The holidays are often a time for gift-giving, but when you want gifts to be thoughtful and not wasteful, this can take some extra brain power. Alegre talks you through a few philosophies she uses when gifting her immediate family.

On this podcast, Alegre tackles how to apply planning to any celebratory meal including ways to space out the grocery shopping and cooking, and also helping you list all of the "invisible" work that you might forget about.

Your body is ever-changing, on the inside and the outside. However, perhaps our closets -- and our children -- make us a little bit more aware of the external changes.
