60. How to Celebrate New Year’s With Young Kids (Without Staying Up Till Midnight)

New Year’s looks a little different when you have little kids—and that’s okay 🤍

In this episode, I’m sharing simple, low-stress ways to celebrate New Year’s with young kids without staying up too late, overdoing it, or exhausting yourself in the process.

 

These ideas are easy to set up, fun for kids, and realistic for parents who are already carrying a lot—physically and mentally.

 

 

In this episode, we talk about:

 

 

• Using last year’s ball drop on YouTube so you can celebrate at a kid-friendly time
• An easy balloon drop using a dollar-store tablecloth and balloons
• Why packing pajamas for the drive home makes bedtime so much smoother
• Bringing sleeping bags or lovies so kids can rest comfortably at a party
• Planning simple games every hour to keep excitement spread out and manageable

 

 

This episode is a reminder that New Year’s doesn’t have to be loud, late, or complicated to be meaningful. Small tweaks can make celebrations more enjoyable—and a whole lot easier on your body.
