Sprinkle Joy in the Everyday Starting with Easy Kid Friendly Meals
I can’t always pinpoint the shifts in my motherhood journey — but I can 💯 say that Alix Mackey, founder of It’s Tradish helped me reframe the way I parent and has inspired ways of connecting with my kids that make sprinkling joy easy and fun!
Alix Mackey created a brand built around one big belief: traditions don’t have to be complicated to be meaningful. As a mom of three boys (and a lifelong lover of food + gifting as love languages), Alix helps families create connection through simple routines— easy kid friendly meals and family dinners, sprinkle-of-fun moments, and systems that make the magic feel doable.
In this Episode of the Reframed by Frame of Life Podcast Series, we cover:
- 🍽️How Alix makes meal time easier with practical meal prep & reality based planning (I.e looking at her schedule – and planning takeout or crockpot meals when things are crazy!)
- 🏀 How as a mom of 3 teenage boys – she finds ways to connect by meeting them where they’re at — even if it means going to basketball games, attending hip hop concerts, & staying up late to chat.
- ✨ How she sprinkles joy into every day moments as a way to build connection amongst her family and friends.
- 🎁 Her gift closet trick — how she’s making gifting more personal and easier every year. She shares her favorite way to always have a hostess gift and special gifts on hand for teacher appreciation, friends and family’s birthdays and other celebrations throughout the year.
She plans ahead and buys gifts in bulk.
Knowing who she wants to give to – she keeps an eye out all year for the perfect gifts and collects them in a closet to curate when the time comes.
Alix also always has gift wrap, baskets, tissue paper and bows handy too.
Making intentional gifting simple and easy.
