In this episode we are stepping back and thinking about what we want the end result of all this parenting to look like. What do we hope our children take away or look back on with fondness? What values do we hope they carry forward? We are talking long term family values and goals. It’s SO easy to get caught up in the day to day and the minutiae of parenting and surviving, join us as we spend some time getting philosophical and talking about they “Why?” of it all!

This episode is all about our favorite ages and stages! As parents that are early in our journey we didn’t have 18 years of material to choose from, but we feel like there is a LOT of nuance in these early years for us to dig into!
Listen in as we touch on baby milestones, hearing your toddler put together a sentence, the delight a 4 year old finds in life and having deep conversations with your preschooler. We also get into our LEAST favorite ages, but we are guessing there are no surprises with our choice 😏.

In this episode we are talking about our second go round of the postpartum experience! We tried to incorporate some lessons learned from our first experiences (Setting up lots of visitors! Latch the baby whenever you can! Ditch breastfeeding altogether for your mental health! Leave the stupid nightgown at home!) but of course each experience creates unique challenges. Listen in for how we handled newborn formula feeding, a COVID hospital stay, and introducing your new baby to your first born.
