This week Sam and I go into detail on the methods we use for our kids bedtimes. There are a few different “methods” that are very commonly discussed, and it is extremely important that we do not judge another parent for the method they choose. Something that works for you isn’t automatically going to work for another, and that’s okay! We talk about the different things we’ve tried and what works b...

This week my new friend Leanna joins me to talk all things unmedicated birth! She talks about how she prepared for them, how she got through them, and all the things in between.

This week my mom joins me to discuss how different things are now versus raising me in the 90’s! This was so fun to talk about these differences and similarities and to go down memory lane a little. My mom really loves sleep sacks so we discuss those as our product this week. Also, it’s Kyte Baby for sleep sacks not Sky Baby. Mom brain never goes away!

My friend Cindy joins me this week while Sam is finishing up the school year!
