Well, we tried to record this a few days ago and ended up fighting instead. Does that sum up marriage or what?! We’re back with take 2 and excited to catch up! We talk about along the waves, guilt for trying to have some kid-free time, and what friendships look like after babies.  Thanks for listening!

Welcome back! This was one of those weeks where we sat down, looked at each other and thought wait, what even happened in the last week?! Our memories might not be fresh but believe it or not we still found things to talk about 😉. We also go over the remaining questions to ask your spouse to check in and see how things are going (spoiler alert: lukewarm over here). Have a wonderful week!  Thanks...

This week we chat about our weekend excursion to Colorado Springs and how we both almost fell off the side of a mountain (not really). We also touch on how we feel like we have two different styles of parenting right now and need to come together moving forward, how marriage has changed after kids, and a million other random little things.  Thanks for listening!

This week we chat about how hard it is to lose yourself in parenthood and why finding a hobby can feel so impossible. Do we have any solutions? No, but it might help just hearing that you aren't the only one who feels a little lost. We also talk about trying to find time for each other each week (spoiler alert, we're failing), sleep, and everything else in between.  Thanks for listening!...

Hi friends! This week we catch up and share why we yelled at each other in the car for 30 minutes (no, we are not proud), chat about the online homeschool vs public school debate, and per usual just chat about random things in life as if we were all hanging out as friends.  Thanks for listening!

This week we revisit some crazy stories from engineering (aka what my senior manager said to me when I told him I was pregnant), talk about our foiled weekend date night plans, and per usual jump around with random updates and chats about the chaos that is life right now.  Thanks for listening!

Hi!! We are back from vacation and for ONCE in our careers as parents we can actually say it was successful. There were still lots of breakdowns but overall this was the first trip where we actually enjoyed ourselves! We also talk about our daughters pet crab claw (that attacked Annalee while sleeping), and why we are LOWERING our expectations in all aspects of life.  Thanks for listening! Please...

Just Annalee this week! I talk about my time as watermelon disco girl filming the Jukebox music video this week, how to slow down the mom rage when you feel it coming, and just general fun catch up on life!  Thanks for listening!

We are BACK and we missed you! Last week Ethan and Annalee traveled to Jellystone Park for a chaotic weekend (that place is a lawless land), where kiddos got sick and Annalee struggled with preferred parent resentment. We also go over how we manage our expectations of each other as a team, how to navigate feeling resentment, and most importantly, how Ethan does not really know any of the Disney Ch...

Do dads get intrusive thoughts like moms do? Does Ethan ever have nightmares about the Titanic or the Grand Canyon like Annalee does?! Have we finally unlocked a new stage of parenting where things are getting slightly easier? What helps Ethan communicate and share his emotions?! All this and a million other random things this week on Riding Along the Waves!   Thanks for listening! Please subscrib...

It's been two weeks since Annalee and Ethan sat down together and we are EXCITED to chat and catch up! This week we go over our last trip to California, including airplane horror stories with baby, why Annalee got in a fight at her grandparents funeral this weekend, and other anecdotes about traveling with small children. We also dive into working out of the home after having babies and how f...

Well I'm only 3 weeks late, but here's our home birth story! While our first was born in the hospital, our second was born at home during a record breaking blizzard.  Annalee chats about her home birth experience, why she choose it after her first was born in the hospital, what she did to prepare, how she coped with the pain, and more! Back next week with regular BSing episodes .  Thanks...

Helllooooo! Is it just us or does summer already feel like it's flying by? Didn't we all agree we weren't going to have a busy summer?! What's happening?!  This week we chat about a 75 year love story, why we yelled at each other last night (spoiler alert: its DUMB), dealing with family and setting boundaries, and why Annalee feels like she is a mediocre queen. We also revisit...

Another week in the books! This week we chat about why Annalee went full rage mode in the car (it's embarrassing), the guilt around going away for a night, and why having more kids scares the absolute sh!t out of both of us (and no, we're not pregnant).  Thanks for listening!

Well...we survived a week with minimal childcare and full time work schedules. Once again, TERRIBLE planning on our part but we learned some good lessons and had some fun with the kiddos in between the chaos. This week we talk about balancing work and parenting, how Annalee almost got kicked out of the community pool, and why we just need to lower our expectations as parents.  Thanks for listening...

Not trying to be obnoxious clickbait, but Annalee thinks she's pregnant and it's stressing her tf out and Ethan is pretty sure she's not, but who knows?!?! What a fun waiting game! We also chat about our week, why Annalee yelled at Ethan last night, and how we've finally made it to a summer with no naps or diapers. Just in time to question whether or not we really want another...

Hello hello hello! Anyone else excited for summer? This week we catch up per usual and share the time Ethan got into a fight with someone at our local rec center. We also chat about Casa Bonita (yes, we got IN!), what made our kids yell at us this week, and why default parenting can affect intimacy. Come hang out!  Thanks for listening!

It’s been a busy few days! This week we chat about all the usual stuff, plus why it’s so easy to resent your partner when you’re the default parent, the reason Annalee was almost on Dr Phil, and so much more. Home birth story coming this week too.  Thanks for listening! Please subscribe and leave a review ❤️  You can find us on the following platforms: Instagram.com/Annalee15 Tiktok.com/@annaleegr...

Well it's only been a week since we last recorded but it feels like it's been months! This week we chat about how our week has been which (no shocker her) includes lots of emotional whiplash and questioning why it feels like it's  so "easy" for everyone else but us. Annalee chats about her busy weekend (a creator meetup AND Jesse McCartney?!) and Ethan shares how he handle...

Why are the kids so much better and easier when mom is gone? Why do Magnetiles end in tears every single time?! Why don't toddlers just want to SLEEP?! Catch up with us this week as we ponder these questions and a million other random things. Home birth story coming soon... we forgot (shocker).  Thanks for listening!

It's been over a week since we last caught up and thankfully, there's not too much to complain about (well, kind of)! We spend this week's episode talking about a reoccurring argument we've had all week (hello house projects and finances) and also jump into our first birth story (next week will be the home birth!).  Thanks for listening! Please subscribe and leave a review ❤️  ...

This week we go full circle: rehashing a fight we had earlier this week (Ethan may or may not be a bonafide gaslighter), reliving our early dating days when Annalee tried (and failed) to make Ethan jealous, and the never ending feeling of mom guilt (vs dad guilt).  Thanks for listening!

This week we are back on that struggle bus, so please don't judge. Ethan is recovering (kind of) from being sick and all weekend and Annalee almost had a breakdown on the Par 3, BUT (knock on wood) our 3 year old actually *YOU*KNOW*WHAT* through the night!!!! Don't make us say it out loud. Number one rule of fight club... you don't talk about fight club.  Thanks for listening! Pleas...

This week we dive into a past weekend vacation from hell, the reason Annalee once started sobbing in a Bed Bath and Beyond, and yes, why Ethan said vacuuming is kind of like being intimate. Someone help us. And no, we still aren't sleeping.  Thanks for listening!
