The Mothers Groups Helping With Cost Of Living

Starting a family isn't always as straightforward as it seems. After years of trying to avoid pregnancy, many women are surprised by how difficult it can take to conceive. 
In this episode, Tegan and Libby discuss their own fertility journeys, sharing the challenges they faced and the experiences of those close to them. They also talk about friends who are still struggling or have decided, after many rounds of IVF, not to have children.
And in recommendations, Libby’s active 10 month old has bought a new item into the household and Tegan has spotted the perfect all in one item for a pram, bike and stroller.

‘Banned Phrases’ We‘ve Definitely Been Saying

Social media may be a mixed bag of silly videos, news and feel good moments. It can also be an online village for parents.

Plus a competition hack has sparked the interest of our olympian mum Libby.
And in nails and fails Tegan is proud of both the boys in her life!

Is Competition The Secret To Parenting Success?

In case you missed it, (which would be highly unlikely) the Arj Barker comedy show caused quite a stir in the media last week. Tegan has very strong thoughts about babies at gigs, and Libby is Switzerland.
But there is one thing they both agree on, yes kids are kind of annoying when in public places.... But it's usually their own parents that find them the most annoying of all. 
And in recommendations Tegan is now a full blown gardener and Libby has found the perfect picnic rug for a family.
