Teresa has fleas in her house, Alison has birds in her house, and we discuss how getting ready for back to school throws all of our rhythms off and brings us back to the reality of planning and scheduling for months on end.  As soon as we get settled, the schedule switches up.

We also talk about what it's like for parent's of young children and how there’s very little support for working parents who have toddlers and preschoolers.  

How do we beat this cycle of change? By creating systems to anticipate changes,  building habits and processes to make school days easier and building our tribe to help us out are answers to our prayers!
