Do you cringe at the thought of your toddler attempting to socialize with other kids and adults? After all, most early toddlers favorite words are "No!" and "Mine!" and they may awkwardly avoid making eye-contact with other kids and/or most of the time grab or steal a toy away from another, thus preventing true young friendship from having the chance to occur. In this episode, I discuss how to help your toddler learn how to socialize with various groups of people in an overall healthy, age-appropriate manner that will help them develop into becoming a good, faithful, respectful friend and citizen. I talk about the interaction with babysitters, grandparents/family, other toddlers, strangers, and siblings.

"How we do things" as mamas is much different than from how we did things 30+ years ago. In this episode, I interviewed my mom, Beccy, also called "Gramma B" when she came to visit. I asked her several questions relating to what it was like when she was pregnant with my brother and I. What resources were available, how she prepared for each baby, what early motherhood was like postpartum and what emotional experiences she had as a new and second-time mother. We talk about the similarities and differences between parenting then vs. now.

In this episode, I interview my friend Chelsea Harvil, a friend and member of the multiples club I belong to. This show is all about how being parents has impacted our relationships as married couples. When becoming parents things can be hard as each partner navigates how to be a parent, let alone maintain and keep up a healthy and happy relationship. But we also can grow closer together in many ways also. Chelsea and I discuss the "story" of our marriages from pre-kids to present and discuss both the positives and negatives that have occurred since our wedding days into changing diapers and running after our little ones. Finally, we share some thoughts on how we keep marriage a priority while parenting young children.
