After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings

Forget the Perfect Summer: Here's What We're Doing Instead


Listen Later

If you're feeling like summer has somehow become another thing you have to nail” or do perfectly"... this episode is your reminder that you don't have to.


Our feeds are full of magical summer moments, bucket lists, and family vacations that look effortless and picture perfect so it's easy to feel like we're not doing enough.


In this hilarious episode, Kristin and Deena are playing “F*ck Yeah or F*ck No" to all of this summer's biggest trends—from hotel pool passes and reading romance novels to Labubus, camping chairs, creatine, pickleball, backyard movie nights, and everything in between.


Along the way, they accidentally stumble into some surprisingly important conversations about motherhood, boundaries, partnership, body image, and why your kids don't actually need a Pinterest-perfect summer.


In this episode, you'll hear:

* The summer trends Kristin and Deena are fully embracing (and the ones they're absolutely not).

* Why staying home might actually create better family memories than chasing the "perfect" vacation.

* The simple mindset shift that takes the pressure off creating the "best summer ever."

* Why saying no might be the healthiest trend of all this year.

* What your kids will ACTUALLY remember from the summer, rather than what you think they will


Whether you're planning a huge vacation, hanging out in your own backyard, or trying to make it to September with your sanity intact, this conversations is your reminder that your kids don’t need a perfect summer!


So lower the pressure, laugh along with us, and tell us which summer trends you're saying "F*ck Yeah" to... and which ones you're leaving behind.
