We’re back, baby! 🎉 In this Season 2 kickoff, Kristin and Herm recap their whirlwind summer, from sandy toes in Daytona Beach to dodging heatstroke at Universal Studios. They dive into the chaos (and comedy) of traveling with kids, managing meltdowns in the name of magic, and squeezing in family memories before the school bell rings.

Along the way, they reflect on parenting wins (and whoops), community support, and what it really takes to keep your cool in 90% humidity with churros in hand. Plus, it’s football season again, which means it’s time to trade flip-flops for cleats and jump headfirst into fall family life.

If you’ve ever packed seven people into a hotel room or tried to make a “relaxing” vacation itinerary, this one’s for you.
