Brittney Hanks of Home & Kind is known for her mom hacks in the kitchen and around the house for DIY projects. During this conversation, she teaches us how to shave off major time when it comes to prepping school lunches in bulk. (mindblown!) Not only that but she is saving dinnertime with her new cookbook, One Stop Costco Meals. She shares her greatest Costco buys, what she considers a waste of money, and what special items to watch out for the next time you are shopping.  

Vanessa and Brittney dive deep into parenting, discussing strategies for combating burnout, the significance of nurturing hobbies as a mom, and effective ways to manage overwhelming moments.
