It's Probably Fine

“Quiet is a special commodity with kids around.”

January and February are tough months to have active, young kids. In this episode, we spend time brainstorming activities that we use to keep the kids busy during times when we have to stay indoors. 

Things no one told me about breastfeeding:

-youtube can actually be your friend here
-pumping is the worst
-get a haakaa

It's one of the hardest, yet most rewarding battles as a parent: your child's growing independence. It's all cute and fun when they're two deciding on what fruit they want with lunch, but the choices get bigger and so do the struggles.

On this episode we talk about how It's Probably Fine that the Kids Mix the Play-Doh. We discuss letting go of the expectations we have as parents and letting the kids make some of their own decisions and make some of their own mistakes.

Things no one told us about post partum recovery.

"No matter how it happens, I think bringing that first baby into your home rocks your world no matter who you are."

In Episode 5, we discuss birth order, family size, some boy mom versus girl mom stuff, and how each kid changes the dynamics of the family with their personality and presence.

In this episode, we discuss all the things no one told us about childbirth.

"You're going to have to work to find yourself again and what you find might be different and that's ok."

Do you ever feeling like you're having trouble balancing it all as a mom? It seems like we're trying to take care of everyone and everything and it just never quite works out the way it's supposed to!

In Episode 3, we're talking about how it's probably fine not to do it all. We go into balance, a little about mental load, self-care, and more.

In this episode, we start a series called "Things No One Told Me" where we pick a topic and try to cover ALL the things it seems like no one told us in preparation of that life event. For the first episode of this series, we start with the topic of pregnancy.

Hi! We're two moms starting a conversation about real lives as real moms. No matter what happens...it's probably fine.

In this episode, we introduce ourselves just a little and talk about why we wanted to start this podcast. We cover a little on social expectations, how "success" as a mother looks different for everyone, and finding some time to take care of yourself. In true real-life-mom fashion, there are also mentions of piles of laundry being all over my house just waiting to be folded and put away.
