Edibles, poison drinks, and botox. And that's just in the first few minutes.

Katie and I are back, and we've got a LOT to cover in this episode! 

I know a lot of us are in the thick of summer with our kids. Are you thriving, or surviving? Katie and I dig into the "WTF" that comes with all this extra bonding time with our babies. 

We also cover:

• Parenting kids with special needs and/or disorders, understanding the autism spectrum
• Mom friends on defense, and what our ideal type of friend would be
• Dealing with our kids in tough moments. What is acting "appropriately?" Why is it so hard?
• Speaking of hard - why is it so hard to drink water?

We've packed a lot into one episode, but I hope you listen and leave feeling seen. We're in this together, remember?

Katie Costa is my hilarious friend behind @Mommyneeds_morewine and joins me each month as co-host for an always relatable, always fun episode.
