After sitting and chatting with Emily, from Raising Little Millionaires a few weeks ago- we instantly knew we needed a Part 2.

Our first episode with Emily was structured around teaching our children responsibility with money. This episode, we focus more on money for college, learn about 529 and more ways that we can prepare our children for the real world and real money.

We also answer questions that we sent in from YOU, our listeners!

We have officially kicked off the 2025-2026 school year and we thought including Wyatt and Maesyn on the podcast would be a fun twist to the show! Truth be told, they really just liked to look at themselves on the computer while they were talking (so stay tuned for the social clips) but we are both excited to have a little bit of a break from these silly gooses!

Have a great year, y'all!

Do you give your child an allowance? Do they have chores they are expected to do and others they get paid for? Do they really understand the value of a dollar and how to make smart money decisions? We sit down with Emily Holthaus, founder of the social media account Raising Little Millionaires, where she gives amazing money advice for parents and kids of all ages!

You know the song lyrics "every day we hustlin'"?! Raise your hands if that's your EVERY day as a parent!!

(Kaela and Dayna both throw both hands up in the air)

This episode is all about that hustle culture that whether you feel it or notice it or not it is very much a part of your day-to-day.

As a part of our podcast brand (and the need to keep up the hustle) we have an Etsy shop that we created some brand merchandise for so please check it out, share it with your friends and family, and let us know what you would like to see more of!

Dayna got some big news right as summer was starting...she was told her job was being eliminated. The summer was going to be like every other - she would be working and Wyatt would be going to summer camp - but now that plan has changed. The good news is that it's SUMMER TIME IN MICHIGAN! This is truly what we wait all year for, so she is taking it day by day and enjoying the time she has now with her little man and the rest of her friends and family. Listen to this episode to hear what she is planning on doing to also keep her sanity :)

Is it bullying or is it just kids being kids? Recently, Wyatt was playing at the park and we found ourselves in a... situation. Was it just boys playing rough or was it the early stages of Wyatt getting bullied? Meanwhile, Atlas is who is 2.5 is in his hitting stage of toodler-hood. Kaela wants to know if this is normal or if she has a future bully on her hands.

We want to know so we asked the question - What is your guilty pleasure!? Is it watching trash TV? Is it cooking? What about reading or redecorating your house!? Whatever it is, enjoy it! Take time for yourself and do what makes you happy! It will make you a better parent. Listen here to find out what ours are!

Since Dayna did her interview with Sarah alone, it's Kaela's turn to take the mic and chat with her "other half"...Jamie! In this episode, Kaela dives into the finances of it all. Who pays for travel baseball? If the kids are 3 years old today...who the hell pays for college 15 years down the road?! Find out here!

This is an episode about the "D word"...divorce.

This episode Dayna chats with Sarah from Jacob’s Berger Family Law Firm in New Jersey. They talk about all aspects of family law, specializing in divorce and much more.

Dayna asks about the ins and outs of being in this field of work, what’s the rewarding and hard parts of the job. As well as some tips for making co-parenting a little easier.

Whether you know someone going through a divorce or going through this yourself, some of these questions are great to know! Even if it’s just as simple as learning how to support a friend going through divorce.

IT'S SEASON 3 BABY!

Thank you to all of our listeners who have been around since Season 1 Episode 1,c and those who are listening for the first time today. This is out fun little passion project and we are so thankful for another season dedicated to picking our battles.

This episode, were chatting about ROAD TRIPS. Kaela and her husband, Zander, took the kids to visit their Aunt and Uncle in Florida over spring break. Rather than spend an arm and a leg for plane tickets, they risked their sanity and decided to drive!

Packed with snacks, toys, games, prizes and movies- they hit the road and it was a surprising success all around.

Listen in for tips and pointed if you're thinking about doing a long road trip- or if you're team Hell No (like Dayna) you can book that plane ticket!
