We are sad to let you know, that this is the final episode of the Parenting in Real Life Podcast. We took this episode to share a few things we learned from podcasting for 7.5 years. This whole podcast documented our kids' young years and us learning as young parents. When we started, our oldest was 5 years old and now our youngest is 5. We'll leave these episodes available for you to go back through if you find them helpful.
