Back to school, back to chaos.

In this episode, we're returning to routine - sort of. We chat about starting school again, the admin overload that comes with big families, and how even the smallest traditions (like a sugar cone full of sweets) help everyone feel grounded again.

Abi shares a tough decision about rehoming their rescue dog, how that affected the kids, and what it's like supporting a neurodivergent child through the storm of September.

There's school photos, cereal negotiations, a few meltdowns (some from the adults), and a lot of reflection on what it takes to keep blended families moving forward.
