This is another episode that highlights our different parenting styles, particularly regarding Halloween! We share some of our experiences trick or treating and some suggestions for leftover Halloween candy. (P.S. I completely did have those saints listed wrong in my description of that book! Coincidentally my oldest picked it the following night for bedtime to make me feel terrible about my mistake.) 

You are definitely not alone if you are feeling a little overwhelmed and nervous about pregnancy. Listen to Marty and Priscilla commiserate about what it's like being pregnant!

Marty and Priscilla discuss "the mental load" and "emotional labor" as they pertain to motherhood and relationships. Just having defined terms relating to these two things help keep us grounded!

Marty and Priscilla chat about where they get all the "Stuff" you need for little kids: diapers, snacks, clothes, everything but new items for yourself, because we know you aren't buying that.
