Caitlin talks about her terrible memory and nearly tells the same story within 30 minutes of last telling it. Charlie is popping his second tooth but snails move faster than this tooth is emerging. We’€™ve both fallen into the diaper price comparison rabbit hole, and talk about the panic-inducing realization that not only are our kids turning 1, but we are going to have a party for it.

Charlie isn’t feeling great this week and Laura also was under the weather, which made her birthday less fun than years past.  We talk about the challenges of babies at restaurants and the drain of sick babies. Caitlin isn’t feeling like she is as productive as she used to be and wonders if it’s either the distraction of the baby in the house or the exhaustion that comes from parenting in general.  Laura gives out organization/to-do strategy tips (#nerdtalk!) as we continue our talk about baby brain and how its impacted our performance at our jobs.   Our #tittytip revolves around a baby who bites your boob.

Stuff we talked about:

• Bullet journaling
• Todoist
• A video explanation of what ASMR is
• Birkman Method
• Baby’s First Year Picture Frame
• Renegade Mothering post re: if all you accomplish in a day is keeping your kid alive, GOOD JOB.
