Things are a bit noisy on this old school, in-person, toddlers in the background version of Hey Mama! Charlie is having a rocky transition back to preschool. But the good news? We ran a 5k! Although we’re quick to point out that our kids even manage to ruin that.
#175 – We’re Back!
We address where we’ve been, why we’ve been a bit absent and how we’re committing to the future of the pod! We reflect on how our kids are starting to affect the rhythm of our lives. Caitlin talks about both boys getting coxsackie. Laura’s youngest is dealing with his own bouts of illness but she’s also preparing for a solo vacation (yes, vacation!) with friends.

#174 – The Highs and the Lows
Caitlin talks about how David is being angelic at the moment, and Laura tells us a story of Tommy giving her a morning sleep gift. Speaking of sleep, Caitlin has a mini-meltdown about Joe’s sleep, but has gotten out of it. We are super proud of our boys for well-behaved self-directed play.

#173 – Fights and Bikes
Caitlin recaps David’s birthday and an epic fight that ensued with planning the party. Tommy seems much more fearful than Charlie and maybe it’s affecting his sleep? But also he and Joe are agro.

#172 – Computer Glitches
Laura talks about her recent summer family trip, and why it seems like there’s less relaxation time this year with a young toddler vs. last year when she had an infant. Caitlin feels like a hot mess mom and her computer has decided to have a crappy day – which is ALSO why she is only in half the episode! Her audio cut out so enjoy the second half of the episode with Laura riding solo.

#171 – What?
David can’t seem to understand Caitlin, and it’s really annoying. Laura is looking forward to a trip with her family, and Caitlin recaps a recent family party that was kind of exhausting with David. Plus Caitlin is trying Whole30 again, and Laura fails at gifts (again).

#168 – Annual Reminder that Vacations are Actually Trips
We open the show by recapping our wildly different Memorial Day weekends, both of which made us really excited for our own and our kids’ futures of fun vacationing as they get more self-sufficient and independent. Surprising no one, Caitlin talks about how exhausting an active, curious young toddler is. Laura is pondering whether to adjust Charlie’s preschool schedule. We both cringe at childcare and preschool costs.
