This podcast is for the parents. While we do talk about our kids, it is more about how we raise our children and learn from those moments, together. We are sharing our journey with you as it unfolds, so there are many lessons still left to learn. We want to acknowledge the feelings and emotions that we all go through as parents and hopefully help you feel that you aren't alone by joining our community. We cover hard topics like parental rage, communication issues, parental teamwork, househol ...

With our youngest being almost 2 and our oldest being 4, it can be quite difficult to make sure that they both feel like they are being treated equally. Are they both getting at least somewhat equal one on one time? Are they both getting the attention they need? What about sugary goodness (even though we do try to keep that at a minimum)? There's a…

Please don't mind the weird things going on with our audio and enjoy our discussion about finally being in a place in our parenthood journey where we aren't struggling to find sanity on a daily basis, and instead we are starting to think about more productive ways to spend our after hours time. There is also a little sprinkling conversation about d…

Here is our #1 rule in our relationship and why we feel it is so important. It has helped us through thick and thin, and has helped both of us to truly be seen and heard. This is specific to what works for us, but regardless we do feel that every relationship could benefit from having a set of boundaries and limits that enhance their communications…

Friends, the audio did not go that smoothly in this episode, but we wouldn't have posted in unless the message was worth it. So I hope no one is too bothered. Being a parent is hard and it is okay to let go of that guilt that we might feel about being a bad parents. It is impossible to be a perfect parent, we are all just doing our best. And that i…

Every couple argues. And then you add kids into the situation and of course the added stress can make arguments come up more often. But arguing doesn't have to be unhealthy, in fact, it can be quite healthy for your relationship if done with respect and love (and not by demeaning your partner). Jesse and Sam talk about how they try to handle their …

Here we talk about the difficulties that can be felt when you hear the dreaded words, "Play with me!" There are a lot of feelings involved, including guilt, and sadness, and anger, and frustration. These are all normal. Especially when it feels like your children already demand a lot of your time. We also talk about the time we caught Ollie in a li…

We don't want to mislead, we do not yet know the secret to making children eat their food. But we do know about food, well, one of us does. Today we are joined by certified raw Chef, Jesse. Forget about the raw part, because that is not us at all. We're talking about trying to make sense of children's eating preferences, what they nutritionally nee…

Sam starts us off by delving into how we felt like our children experienced the trip while Jesse tries to get a tired 2 year old to PLEASE GO TO SLEEP. When he finally joins us, he divulges some insights into how his day as a stay at home parent went, as well as some epiphanies he has about being a stay at home parent versus being a working parent.…

TW: talk of depression and suicide The one where Sam goes to work and Jesse stays home with the children. How did it go? We talk very candidly and our conversation is truthful and raw. There is anger, there are tears, and in the end, there is laughter. It can be so hard to be vulnerable, but being a parent can feel so isolating, and hearing stories…

Something that we have learned in our life so far is that what counts more is the journey, not the destination. And we have noticed that we have been giving so much praise to our doves when they complete a project and come show us. "Oh! You did it!" "Good job!" What we don't do, is praise their journey, their effort that they put into their task. T…

Time management is as ever changing as our children. We start off trying to figure out where the breakdown in communication happened during our dinner and bedtime. Then we jump right in to time. Some days go by so so fast and then other days feel like they just drag on and on and on, and then some days just get away from you! It is hard, at least f…

How we each feel about play times? Sam advocates for incorporating learning into our interactions, while Jesse feels like perhaps they should be more about going with the flow. There is no one right way, but we had such a lovely chat about things that we've experienced both together and independently. This episode is full of laughter as we continue…

There are many ways in which to help your children understand their feelings and their emotions. Join us as we explain how we are muddling through and our logic behind our methods, imperfect as they may be. Whichever way you tackle this part of their development, we feel that feelings and emotions are crucially important to navigating the world. Sa…

This eppy starts out a little rough. We are sorry for the audio mixup. At least it is nice lounge music to get you ready for a super taboo topic. Parental Rage. It. Is. So. Common. Many parents feel it and keep it locked up in a closet of shame. There is no shame. Parenting is so taxing on every aspect of yourself. While there are lovely magical mo…

Parenting is hard, guys. So hard. This episode includes some heartbreak and a parental disagreement regarding the rough ending of our day. It was meant to be something completely different, as you shall hear when you start to listen. Sam's mommy brain also says this is the 4th episode, for the 3rd time in a row.…

How did having children affect who we are? In this episode we talk about who we were before we had children, our likes and hobbies, and we got into detail about the transformation that occurred for us after we became parents. Is it a question of re-finding ourselves, or are we completely new people?By Samantha Gomez, Jesse Nunley
