You're listening to 3 in 30 takeaways for moms episode 45. How to use humor as a coping tool in motherhood.

Welcome to 3 in 30, a podcast for moms who want to create more meaning in motherhood.

Each 30 minute episode will feature three doable takeaways for you to try at home with your family this week.

I'm your host, Rachel Nielsen. Thank you so much for being here.

A few years ago on Mother's Day, I was sitting in church trying to listen, trying to feel peaceful, which is very hard to do when you have young children at church.

And Sally was climbing up on my back and on my head, and Noah was at my feet playing with a car, making very loud noises, no matter how many times I touched him.

And the speaker was up there talking about his angelic mother and how she had always kept an immaculately clean house.

And he went into all the details about how they had this routine that right after dinner, his mom would get up and clean every square inch.

And she never went to bed with dishes in the sink and on and on a yadi yadi.

And Noah, who was down below me, I thought he wasn't listening to a word and all of the sudden he piped in.

Well, our house is always a mess.

And everyone around started laughing.

And I started laughing and thought I could cry in this moment of this non-peaceful Mother's Day church.

Or I can just laugh at it. And in that moment, I chose to laugh.

And we have some guests on the podcast today who are going to teach us how to do that better and more often how to use humor as a coping tool in motherhood.

And they have their own motherhood podcast called family looking up.

It's three best friends, Camille, Beth and Andrea, and they're known for making their listeners laugh with their signature sense of humor and their tales of the insanity of motherhood.

I'm so excited to have them on and hopefully we'll get a few laughs from their interview today.
