I am so proud of you ladies! Here in the middle of Endless Summer 2020 we asked for some problems and we were flooded with solutions you’ve already come up with. Could we be struggling any well-er? Any more well? Anyway… 

This time you all solved how to add more reading into your days and discovered we can all be the kind of mom that names the days of the week with a cute theme. Here at MSW we are starting with Tired Tuesday and Rebecky’s favorite day of the week: Super Sick With a Surprise Baby Saturday.

WHAT WE CHAT ABOUT:
  • Rebecky’s struggle to trust God to give her another daughter (spoiler alert: God is good and she is having a girl)
  • the gender reveal of Rebecky’s surprise baby
  • Rebecky proves that she really does listen to the show by using Katie’s code word
  • Emily discomfort with having less to accomplish
  • defamation proclamations about a Rugable that shan’t be vacuumed
  • an update on Rebecky’s Peleton purchase
  • Rebecky’s tips and rules for building indoor forts
