Hello and welcome to May is for Mamas. I'm so excited. I love this month of the year on the

Work and Play podcast. All right, we are kicking off this series with 20 of my favorite things

that I have experienced this postpartum season. So this is going to be a great episode for you

to forward to a pregnant mama or someone who is postpartum. This is how we're kicking it off, but there's going to be a total of five episodes released

every Thursday during the month of May with something for moms, something free for you,

like a gift or a discount or something.

It's all going to be in every episode, but you have to stay and listen to the end.

So don't miss it.

I can't wait for May is for Mama's 20, 25.

Let's go.

You're listening to Work and Play with Nancy Ray, episode 270.

Much of our daily lives can be divided into two categories, work and play. Simply put,

it's our life and our legacy take place. This is a podcast all about learning to work and play well,

which leads to a healthy soul and a fulfilling life. Let's dive in.

All right, a couple things, moms. I love you. Thank you for listening. I'm going to kind of run down what I'm thinking for this month for my episode so you kind of know what's to come. And I'm going to be real with you and tell you some challenges that I've had in this very recording. So first, let's kick it off by letting you know kind of what I'm thinking.

I'm going to do 20 things for postpartum. That's this episode. Next episode, I'm going to be sharing

Winnie's birth story. Then I'm going to share what's saving my life as a mom of five, then how to have a nesting party,

which was the best thing that happened to me this last pregnancy, and finally, simple ways to

feel closer to God as a busy mom. Now, let me just say, it has been a challenge with my podcast lately.

Currently, I am in my boy's closet, mom life, trying to record this, the baby's asleep.

Gracie, our babysitter, has taken all of the kids, the big kids, poor big kids to gymnastics.

And while I'm in here
