Welcome to Karen Feeding, where we get into the joys, challenges, and everyday realities

of parenting. I'm Elizabeth Newkamp. I write the homeschool and family travel blog, Dutch Dutch

goose. I'm the mom to Henry who's 13, Oliver who's 11, and, who's nine. And I'm in Rome. I'm Lucy Lopez. I host another podcast, the Mama Sita Rica. I'm mother to Amelia, who is 15, Avery, who's 12, and we live in Miami, Florida. I'm Zach Rosen. I also host another podcast. It's called Weirdly Helpful. It used to be called The Best Advice Show.

I am dad to Noah, who's eight, and Ami, who's five. We live in Detroit.
