0:00.0	Welcome to Big Fat Positive with Shauna and Laura. This week we have our weekly check-ins. We have our special segment. Why is my kid crying? Will we find out why our kids were crying in Whole Foods, the frozen yogurt shop, and their bedrooms at night? And we close with our BFPs and BFens for the week. Let's get started. Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode
0:22.6	340. Also, happy new year, everyone. Hello, and happy new year, friends. So we are starting
0:31.0	off 2025, the way we've started off 2024, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, and 2020 by recording the podcast and doing our check-ins.
0:41.4	Yes.
0:42.2	Yay.
0:43.1	Five weeks before this actual new year that you are listening to this.

1:27.9	Pignana already done. What other preparations were going on this week? Well, I took off Friday, and my mom came into town, and we got quite a bit down. We went to Costco and got all the snacks and all the food ready. We decorated the house. I don't think I've ever decorated the house early for a party ever. So that was in place,
1:45.5	wrapped Cece's presents. There was a lot of prep work that was done, except for like a lot of
1:51.2	the fun stuff that I was really excited about, which was the crafting things. You know, Super Kitty's
1:55.5	doesn't have a lot of decorations out there for sale. So I was like, let me do it. I got a color
