Hello and welcome to the MS-Mama

for Mama podcast I'm your host Abby Halberstadt, happy wife,

Mama to 10 Bible Believing Christian.

And before we get going on today's podcast,

which is our very last episode of 2023,

I want to highlight for you one more time

in this year our sponsor Milk and honey jewelry they make beautiful

eirloom pass it down to your kids keeps sake jewelry out of your breast milk or

formula to commemorate that time feeding your little one or little ones.

Plural, they have quite the collection that you could gather through the years and if you got some

Christmas cash burning a hole in your wallet, I guarantee you this is a wonderful long lasting beautiful way to

spend it. You can use the code Abbey for 15% off that's A B B I E at Milk and Honey Dot Jewelry.

Okay, so as I mentioned, this is the last episode of 2023.

I started this podcast a little less than a year ago, and I was thinking that I was going to end the year with

an even 50 episodes there 52 weeks in a year I realize but I pre-recorded as many

episodes as I could get to in the crazy leading up to our trip to Europe

And I was short to and so I thought okay well I'll at even 50. And that's a great number of episodes

to have released my first ever year of podcasting.

Super happy about that number.

And then I was looking at the list of episodes and I realized this was going to be

episode 49, Wom Wom-Wom. I'm like what a strange number to end on but that's okay.

So I was trying to figure out if I had missed another week somewhere and my son Ezra who produces this podcast reminded me that I actually did not start podcasting in the very first week of 2023 and that makes sense because I usually take off the last week of the year and a little bit of the next week, so I was probably still kind of reorienting myself for the coming year when I started this podcast.
