Summary

This week, we chat solo parenting with older kids, adjusting expectations, and the art of transitioning back to a two-parent household whenever our husbands are home.

Enjoy!

about solo parenting, when dad is gone in just a second, but I want to introduce you

0:20.6

to a brand new podcast sponsor, Yeah Baby Goods. And I have a fun fact for you. The

0:27.1

IKEA Intelop High Chair, $20, is the world's best selling high chair.
