Summary

EP115. After spending a week up north at the cottage with Milo, Renee wonders if holidays will ever be relaxing again. In this episode she tells us all about her "vacation" and why parents need a solo vacation after every family vacation. "We spend so much time kid-proofing our homes and then we think going to a completely non-kid-proofed environment with 10x as many dangers is going to be relaxing... we are delusional." - Renee THE MOM ROOM Instagram: @themomroompodcast | @the.mom.room The Mom Room Shop www.themomroompodcast.com TikTok: @the.mom.room Facebook Community SPONSORS American Eagle.
