Summary
Does a peaceful evening beget a better morning? Let's find out. Today Meagan and Sarah talk about our evening routines lately, and next week we'll do the same with mornings. Now that our kids are older, we try to make time for the little things that make winding down feel calm and intentional. Plus, we share how we shut down our homes and families for the night, and how our loved ones—both human and animal—fit into the mix. Nighty-night!

| 0:00.0 | Okay, Sarah, we've been chatting a lot about all the great things you can find from our sponsor |
| 0:04.9 | Wayfair, like furniture, bedding, and rugs. But Wayfair is also a great source for some things you |
| 0:10.9 | might be surprised about. Like pet products, for example, Wayfair has orthopedic dog beds and state-of-the-art |
| 0:17.4 | litter boxes and even, get this, products for chicken care. |
| 0:22.0 | Now, my flock has a pretty good setup at the moment, but I am pretty impressed with Wayfair's |
| 0:26.3 | selection of chicken coops, chicken runs, and even accessories like egg incubators. |
| 0:31.4 | Okay, wow, Megan, I would have assumed you'd need to go to a farm store for that kind of |
| 0:35.7 | stuff, but that's amazing. |
| 0:37.0 | You can browse it |
| 0:37.6 | all on Wayfair site and then have it delivered to your doorstep fast and free. I love shopping |
| 0:43.0 | the Wayfair app or online at Wayfair.com. Their site makes it easy to shop and narrow down items by |
| 0:48.2 | price, size, color, material, whatever matters to you. And you know how much I can't resist a markdown, |
| 0:53.7 | right? So one of my favorite |
| 0:55.1 | things to do is browse clearance. You can score some serious deals there. Head over to Wayfair.com and find |
| 1:01.5 | something that's just your style today. That's W-A-Y-F-A-I-R.com. Wayfair, every style, every home. |
| 1:10.2 | Hey friends, Megan here. |
| 1:11.6 | I wanted to ask you a favor. |
| 1:12.6 | My book, the last parenting book you'll ever read, comes out in May. |
| 1:16.6 | And if you're planning to order a copy for yourself or maybe a friend or your sister, pre-ordering is so helpful. |
| 1:23.6 | Pre-orders of books kind of signal to retailers that people are interested in a particular title. |
| 1:29.6 | So then that retailer makes sure to order lots of copies from the publisher, which means the book just has a way better chance of selling well. |
| 1:36.5 | And if you were planning on checking this book out from the library, you can also ask your library to pre-order their copy in advance, which also helps. |
