| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from |
| 0:05.2 | little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages |
| 0:09.0 | of life, but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share |
| 0:12.7 | tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're |
| 0:16.6 | not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real. |
| 0:19.9 | Welcome to the mom hour. Hey everyone and welcome to episode 323 of the |

| 1:07.3 | day five of my birthday weekend. Yeah, we're just kicking off for the next day. |
| 1:10.9 | One who knows who knows. Well, yeah, I thought it is kind of fun. First of all, I |
| 1:16.6 | always think it's fun when an episode day falls on one of our birthdays just |
