| 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 304 of the Mom Hour. |

| 1:11.1 | it's attractive. Yeah, totally agree. And I love these as well when we get such |
| 1:17.1 | a variety of questions and we really did get this time. We got some really |
| 1:20.4 | interesting ones that we haven't really covered before or just as a slightly |

| 1:26.7 | It is. Before we dive into listener questions, I have some data for you Megan |
