| 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 361 of the mom |
| 0:26.9 | hour. I am Sarah Powers and I am sitting four feet away in the flesh from Megan |

| 1:06.3 | general mess and destruction in the hotel room. And we're both in bed with our |
| 1:12.7 | legs under the covers. We did get a question like someone was curious about |
| 1:15.4 | whether we work in bed if we are under or over the covers. I would say if I |
| 1:18.8 | was at home, I'd be on top of the covers. Me too. But something about being in a |
| 1:21.9 | hotel under the covers is actually also virtually in here. Yes. So we got some |
| 1:25.6 | serious AC going. I mean, let's comment on the state of the room for a quick |
| 1:30.2 | second. I feel like we don't trash a hotel room like rock stars. We sort of |
