Hi I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from

little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages

of life but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share

tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're

not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real.

Welcome to the mom hour. Hi everyone and welcome to the mom hour. I'm Megan

Francis here with Sarah Powers. Hey Sarah. Hey Megan. Well we are excited to be

here in your ears on a Sunday because of course that means that it is a more

than mom episode and those are some of our favorites. Yeah I'm super excited

about this one. You planned it. I'm just showing up. Well it's it's kind of like

we're just like we do with more than mom episodes. It's gonna be a

mishmash of topics all having to do with like what we do for fun or

diversions how we occupy ourselves and what I think is really fun about this

one is that we're coming off a year that's been very strange for diversions and

hobbies and what we do like I don't think this year looks the same for any like

literally anybody whether it's just because of the stuff you're not doing or

whether it's because of the stuff you are doing now that you weren't doing

before. Right and we we keep calling it a year because we are just circling

around this one year anniversary of when the world changed but don't you feel

like Megan it's really been like I don't know like a play in three acts like

the things I was doing with my quote-unquote like free time or down time or

ways I was passing the time or things I was seeking out for fun in the spring
