Summary

In this solo episode, I recap my son Liam’s second birthday and reflect on the past two years of being his mother. After a special appearance from Liam himself, I dive into the deep connection I feel with him, my postpartum experience and why I think it bonded us, and how Joe and I have increasingly loved each of his phases. I share my feelings on saying goodbye to Liam as my only child, explain our hosting philosophy on keeping joy the priority, and recap how his birthday party went, from ice cream trucks to rented equipment.
