Summary

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we’re talking baby names (because we FINALLY landed on one for baby boy), plus a new little experiment we’ve been trying (and LOVING) at home: phone-free family time from 5:00–7:30 PM. We also get into a new budgeting tactic we’re trying this month (after realizing our spending had gotten a little too YOLO), Tate’s Bunnies & Buddies recap (spoiler: she was not interested in the bunnies), and whether “Where’s Jessica?” is actually the toddler hack everyone says it is (+ some more paci and sleep updates, of course). Oh, and we officially walk back our original take on play kitchens. Then the fun stuff: Harrison’s thoughts on the Summer House drama (our new Bravo correspondent hahaha), Bethenny Frankel’s takes, when you actually need to stop swearing in front of your kids, a boys trip debate, and us planning Easter brunch in real time.

1:07.4	higher and definitely worth the fees.
1:13.5	Do brands have to pay more to have Apple Pay?
1:20.5	I, like, we on our website have everything because we want to make it as easy for the customer,
1:26.3	but I know that some companies don't use Apple Pay, and I think the driver of that is is financial reasons.
