| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Megan. |
| 0:01.8 | And I'm Sarah. |
| 0:02.7 | We're two moms with eight kids between us, and we're the hosts of The Mom Hour. |
| 0:06.9 | On this show, we're joined by a team of unique mom voices from across the country and in different stages of motherhood to bring you tips, ideas, and encouragement. |
| 0:15.3 | And to help you feel a little less alone. |
| 0:17.3 | We all know that motherhood is a lot easier when real moms share honest truths and remind |

| 1:29.3 | very bleak. And when we start like, well, not me, but start looking for those sunnier locations. |
| 1:36.1 | So anywhere, wherever you are in your travel, dreaming and planning, episode one in this series |
| 1:41.2 | was just about that. The dreaming and planning. We talked about how we decide on destinations, what kind of destinations we're still dreaming |
