Hey, friends, welcome back to my podcast. We are continuing our back to the basics homemaking series here, off season five and today we're talking about

0:23.3

a really important topic and this is something that I think we just tend to not talk about very

often maybe we're embarrassed by it uh I feel like I have been embarrassed by this before um
