Nap Time + Me Time: Real Parent Talk About Real Parent $#!*
I’m a letterboard-lovin’, scarf-wearing, puree-makin’, wine-drinkin’, slow-weanin’ toddler mom that lingers a little too long in the classroom rambling to the teachers about what her kid’s bedtime routine is like and explaining why said kid has peanut butter in her hair.I’m a little bit of a hot mess, and a little bit (okay, a lot) extra. As much as I love being a mom, sometimes I just need a minute and that minute usually (okay, always) includes wine. In each episode, I grab a glass of wine and a good friend and we just dive right in – into the highs (the first time they *really* smile at you), the lows (when you buy two pounds of strawberries right when they decide they hate strawberries), and everything in-between.So, grab a glass and have some “Me Time” with me. You deserve it.
Episodes
In this episode, I sit down with a new friend, Sandra. We walk through the journey she's been on with her three kids. Two of her kids have craniosynostosis (a condition where the bones of the baby's skull prematurely fuse together). In addition, her oldest son recently got diagnosed with autism. This episode is the perfect mix of down-to-earth and emotional, which, after spending time with Sandra, pretty much describes he...
In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Katie. Katie and I don't just bond over our shared love of the Bobby Bones Show, we also have a frank conversation about all that comes with motherhood *after* you bring that adorable little nugget home. This episode delves into how sometimes being the best parent means taking time for yourself away from those kiddos that you love so much.
In this episode, I sit down with Laura Jones, who's both a mom and step-mom. Nothing was off-limits in this episode, not vasectomies, IVF, or the highs and lows of being a young stepmom to a moody teenager.
In this episode of Nap Time + Me Time, I switch things up and talk with a soon-to-be mom. Sara and I chat about what her experience has been like so far, what's she's excited about, and what's making her a little nervous.
In this episode, Carrie takes her place at the parent table as a "chill mom." She speaks on journey through parenthood sans her mom and even coins her own version of parenting as "Semi-Homemade," (a la Sandra Lee from the Food Network).
Eddie details the journey he and his husband have taken over the past year to foster and adopt three beautiful kids, move to a new-old city, and try to find the balance between work, family, friends, and life.
Cindy and I sit down and talk about her journey through parenthood as a teen mom (before there was a show), through nursing school, and now as a mom in her 30s, who's settled in to it all.
Welcome to a brand-new podcast for parents where we skip past the mundane and dive into the REAL. Grab a glass of wine and have some "me time" with me. You know you deserve it.
