caitlin murray (@bigtimeadulting) is so into damp january and i'm emotional about my son turning 5

If you’re on Instagram, I can almost guarantee you’ve seen Caitlin Murray. She has a way of expressing exactly how many moms feel in the day-to-day grind while making you laugh out loud in the process.

After I barely get through today’s intro (happy birthday, Mattis!), Caitlin and I talk about why we’re both out on extreme diets and restrictions and prefer a “damp” approach to alcohol these days… with the occasional full send.

Plus, we talk about decisions about whether to have more kids, and how she knew her family was complete after the birth of her third.

We also get into:

* The vitamin/snack Caitlin’s all about right now

* The quest for the perfect hairband

* Our alternative to Dry January

* Kids behaving totally different inside versus outside the house

* Screen time for young kids

* Our IRL LOLs

* Gem Daily Essentials citrus ginger bites

* Slip hairbands

* High Noon

* Caitlin’s magazine, Soul Snacks (coming soon to Substack!)

* Caitlin’s podcast
