    Why are the kids so much better and easier when mom is gone? Why do Magnetiles end in tears every single time?! Why don't toddlers just want to SLEEP?! Catch up with us this week as we ponder these questions and a million other random things. Home birth story coming soon... we forgot (shocker).

    Our Birth Story (pt 1)!

    Our Birth Story (pt 1)!

    It's been over a week since we last caught up and thankfully, there's not too much to complain about (well, kind of)! We spend this week's episode talking about a reoccurring argument we've had all week (hello house projects and finances) and also jump into our first birth story (next week will be the home birth!).

    Husband or Gaslighter?!

    Husband or Gaslighter?!

    This week we go full circle: rehashing a fight we had earlier this week (Ethan may or may not be a bonafide gaslighter), reliving our early dating days when Annalee tried (and failed) to make Ethan jealous, and the never ending feeling of mom guilt (vs dad guilt).

    Number One Rule of Fight Club

    Number One Rule of Fight Club

    This week we are back on that struggle bus, so please don't judge. Ethan is recovering (kind of) from being sick and all weekend and Annalee almost had a breakdown on the Par 3, BUT (knock on wood) our 3 year old actually *YOU*KNOW*WHAT* through the night!!!! Don't make us say it out loud. Number one rule of fight club... you don't talk about fight club.

    Did Ethan really just compare vacuuming to being intimate?

    Did Ethan really just compare vacuuming to being intimate?

    This week we dive into a past weekend vacation from hell, the reason Annalee once started sobbing in a Bed Bath and Beyond, and yes, why Ethan said vacuuming is kind of like being intimate. Someone help us. And no, we still aren't sleeping.

    What I Said at 2AM Does Not Count

    What I Said at 2AM Does Not Count

    You know those fights you have at 2AM when the baby isn't sleeping? Well... they don't count. At least that's what we're telling ourselves. This week Annalee and Ethan talk about sleep (no surprise to anyone), Annalee's (thousands of dollars) mistake she made recently for Along the Waves, a fun engineering conspiracy at DIA and why Ethan needs a cup of decaf at 1AM.

Along the waves

Hi there! Just wanted to let you guys know that I look forward to this every week! I think the episodes are EXCELLENT and so relatable. My kids are 2 and 4 so every story, every parenting struggle, I have an almost identical story from my weekend. I was even trying to vacuum out our toy bin while listening and was thinking to myself I think I need a lint roller to get this dog hair out when you told the story but Ethan lint rolling under the bed! So truly you guys are doing an amazing job and don’t ever feel like your complaining too much because that’s exactly what I want to hear because it tells me I am not alone with trying to slow down and enjoy these tough years but also survive because there are great days and there are days that I think to myself it’s not possibly this hard for other people and I feel so alone.

Makes me want to do a podcast with my husband but he would hate it lol

Keep it up! ♥️♥️♥️
