    102. Fall Intentions and Why It's Not Too Late with Margaret Mason Tate

    Remember those New Year's resolutions you made back in January? The ones you were definitely going to stick to this year? Well, it's fall, and if you've forgotten about them, abandoned them, or are feeling like a failure because you haven't followed through, Margaret and I have some thoughts.        In this episode, Margaret Mason Tate is back to talk about fall intentions, unfinished goals, and why we're so hard on ourselves when things don't go according to plan. We're talking about my adventures in Pilates, my still-unfulfilled dream of making infused butters, and why January is honestly a weird time to start a new year anyway. We also get into why choosing a boring goal might actually be a great idea, and why sometimes the best intention is to do less.       If you started the year with big plans and haven't quite gotten around to them, this episode is for you. Margaret and I are talking about how to let go of the shame around unfinished goals, figure out what you still want, and get moving without making the whole thing a referendum on your worth as a person. Because it's not too late to start again, change your mind, or just make some really delicious butter.             Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://happyfamilyafter.com/102        Want to join the fun and never miss an episode?

    101. Balance Bikes (And Why I Hate Training Wheels)

    Have you ever seen a tiny child cruising around on a bike with no pedals and wondered what on earth is happening? In this episode, I'm talking about balance bikes, why they are fantastic, and why training wheels are officially on my list of parenting things I hate.       Training wheels may seem like the classic way to teach a kid to ride a bike, but I'm making the case for doing things differently. Balance bikes help kids build the skills that actually matter first, while training wheels can create habits that have to be unlearned later. And if you're thinking, "But Devon, I learned on training wheels," do not worry. I have thoughts about that too.       I'm breaking down what balance bikes are, how they work, why they can make bike riding feel more natural for kids, and what to consider if buying both a balance bike and a pedal bike feels like too much. This episode will help you rethink the classic training-wheels approach and see why a tiny bike with no pedals might be exactly what your kid needs.          Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://happyfamilyafter.com/101        Want to join the fun and never miss an episode?

    100. Baby Sleep, Baby Clothes, & Baby Tips, Oh My! A BTS 100th Episode Celebration

    Parenthood Prep has hit 100 episodes, and naturally, Margaret and I are celebrating the only way that makes sense: with birthday presents, stickers, baby outfit opinions, Australian listener shoutouts, and a very serious brainstorm about "top 100" babies, baby products, baby outfits, and whatever else our brains decide belongs on the list.          In this episode, Margaret and I sit down for a BTS 100th episode planning session that turns into a very on-brand mix of baby sleep, baby clothes, favorite babies, podcast consistency, and why newborns in real clothes look like "putting a cat in pants." We also get into a solid clearance sale baby clothes strategy, family Christmas pajamas, Australia's baby sleep schools, and the kind of sleep and baby-care tangents that only happen when we are technically supposed to be planning something.       Most of all, this episode is a celebration of making it to 100 episodes. 100 episodes of Parenthood Prep are officially out in the world, and that is a big deal.          Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://happyfamilyafter.com/100        Want to join the fun and never miss an episode?

    98. How to Borrow a Baby

    Do you want your niece, grandbaby, friend's baby, or favorite tiny human to come stay with you, but their parents are not exactly throwing the diaper bag in your direction?       In this episode, I'm talking to the grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends, and beloved baby-adjacent adults who want more time with the baby but need to understand what makes parents feel safe enough to say yes. Because borrowing a baby is not just about loving them, squeezing them, and buying them one adorable outfit too many. Parents need to know their baby will be safe, fed, rested, supervised, and returned without a suitcase full of chaos and laundry.       I'm walking you through how to become the person parents happily trust with their kiddo, from learning the car seat and safe sleep rules to sticking to the baby's schedule, respecting their preferences, handling pickups and drop-offs, and not rolling your eyes when they remind you about choking hazards for the 400th time. If you want more baby time, this episode will help you become the kind of person parents are excited to hand the baby to again and again.      Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://happyfamilyafter.com/98        Want to join the fun and never miss an episode?
