Yes!!!

Love this podcast!! look forward to it each week and the little top up midweek just keeps me going.
Sophie and Lucy are amazing funny ladies who help bring a new perspective to parenting little (and no so little kids- in the form of spouses). Thank you for being so entertaining I can relisten whilst I’m up in middle of the night just have to be careful not to laugh to loud!
