Todd opens up about how he and his wife navigated infertility, the emotional ups and downs of IUI, and the shock of finding out they were expecting triplets. The two fathers dive deep into conversations about high-risk pregnancies, NICU experiences, building trust with doctors, and what life looks like after the toddler years.

  3. The Invisible Work of Parenting

    The Invisible Work of Parenting

    Parenting is a lot of work, and it’s not something that can always be documented on social media (probably for the best). Between the noise, the mess, and the moments that never make it to the camera roll, there’s a whole side of family life that most people never see. Even our friends and family only catch small glimpses of what our days actually look like — the laughter, the chaos, and the constant juggling act of raising five kids under five. In this week’s episode, I wanted to slow things down and give you a small peek into our world — what a typical day looks like for us, how we try to keep things running smoothly, and how we’re learning to find balance in all of it. This isn’t a “how-to” or a perfect routine, it’s just our real life — what mornings sound like, what evenings feel like, and everything in between. Eventually, I’ll share more about how we handle the different stages each of our kids are in, but for now, this is a quick rundown of what an average day in the Hernandez house really looks like. If you’re a parent listening, I’d love to hear what your routine looks like too. How do you balance the chaos, the schedules, and the emotions that come with raising little ones?
