Past our Bedtime

Taylee and Braydon

We're Taylee and Braydon, two young parents who should probably be sleeping, but instead we're up past our bedtime chatting about life. Between surviving on caffeine and baby giggles, we dive into the ups and downs of raising a kid, marriage, and all the random tangents that come with late-night conversations. Sometimes it's messy, sometimes it's heartfelt, but it's always real. So grab a blanket, get comfy and join us in the quiet hour where parenthood and real life meet laughter, honesty and a little bit of chaos.

    Past Our Bedtime Ep 11: Baby’s First Christmas, Mom Anxiety & Holiday Chaos

    In this episode, we recap a wild holiday stretch: Thanksgiving races, awkward porta-potty encounters, mom safety scares at the grocery store, and gearing up for baby’s first Christmas. We also dive into Christmas traditions, gifts for babies, Santa debates, budgets, and why Black Friday just isn’t what it used to be. 🎧 In this episode we chat about: • Thanksgiving recap: half marathon vs. 10K, running “influencer pace,” and a very unfortunate porta-potty moment • Post-race soreness, long drives, family time, and ALL the Thanksgiving food • Why old-school Black Friday was elite (and why today’s version is boring) • Kicking off Christmas: snow, advent calendars, Lift-mas, and baking season • A grocery store cart incident + mom anxiety about safety in parking lots • Baby formula recall fears and why “tried-and-true” brands feel safer • Our favorite childhood Christmas traditions & in-law differences • Waking kids up at 4 a.m. vs. actually sleeping in on Christmas morning • Gifts for babies: are they “pointless” or still magical? • Santa rules, fairness for kids, and setting realistic Christmas budgets 👶 For the parents: If you’re navigating baby’s first Christmas, feeling anxious in public with your kids, or just trying to keep the holidays fun without going broke, this episode is super relatable. We’re talking real-life parenting, not Pinterest-perfect. 💬 Join the conversation: Have a funny Black Friday story, a Christmas tradition we need to steal, or a hot take on Santa + gift budgets?
