    EP8: Pregnancy Pains & Cravings

    Holly and Keith pull back the curtain on the messy, beautiful reality of pregnancy the second time around. From bizarre, can’t-ignore pregnancy smells to intense cravings, Holly shares what life really feels like in the third trimester. Holly also dives into the emotional side: the quiet guilt of carrying one child while raising another, and the question every parent wonders: does our toddler actually understand what’s coming? Meanwhile, Keith opens up about his own experience, revealing the often-overlooked struggles of expectant fathers trying to support it all. It’s an honest conversation about physical discomfort, emotional complexity, and the reminder that there’s no such thing as a “normal” pregnancy, especially when you’re already a parent.

    EP7: What NOT to Buy for Your Baby & Third Trimester Pregnancy Hormones

    Holly and Keith share the five baby items they regret buying (so you don't have to)... and debate whether a really expensive stroller is actually worth the hype. Later, Holly reveals the surprising moment their 19-month-old son sheds a tear watching his favorite TV show. It opens a deeper discussion about how early emotions start to develop and catch parents off guard. Finally, Holly unpacks the hormonal and physical challenges of caring for a toddler while 7-months pregnant. That leads naturally into a broader, honest conversation about how their overnight work schedules impact not just their energy levels, but their marriage and day-to-day parenting dynamic.

    EP6: Don't Watch Alien If You're Pregnant

    Alien is absolutely NOT a pregnancy-friendly movie. That needs to be stated for people like Keith. Holly also reveals the questionable movie marathon Keith introduced her to early in their relationship (yes, Leprechaun made the list). Their own leprechaun is officially a toddler. The Joneses grapple with new challenges: aggression, discipline, and the constant question of “are we handling this the right way?” Keith and Holly share their struggle candidly, hoping other parents feel a little less alone in the process. They also take a moment to share how grateful they are for the community supporting The Jones Family Playbook. OUR LINKS: https://linktr.ee/jonesfamilyplaybook All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2026.

    EP5: The Gender Reveal!

    What starts as a simple gender reveal setup at the kitchen table quickly turns into a heartfelt - and slightly shocking - moment when Keith and Holly, who’s 27-weeks pregnant, discover they’re about to have…***! Holly opens up about mourning the life they had before kids, and Keith reflects on what it means to relearn life while preparing his son for the world. Plus: Will baby number two be easier? Holly gives her honest answer—and Keith drops one final surprise when he reveals he actually agrees with the name Holly loves. OUR LINKS: https://linktr.ee/jonesfamilyplaybook All Rights Reserved.

    EP4: A Pain in the Butt; Scheduling Intimacy

    Holly and Keith are feeling the pain... literally. Holly shares a pregnancy update, including her painful RhoGAM shot, the dreaded glucose test, and why her back (and butt) are officially over it. Meanwhile, Keith discovers that getting back into bicycle riding comes with its own unexpected suffering... mainly terrible bike seats. The laughs keep coming as Holly questions the classic “uphill both ways” parenting phrase, and the two dive into the delirium that comes with raising a toddler while preparing for baby number two. They also get honest about the things no one warns you about in parenting - from the awkward reality of scheduling intimacy to the truth that parenting is rarely a perfect 50/50 split. Through it all, they reflect on why raising kids sometimes feels like an uphill battle… and yes, occasionally a literal pain in the butt. OUR LINKS https://linktr.ee/jonesfamilyplaybook

    EP2: Loss, Love, and Raising Resilient Kids

    From how their friendship slowly turned into love, to navigating grief, demanding careers in news, and the realities of raising a child together, Holly and Keith share the moments that shaped their relationship. They talk about accountability, why the right partner believes in you even when you don’t, and how moms and dads often approach parenting very differently (yes, this includes the dangers of wandering Marshall’s and Home Depot with Dad). Plus, a debate: weekly date nights or one epic vacation? And stick around for a fun round of This or That. OUR LINKS: https://linktr.ee/jonesfamilyplaybook All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2026.

    EP1: We've Been Keeping a Secret!

    BREAKING NEWS! Holly and Keith reveal they’re expecting baby number TWO... meaning life is about to get very real with two kids under two. The married couple shares honest advice for new and expecting parents, reflects on Holly’s unforgettable (and very painful) birth experience, and relives the emotional moment their son was born. Keith also opens up about the daily challenge of balancing a demanding broadcasting career with being the present, hands-on dad and husband he wants to be, especially during the short window when your kids think you’re their whole world. It’s funny, emotional, and real parenting talk from the front lines of family life. OUR LINKS: https://linktr.ee/jonesfamilyplaybook All Rights Reserved. Copyright 2026.
