Great Show For Anyone with Kids!

I love listening in on people’s lived experience & given the fact that these two have 5 kids, they’ve got plenty of experience. They also don’t pretend to know it all or act like they have it all together which is so refreshing! Thank you for keeping it real & raising awesome humans!!
