Perfect extension of the blog!
This is such a great example of using podcast as extension of blogs. I’ve enjoyed the blog for years now and am so excited to have the podcast now. I listen and learn now when I’m driving alone in the car or during a task at home. This is so beneficial to busy mom life. Heidi has compiled her education, knowledge and experience into the information she shares. It’s a great listen!!!
Helpful
This podcast has been helpful in many ways. I don’t feel so alone in parenting and it has helped me in my quiet time. I have been using ABCJLM with my three kids for two years now and love all the help Heidi gives along the way with that. But this podcast takes it to another level. I feel like I have two new friends helping me become a better parent.
