    Third Baby Debate?!, Jesse McCartney, and Emotional Whiplash

    Third Baby Debate?!, Jesse McCartney, and Emotional Whiplash

    Well it's only been a week since we last recorded but it feels like it's been months! This week we chat about how our week has been which (no shocker herr) includes lots of emotional whiplash and questioning why it feels like it's  so "easy" for everyone else but us. Annalee chats about her busy weekend (a creator meetup AND Jesse McCartney?!) and Ethan shares how he handles his cleaning OCD with messy kids.

    Why are the kids easier when Mom is gone?!

    Why are the kids easier when Mom is gone?!

    Why are the kids so much better and easier when mom is gone? Why do Magnetiles end in tears every single time?! Why don't toddlers just want to SLEEP?! Catch up with us this week as we ponder these questions and a million other random things. Home birth story coming soon... we forgot (shocker).

    Our Birth Story (pt 1)!

    Our Birth Story (pt 1)!

    It's been over a week since we last caught up and thankfully, there's not too much to complain about (well, kind of)! We spend this week's episode talking about a reoccurring argument we've had all week (hello house projects and finances) and also jump into our first birth story (next week will be the home birth!).

    Husband or Gaslighter?!

    Husband or Gaslighter?!

    This week we go full circle: rehashing a fight we had earlier this week (Ethan may or may not be a bonafide gaslighter), reliving our early dating days when Annalee tried (and failed) to make Ethan jealous, and the never ending feeling of mom guilt (vs dad guilt).

    Number One Rule of Fight Club

    Number One Rule of Fight Club

    This week we are back on that struggle bus, so please don't judge. Ethan is recovering (kind of) from being sick and all weekend and Annalee almost had a breakdown on the Par 3, BUT (knock on wood) our 3 year old actually *YOU*KNOW*WHAT* through the night!!!! Don't make us say it out loud. Number one rule of fight club... you don't talk about fight club.

    Did Ethan really just compare vacuuming to being intimate?

    Did Ethan really just compare vacuuming to being intimate?

    This week we dive into a past weekend vacation from hell, the reason Annalee once started sobbing in a Bed Bath and Beyond, and yes, why Ethan said vacuuming is kind of like being intimate. Someone help us. And no, we still aren't sleeping.

Relatable, real, comforting

I love your IG page and I’m loving this podcast. It’s extremely nice to hear that all the toddler things aren’t just happening to us. So no, you’re not alone (the kid(s) really are “better” when mom isn’t there 😵‍💫). Our 2.5 year old lets her emotions fly around just me (mom)! Thank you for being so honest on your social media and in this podcast. Your videos are hilarious and always make me smile. Thank you for being vulnerable even when you think it’s crazy. I love that you’re doing this podcast as a couple. Obsessed with your brand 🌊and have been not so subtly hinting to my husband what I would like for my upcoming birthday 🤭. Keep sharing as much as you feel, you’re supported and appreciated.

Talking with friends

I’m a SAHM with a spouse who works long hours and sometimes feel very alone and isolated at home. Listening to you two talk helps me feel like I have friends over, and helps my day feel less monotonous. Thank you for taking the time to engage with the mothers who need connection!!

Thank you ♥️

Thank you so much for sharing your birth story of your first born. It is SO similar to my daughter’s birth story. I have been struggling with it because I had the same mindset with wanting to go naturally (labor at home, no pitocin, no epidural etc.) but my baby & body decided otherwise. Hearing your positive take on it brought tears to my eyes & reminded me to not be so hard on myself. Sooo looking forward to hearing your second birth story.♥️
