My guest this week is the delightful Kassidy Birdsong, a social worker by training who now is at home with her twins. Kassidy shares not only about twin life, but about an amazing toddler music program she began in a senior citizen memory care unit near her home. I do apologize for the echo in this episode. Inexpicably I decided not to plug in my headphones for this interview so it recorded Kassidy with a slight echo delay. But I promise it’s worth it. I had such fun talking with Kassidy. So, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join us as we talk about the magic of two babies at once, learning to let go of expectations and do what’s best for your family, and Kassidy’s creative way to build community and meet the needs of three generations all at one time.

This week I sat down and tried to explain some thoughts I’ve had about motherhood to Lori Lynn. And we recorded it to share with you guys. I hope I was able to explain myself well enough. The gist is that motherhood is like a buffet full of wonderful choices and there’s no way we can eat it all. We have to make choices. We are PRIVILEGED to make choices. And we have to leave some stuff for other people. Anyways, grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join us as we talk about choices in motherhood, the irony of complaining because we have to choose between several wonderful things, and where this whole idea came from in the first place.

Ok Let’s talk about this week’s episode. I’m super excited about this one! First, we are including a new segment called Ask a Doula where Lori Lynn puts on her doula hat and answers common Mom questions for us. And then we get into the main episode.

So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join us as we talk about what that phrase means to us, what we hope it means for you and a bit of history about moms and working life. >>>Take the SURVEY here

So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join us as we talk about the items Melissa buys in bulk to simplify laundry, the two types of lunches she rotates for balance, and the app I downloaded after Melissa shared about how it helps her communicate with her husband.

It’s been a crazy few weeks at my house. And I’m working on plans for the podcast’s future. But part of those plans included spending the weekend moving rooms around in our house so I can have an office. And I’m also dealing with some lingering issues in my back and pelvis that I’ve talked about on the show before. Plus job changes for my husband, crazy kids, homeschooling, you know the drill. So, I decided to dig into our backlist and re-play one of my favorite episodes this week. The Body Image episode was originally aired as Episode 11. It features Rhiannon, my original co-host and I talking about our body image postpartum. I think about this topic a lot. And it’s really really important to me. Body image issues are a MAJOR problem for all women and the time around pregnancy and birth is a common trigger for eating disorders. So grab a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and join us as we revisit this chat about comments that may not be so well-meaning after all, feeling invisible, and why I firmly believe that it’s best to never compliment a woman on her body.
