Accidental Parents

Here's our promise that we will not be drinking on the podcast every week... BUT we have had a WEEEEEEK. Lennox got hand, foot, & mouth disease. He hasn't been able to go to daycare. Amanda had to reschedule all work tings. And it was Friday when we recorded — so we figured what better way to spend the first day of our weekend than to drink our favorite cocktails, debrief about out week, & play we're not reallly strangers.

You guys. Amanda says "I realized" 25 million times in this episode. Could 100% make a drinking game out of it. Nevertheless, in this episode, we sit down to shoot the shit, share some life updates, talk about our social media cleanse, & discuss the topic of social media's impacts on parenting pressure. Really, we just go all over the place today and that's the vibe.

Ok friends, we're getting into it this week on the podcast. Religion, baptizing our son, holidays, our own personal journey's, & our thoughts on it all. This is a topic we feel like every parent has to navigate & we wanted to shed some light on the gray area, not having it all figured out, & helping you own the journey that you're on. Disclaimer: we love & respect your religion/individual spiritual journey and hope you will respect ours, too. Aka, don't slide in our DM's asking us to join your church. Lol.
