This episode moves between pride and pressure—watching my kids bond, correcting behaviors that won’t quit, and appreciating the small wins. From Texas storms and home-cooked meals to unfiltered kid commentary, trending shows, current events, and podcast growth, it’s an honest look at parenting, perspective, and progress. And to be honest, I in fact did NOT take a nap lmao.

(A little late with the upload haha...LIFE...OH and jokes on me because....the kids are out of school ANOTHER day lmao)

This episode is a real-life check-in full of laughs, honesty, and a little organized chaos. From pregnancy pains like lightning crotch and lower back struggles to realizing my delivery date is creeping up with nothing ready (oops 😅), I’m sharing it all.

We talk daily reading wins (just finished Secrets Never Told), basketball season starting for my youngest, and the positive growth I’m seeing in my oldest that’s making me pause and smile. Add in ADHD without meds, planners saving my sanity, adult screen-time limits, FaceTiming my best friend, and kids accidentally running into wild podcast conversations and you’ve got a very real episode.

Plus: southern weather mood swings, constant school days off, and why I feel like a whole new person on the days I actually move my body.

Life doesn’t slow down just because you’re pregnant and this episode proves it. From awkward moments of getting hit on with a baby bump, to navigating the school system and planning my baby girl’s shower, I’m sharing what life really looks like right now.

We talk dad jokes, intentional to-do lists, the Verizon outage that felt straight out of a movie, kid-free dinner dates, being still versus being present, and how I’m preparing my kids for the real world.
