Kindred Conversations

Submission Episode! We requested all of your best household hacks that make life a little easier with little kids. So many tips were about where you keep and how you maintain shoes and socks 🤣.

It can be tempting to stay inside all day in a “safe space” for your children. But, we are both believers that getting out of the house is important for your mental health and provides valuable learning opportunities for your children. In this episode we talk all about our favorite outings with kids, family centric vs. kid centric outings, and how we like to prepare for said outings. I don’t know why the only examples of adult outings I could come up with were a hair appointment and OBGYN visit but let it serve that I meant [insert adult outing here].

Today's episode is a chattier conversation talking through the ways we recognize and accept the duality in motherhood. Motherhood is so hard and so good; it is often lonely yet hard to find time for yourself; you can feel out of control and also be the one making all the decisions... it is paradoxical in it's nature. We hope you find this episode as therapeutic as it was for us to talk through! If you enjoyed this episode of Kindred Conversations, please rate and review us on Apple podcasts or Spotify!

Surviving winter is a challenge for all of us- especially when you are simultaneously charged with caring for young kids who have seemingly endless amounts of energy and a great need for the open outdoors. So, we created this episode as a guide to surviving winter with little kids. We talk about winter clothing, activities, mindsets, and outings all with the central purpose of keeping both you and your young ones sane and happy through the cold months.

There are often phases through these early childhood years that, although wonderful, can also be defined as surviving. These periods of survival are not phases of achieving all of your lofty goals... they are phases of slowing and growing. In today's episode we talk about our priorities and how we measure our successes when we are in these seasons of survival.

This episode was simultaneously the pump up and the permission to go simple this holiday season that I was needing! Isabelle has a true gift for making her vision tangible and beautiful for everyone in her life to enjoy. I couldn't be more excited to share this episode with you and her insight into making your home feel extra cozy throughout this season and beyond!
