The Real Price of Kids - Pt 2
Some kids lose teeth, some kids learn what juice box “wings” are, and some birthdays turn into full-on family adventures. But the real conversation here is bigger than the little kid milestones—Sarah and Grace get into the messy, fascinating question of how much pressure is too much when you're raising capable kids. They swap hilarious and heartfelt family updates before discussing Amy Chua’s Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and the controversial idea that kids may not enjoy things until they’re good at them. Together, they explore high expectations, effort, talent, persistence, quitting activities, and the line between loving discipline and too much pressure. Honest, funny, and thought-provoking, this episode is perfect for parents navigating the daily balance between compassion and expectations.

At Home Date Ideas
Grace spent some time in the water this past week and got to enjoy holding her scrumptious, sleeping baby boy at the pool, as well as go on a paddle board date with her husband. The only downside was the sunburn she got on her legs while paddle boarding. While Grace does regret not lathering up on the sunscreen, she most definitely does not regret getting some quality time with her husband. Sarah is also excited about the one-on-one time her children have gotten individually recently both her and her husband separately as well as together.

Surviving Picky Eating & Children's Multivitamins
Grace had a solid week with her brother coming into town and her and her oldest harvesting their very first zucchini of the season. They immediately made zucchini muffins to share with their friends. Sarah may have been tempted more times than she wants to admit by some chocolate chip cookies she made - to the extent of making herself feel like a bad mom when she - may have - eaten a cookie promised to her oldest. But don’t worry, Nora was the real winner when she got a fresh baked cookie out of the oven. Then Grace had quite the scare this week - that almost caused her to call 911 - when her husband didn’t return from his backpacking trip when she was expecting. Thankfully, it was just a big miscommunication. This week’s Book Club for 1 novel is a 4/5 stars read according to Grace, which says a lot considering that’s basically the highest rating she ever gives. Then Grace and Sarah dive into some of the things they’ve learned to best support and encourage their children with eating and trying new foods, as well as some hacks to help your kids get the nutrients that they need. Then if you feel similarly to Grace and Sarah - that your children may not have the most well-balanced diet - be sure to tune in as Sarah and Grace share what they’ve learned about children's multivitamins and their experiences with a few different brands. Sarah shares a shredded BBQ chicken recipe that would be great for someone who likes to go a little more light on the BBQ sauce but also enjoys a good slider. And Grace shares the viral Tik Tok marry me chicken that is sure to impress when hosting. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!
