Stagione 1
The Bar Is Up, The Fever Is In
Life hits you, you get back up, and sometimes it knocks you right back down! In this episode, we share the excitement of finishing the new bar setup downstairs, celebrate Karlee’s improving sleep routine, and navigate a sudden sick day call.
One Shoe in the Backseat
This week on Parenting in Progress, we dive into a viral social media hack involving a grandma, driving with one shoe, and extreme backseat reminders. We debate the absurdity of wild parenting hacks before giving an update on Karlee’s sleep routine—from testing the "early pajama" trick to handling hit-or-miss daycare naps and planning the transition out of the sleep sack. Plus, a quick DIY fix for squeaky bedroom doors to master the silent bedtime ninja escape, and a few thoughts as fall weather starts rolling in. Thanks for listening, and don't forget to like, subscribe, and share!
We’re Tired, She’s Tired, Everybody’s Tired
Between back-to-school transitions, daycare adjustments, and a classic 2.5-year sleep regression, everyone in the house is running on fumes. This week, we dive into the endless bedtime battles, 6 AM wake-up calls, toddler standing protests, and our game plan for reclaiming our evenings (and some much-needed sleep).
"Guys, Guys, Watch!"
Finding the right balance between "parent time" and "kid time" isn't always easy, but this weekend gave us a front-row seat to the challenge. Join us as we talk through late nights at the town festival, surviving toddler mood swings, and learning when to push forward versus when to call it a day.
Cheese Fries, Carnivals, and Back-to-School Crying
Summer 2026 is officially winding down, which means two things: county fair food and back-to-school jitters! In this episode of Parenting in Progress, we’re replaying our wild week at the local fair—from riding the carnival rides to Jordynn’s unyielding four-night streak of eating cheese fries (and why we still missed out on the FFA ice cream). Plus, as Jordynn prepares to head back to the classroom, we talk through the bittersweet transition of summer routines ending, early morning wake-up calls returning, and how Karlee is handling heading back to daycare. Grab a snow cone and tune in as we rate our summer a solid 9 out of 10! 🎡🍟✏️
Floaters, Heatwaves, and Anniversary Plans
Between navigating 100-degree days and counting down to our anniversary trip, we are definitely ready for a break. Join us as we chat about mid-year check-ins, the excitement of finally getting a proper bourbon display, and the absolute shock of what we discovered floating in Karlee's bath water.
Church Timeouts and the "Naughty" Word
This week on Parenting in Progress, we're recapping our blistering hot family getaway to Kansas City! Hear all about our adventures at Oceans of Fun and Fritz's, plus the hilariously chaotic reality of boundary-testing toddlers, a three-hour garden watering mishap, and the ultimate parenting test: a timeout in the middle of church.
Hot Dog Ditches & Way Past Bedtimes A 4th of July Recap
We survived the 4th of July! Tune in for a serious debate on hot dog ketchup ditches, a recap of our family's holiday chaos, and our game plan for fixing Karlee's completely wrecked sleep schedule.
Freedom, Sprinklers, and Potty Training Toddlers
Grab a bomb pop and join the chaos! This week on Parenting in Progress, Korey and Jordynn are surviving the midwestern summer with backyard fireworks, automatic water guns, and the absolute reality of potty training a toddler.
The HP Monster: Splash Pads & BYOB (Bring Your Own Butter)
Happy Father’s Day! This week, Korey and Jordynn bring you a packed summer update. We’re officially declaring Karlee an "HP (High Precipitation) Monster" as she fearlessly conquers the splash pad and makes a triumphant, tear-free return to toddler swim lessons. Plus, we detail the highly strategic mission of sneaking real butter into the local theater's summer movie series. Grab your reusable water balloons and dive in!
