Can friendships survive kids?! (+ supporting your partner & living a more spontaneous life)
Happy Thursday! We’re back with another episode, and this one’s a fun one. Getting ahead of this now - I’m SORRY for the scream at the beginning (but I know you guys understand 🕷️🕷️). First up—Harrison just launched a new product (not an ad #NoFreeAds). Then, we get into our family’s secret languages (do you have one??), an update on Tate (she’s 6 months old!!! is this the end of pumping?), and the TL;DR of the house situation is that there’s no update and we’re like 30 days out. We’re also talking about friendship after kids—does having a baby mean losing friends? Does your FRIENDS having babies mean losing friends? And how can you be a supportive friend when your bestie becomes a parent? Plus a reminder to pay attention to how your friends talk about their partners!!! A sweet dad-to-be calls in and we share our #1 tips for prepping for baby. And, of course, we’re ending with the usual chaos—Fyre Festival 2 is somehow happening (allegedly), and we have some (alleged) thoughts. We LOVE YOU GUYS!!
