We have a brand-new segment on this week’s ep of the BFP podcast! (Ep 335)

We call it “Village People,” and it’s all about creating our parenting village by chatting with other parents, hearing their stories and getting a window into the highs, lows and funnies of their parenting journey.

Our first guest is Heather Sundell, a writer, storyteller and mom of two young children!

We’ve known Heather for a long time, since before we all had kids, so it was fun to talk with her about how her life has changed since becoming a mom, including a very big life decision she made when she was 8-months pregnant.

Included in this gallery are photos of us with Heather at the Rage Room (which we talked about in episode 211), and Heather with baby Auggie!

Follow Heather and be sure to subscribe to her newsletter!

Are you pregnant or trying to conceive? Then you must listen to this week’s episode of the BFP podcast (ep. 304)!

We interview Dr. Nicole Rankins about how to plan for an empowered birth experience. She says most of us make birth plans the wrong way, but she has amazing advice for how to do it right.

She has been a board-certified, practicing OBGYN for more than 20 years, and she shares so much of her knowledge on this episode.

After you listen, be sure to follow her on Instagram at and subscribe to her podcast “All About Pregnancy & Birth.”

Thank you, Dr. Nicole, for being on our show!

In this week’s episode (ep. 298), we talk about the challenges and benefits of letting kids go at their own pace. From Cece finding her independence on the softball field to Auggie finding his interest in writing, we are doing what we can to support our kiddos as they develop at their own speed.

In what areas are you letting your little ones go at their own pace?

As mentioned in the episode, here is Cece in her softball getup after having felt very nervous about her first game of the season.

3-year-old alert! 🥳 On this week’s episode (ep. 296), Laura reports on Sebastian’s third birthday and how he is officially out of the toddler phase. She also talks about how he’s showing a keen interest in photography, so swipe to see the photos he took when Laura and Corey visited his classroom on his birthday.

Do your kiddos ever use your phone to take photos? What do they take pictures of?

Us and our kiddos at a taco cantina! We managed to get them to stop playing corn hole and hide and seek long enough to snap a selfie, even if they weren’t thrilled about it. 😂 We talk about this get together and so much more in this week’s episode (ep. 294). In the special segment “What I Googled This Week,” we dive into the topics of phubbing, anosmia, ghosts and more! Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Does your kiddo ever help out in the kitchen? In this week’s episode (ep. 293), Shanna is surprised when her 5-year-old showed great enthusiasm for helping to make dinner. Cece loved learning how to peel and chop carrots, boil noodles and heat up meatballs in the microwave. It was a fun experience to teach her how to do all these new things. Here she is with the meal she helped make. 😊🥕🍝

We share other Mom Wins in the episode, including teaching an important lesson about body boundaries, saving an umbrella disaster and more!

Also on this episode, we have our special segment “Internet Insanity,” where we share the wild and wacky parenting-related content we’ve found online recently, including a story of cheerleading sabotage involving deepfake videos and Laura’s hilarious attempt to use AI to design her family’s holiday cards.

CeCe’s birthday! How is this once-squishy lil baby FIVE years old already?!? In this week’s episode (ep 288), Shanna talks about having a Bluey-themed birthday bash at an indoor playground for her youngest daughter’s bday. Having a five-year-old feels like such a huge shift out of young childhood, away from the snuggly, adorable toddler stuff, and toward the independent big-kid stuff. Ah, the journey of parenting!

Also on the episode, Laura reports on a trip to Legoland, and we confess some very funny Never Have I Evers! Listen wherever you get your podcasts!
