I’m completely resonating with your 10 things. Every. Single. One.

2 things;

1. I know you’ve said it’s not the time for a podcast right now… but Erin, this (your voiceover) basically is a podcast?! Just add it to Spotify and add and ad for some extra💰

2. How do you think those linen pants do to conceal the mom pooch, okay, the mom apron?

You’re sooo right it’s like a podcast and you got me thinking about it being simple to just upload it to a streamer, hmmmm 🤔 ok the pants! I also have one and these are so forgiving bc they drape straight from the waist but that little waist tie cinches the waist making them so flattering!!!

Yesss! Just don’t overthink it. Plus, if you want to dabble one a month, once a quarter or once a year in a different way (like you and hubs just having a talk, or another mom, or friend or business person) you have a platform to add it too. I vote for a petty rant episodes tooo! 😘

I HATE the “just you wait…”. When I share what I’m going through, just listen or give advice if you went through it. Don’t try to rush my kids’ childhood! I’m allowed to love it and complain or share the hard parts.

Oof, YES, the "just you wait" drives me crazy! It's like I would never say to a Mom who's struggling "try having twins like I did"! You have no idea what people are doing through and what is hard for you may be easy for someone else and vice versa. Let's just all listen and try to be supportive instead of minimizing each other's experiences (even unintentionally).

Very well said! I think it’s something we forget to consider and in trying to relate, can unintentionally diminish.

Love reading your posts every Friday! And I so agree with your comments on people saying "Just wait until..." and LOVE your thoughts on relating/validating rather than that darn saying.
