Screen time—it’s a blessing and a challenge. Too much can affect sleep and emotional regulation, so how do we find balance? In this episode, we talk about introducing kids to screens safely with age-appropriate platforms and privacy settings. We also dive into recognizing warning signs of cyberbullying and online predators. Let’s navigate the digital world with confidence! 📱💛

Co-sleeping—one of the most debated parenting topics! In this episode, we break down what co-sleeping is, its pros and cons, and our personal experiences. Erryn still co-sleeps with her 3- and 5-year-olds, even bed-sharing both girls, while Brie transitioned her baby to a crib at 8 weeks. We discuss how every family’s journey is unique and why there’s no shame in choosing what works best—as long as it's safe!

We also dive into the internet’s divisive take on parenting choices and why we're here to empower, not judge. Whether you co-sleep, crib sleep, or do a mix of both, this episode is all about supporting your parenting decisions! 💛

In this real and unfiltered chat, we talk about how life feels extra full right now—taking on more than we probably should, but loving it anyway. We cover fitness, car seats, BLW, biological dentistry, nipple biting (ouch!), and Erryn’s race to finish the floors before her daughter’s 5th birthday. Grab a drink and join us for some much-needed mama time!
