Become a Friend of the Show! – join our Patreon community Today we continue our Looking Back series with reflections and shared laughs over our parenting experience so far. We became parents within two years of each other and while being next door neighbors. And much of it has been chronicled on this podcast! We talk about how we each became parents, revisit the challenges and cuteness of toddler years (which is not much of a stretch for Kelsey), compare notes on having same-gender siblings very close in age, and consider what we've learned about ourselves along the way. We'd love for you to join us; meet us out on the driveway!
