Is It Just Us.. or are Days Out/Holidays Kinda Stressful?
We love the idea of them.. family memories, fresh air, new experiences, but the reality? Packing up half the house, refereeing sibling squabbles in the back seat, and making sure everyone else has a great time! Of course we know we’re lucky to be able to do these things, and we are grateful… but that doesn’t mean it’s not a lot. Sometimes the “fun” comes with meltdowns (theirs and ours). In this episode we’re unpacking why these supposedly joyful outings can feel so overwhelming, and giving ourselves permission to laugh, vent, and admit: maybe it’s not just us.We’re thrilled to welcome MimiToys as the newest sponsor of our podcast! 🎉MimiToys offers an incredible range of developmental toys and puppets, crafted with over 20 years of passion for play and children’s well-being.
