This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, happy Monday!! We’re back from the parents-only trip to Jackson Hole!! And we were greeted with the sweetest thing Tate has ever said (“I missed you”).. so naturally we’re never leaving again hahaha
Which kicks off the kids corner: can a 2 year old ACTUALLY miss their parents? Why do kids save their meltdowns for YOU (spoiler: it’s actually a compliment)? And the take we stand by: we don’t FaceTime the kids while we’re away.. it’s for you, not them (discuss). Plus Tate spent the day playing with the 5 year old across the street and we watched her level UP in real time (the sharing song WORKED and we’ve never been prouder), and Rocky started solids on his half birthday!! (And we think he likes food more than his sister??? hahaha)
The trip itself: 72 hours of undivided attention with the neighbors (who shall now be known as Mr. & Mrs. Bears), an activity-based itinerary with one non-negotiable per day, and Alex solving a live influencer brand-trip mystery at lunch like a detective. All of which leads to the real question: what makes a good travel companion? Oh, and the Tetons are named after.…. you’ll have to listen.
In other news: Abercrombie is CRUSHING college apparel, we need to STOP saying “go to market” (and all corporate buzzwords), Harrison is building us a family budgeting app (if you have one you love, comment it!!), we need to see the Elizabeth Holmes documentary, and we design our fence LIVE on the pod.
Then we’re in full holiday mode: an audience question on keeping a Christmas party adults-only, planning OUR Christmas party (black tie.. with bbq??), family Halloween costume ideas, and the debate we need you to settle: is November 1st too early to decorate for Christmas?! (Pls let us know in the comments)
Hope everyone has a great week :-) LOVE YOU GUYS!
