These are quarterly episodes where I take the questions y’all shared with me on Instagram and answer them here. Today, we’re talking about resetting after a weekend away, using patios more, deciding what wellness trends to try, meal planning with different family preferences, solo parenting while a partner is away, morning sickness while parenting two other kids, setting new expectations around holidays and birthdays, and keeping kids entertained while working from home.
