In early motherhood the kitchen can be full chaos: sippy cups, art projects, and endless daily responsibilities. But as kids get older, there may be room for moms to reclaim this space for ourselves. Meagan and Sarah explore the physical changes our kitchens have undergone—decluttering countertops, creating inviting cooking spaces, and personalizing our surroundings. We also dive into the mental and emotional aspects of this journey and the small steps you can take to make it happen – even if you’re not quite done with the sippys.

Today Meagan and Sarah talk about the tricky balance between staying informed as global citizens and not letting it all overwhelm us.

“This too shall pass,” we’re told. But will it? More importantly, DID IT? Today Meagan and Sarah reflect on parenting challenges that once felt monumental, taking time to unpack whether those hard seasons did, in fact, pass, or whether they lingered and shape-shifted into something else.

As kids get older, what it looks like to stay connected to them changes. They may be less likely to share their innermost thoughts or snuggle up next to us on the couch; and by design, they're much more interested in friends, hobbies, and activities happening outside our direct sphere of influence. In today's episode, Meagan and Sarah share how we stay connected to our preteen, teen, and young adult children. From car ride convos and binge-watching shows to family group texts, we’re sharing tips and stories on staying connected.

From the first solid foods we stock for an infant to the shock of discovering that a half-loaf of bread will do for the week because another college-bound teen has flown the nest, there’s a poignant bell curve to feeding a family. Meal planning, shopping, and cooking ebb and flow depending on the stage of parenting we find ourselves in, and today, Meagan and Sarah reflect on the strategies that have served us in different stages, how we remember the years of the expanding family table, and what it’s like being on the downslope of that curve these days.

Great podcast! Been listening for 5+ years now. Love the practical advice of parenting little kids in their earlier episodes (like episodes 1 through...oh...300 or so, they have so much GOOD and unique content!) and am loving the more theoretical advice and content of parenting older kids in their more recent episodes as well as seeing real moms shift from little kid focus to raising big kids and how that affects them as people. Love this show, look forward to it every week.

This is the first podcast I listened to on Castbox! I just listened to episode 299 and it made me feel really good about the way a lot of things are going in my house. Thank you so much! My husband and I have six kids ranging from 10 months to 9 years. Our youngest daughter was born at the start of the pandemic so everything has been a big adjustment.

hi guys! I wanted to share with you some funny facts and a few tie ins to this episode. I am a fairly new listener but I love you guys and your chemistry! my favorite podcast so far! anyways, I have never taken much interest in the Royal family, and as you were all talking about celebrity pregnancy buddies I remembered that Kate and I were pregnant at the same time! Honestly I didn't pay much attention to this, but my husband and I kept hoping that they didn't steal our name - or everyone would think WE copied THEM! my son's due date was May 9 and he ended up being born on April 23, same as Louis! and of course they wait days to announce, so we were in suspense. We named our son Marshall so they do not share a name. another fun fact is that our other name for Marshall was Harrison! little Archie's middle name. I figured you guys would find all of that a little interesting. Have an awesome day!
