What’s Great (And Less-Great) About Our Eight: Episode 152



Part of the fun of having so many kids between us is that we never run out of things to talk about! Join Meagan and Sarah for a quick look at what each of our eight kids is going through these days–this lets cover the phases from preschool through teen in a way that’s personal, funny, and encouraging.

    Just had to share that I showed the flossing video to my kids a few days ago! They were talking about the boys at school doing and I said wait until you see this kid! Owen is amazing at it!!

    I listen all the time and love your podcast. Today I feel compelled to comment that my youngest, Reid, is 6 and also currently obsessing over paper airplanes! Folding them is not my forte which often leads to a frustrated mama and boy.
