Can a wild toddler become mellow teen? A shy preschooler an outgoing tween? Or do our littles’ personalities predict their big kid identities? As usual, we’re saying it’s a little of both, or somewhere in the middle. In this week’s episode Meagan and Sarah break down our combined eight kids and how they were as babies and toddlers vs. what they’re like today. PLUS Alison Thompson joins Sarah to discuss postpartum recovery. Join us!

Spangler Science Club is a monthly subscription kit for kids ages 7-12 featuring highly interactive experiments and hands-on activities. The monthly STEM-themed challenges are likely to fizz, pop, bubble or erupt into something that is guaranteed to fill the room with oohs & ahhhs. Each box is filled with Steve Spangler’s unique blend of experiences that inspire wonder, boost creativity, enhance problem-solving skills and make learning fun.
We got to try November’s STEMlab kit and Sarah’s 8-year-old was all business as he mixed color solution and made test-tube lava lamps!
