Hey Moms, my name is Amanda. I’m 27, married with 4 kids. 8 year old girl, almost 2 (1 week) year old girl, and 4 month old TWINS, girl and boy. I love your podcast, I listen at work when I don’t have to engage with anyone. I have been listening for almost a month. I haven’t listened to them all but even the ones where I am not interested in the topic, I find I am pleasantly surprised. As I listen I feel like there is so much that speaks to me and I wish I could just chime in to the conversation. I would have loved to audition for your new pregnancy podcast because twins was a whole new monster for me. But I love it. I feel very comfortable with you guys and can identify with both of you. If you ever want to pick my brain about twin pregnancy while it is still fresh in my life, I would be delighted! Thanks!
Amanda, thank you so much for this comment, and for listening. We’re thrilled you’re here!
I loved this podcast. Is there any way I can get a copy of all the questions you both went through on this episode? I would love to ask and answer them with my husband.
Oh gosh, so flattering, Amy! Yes, here they are (all Meagan’s creativity, by the way):
1) What was the clumsiest or dumbest thing you did in 2018? Extra points if it had lasting effects.
2) What was the best purchase you made in 2018? (Doesn’t have to be a product, could be a trip, experience, play, etc)
3) Can you remember a time you laughed really, really hard in the last year?
4) Best movie or TV show you saw in 2018?
5) What’s something you learned about yourself in 2018? Or, could be something you already knew, but solidified in your head when X happened.
6) What product or service made the biggest difference in your life/got used the most over the past year?
7) Positive new habit you developed in 2018?
8) Habit you’d like to change/develop in 2019?
Thanks so much for listening and taking the time to comment!
