    Home school, formula scandal & the “decline” of alcohol

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we're looking deeper into schooling (you guys had so much good feedback last week). We talk about the possibility of starting an at-home daycare (s/o Maria), how we're thinking about community and curriculum, and what our long-term plan could look like if we decide to do school this way. But before that, we're recapping Mother's Day (spoiler alert: Harrison rated his efforts a 6.5/10 and I got food poisoning lol), debating whether you ACTUALLY need to fasten your seatbelt during turbulence, and breaking down the scary moment we had to use the CPR/choking class we took before Tate was born. We came across some wild things this week in Things We DMed Each Other… including a massive baby formula scandal from the '70s (??) and the ongoing conversation around the “decline” of alcohol (honestly, it feels like you can make data say whatever you want.)

    HELLO FROM MIAMI!!! We actually recorded a podcast (UNRELEASED) from here right when we started dating and so we were feeling NOSTALGIC and wanted to do a little relationship Q&A.  We dive into some of YOUR questions about our relationship! From navigating parenting style differences to deciding when the right time is for another kid, we're getting personal and answering your burning questions. We kick things off with a weekly house update—spoiler alert, it involves cameras, alarms, and doorbells (read: you now need security clearances to enter our house lol). Then, we get into how we were so confident in our decision to have a kid after knowing each other for such a short time, and whether we've ever second-guessed our decision.  And of course, we touch on the big question: Are we ready for baby #2? Plus, does marriage feel more or less important now that we've got the house and baby? As always, we wrap up with some fun Things We DMed Each Other—including new parents getting reimbursed $36,000 for childcare and why we think DoorDash's “DoorDad” is a game-changer. Also apparently we need to stop saying “THANK YOU” to ChatGPT?!  LOVE YOU GUYS!  (A letter from the editor (lol) - we are SORRY for the atrocious video quality - we had some major issues this week with our files from the studio.. xoxo Jules & P)  Timestamps:  00:00:00 Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast 00:03:55 Weekly house update: Cameras, alarms & doorbells (oh my lol) 00:06:24 Flight attendants don't get paid for layovers?! 00:12:00 Happy Mother's Day!!! 00:15:10 Q&A: How were we so confident in our decision to have a kid when we knew each other for such a short time? 00:20:00 Q&A: Did we ever question our decision to have a child so quickly? 00:21:55 Q&A: Have there been any parenting style disagreements yet? 00:26:20 Q&A: Who handles the planning of activities & social things? 00:28:05 Q&A: How do we split the workload? 00:33:01 Q&A: Did Harrison have any hesitation dating Alex so soon after divorce? 00:33:52 Q&A: How are we deciding when we are ready for baby #2?  00:37:48 Q&A: Does marriage seem more or less important now that we have our house and baby? 00:41:13 Q&A: We've mentioned we have different communication styles.

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — I left Tate overnight for the first time ever (!!!) and came home to a house that was fully intact (and OURS — we finally ACTUALLY closed on the house!!!). We talk about how it felt (I have so many emotions now that I'm a mom???), what Harrison did on his weekend with Tate (“dad-ing,” not babysitting), and what he learned. Plus — the power went out across Spain and Portugal (?? but we actually think it sounds kind of fun), we share how we picked Tate's name (neither of us actually remembers, but apparently tater tots were involved??), and get into why some kids' shows are actually… not good (*cough cough* Cocomelon *cough cough*). Throw in a Mother's Day surprise, an idea for Stagecoach next year, and some unwanted bug exposure (GRADUAL, per Harrison) — it's a good one. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

    This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're diving into a full-on NEW HOUSE Q&A— and answering everything you guys have been asking (s/o to everyone that asked questions on TikTok!!! We are having so much fun sharing this journey with you guys). We get into how we made the decision to buy, what it was like navigating the process so fast (literally and figuratively - like we have only been dating 1.5 years!!), and exactly how we're splitting the cost (spoiler: it's not as simple as 50/50.) We're also talking long-term plans, if we'll stay in this house forever, and what we've learned so far from doing it all together. Before we get into that, we're covering the usual IRL updates — are we too old to be “cool”? Was missing the Easter egg hunt a parenting fail? And what exactly does your girlfriend mean when she says she's “good with anything” for dinner? In Things We DMed Each Other: Revolve's in legal hot water and apparently reading books out loud to your partner is the new love language. LOVE YOU GUYS!

And in between our house updates: We're officially sleeping again (!!) thanks to the 5-10-15 method, baby exercises (??), and ChatGPT.

And in Things We DMed Each Other, we talk about the $3800 baby carrier that Artipoppe just dropped (and why we know our $30 Amazon one is better) + a cute family moment and some fun brand activations at Coachella.

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're talking about what it really means to have good neighbors—because as you guys put it, “you can renovate a house, but you can't buy good neighbors.” We start with some Year 1 milestone updates (why am I irrationally sad?!), from moving Tate into her own room to starting solids (Harrison has officially been named Chief Solids Officer). Plus, we recap our first annual neighborhood block party—a new tradition in the making! Next, we break down what today's ‘village' to raise a child actually looks like—and specifically, how we've built ours. Then, we're diving into communication in relationships (and in general!)—the good, the bad, and why ‘clean' means something completely different to both of us. In Things We DMed Each Other, we have to talk about Frida's breast milk-flavored ice cream (yes, really—it's not an April Fools' joke).

In today's episode, Harrison and I are revisiting the “money talk” from episode 10 of Just Alex (RIP, but here's the link: https://youtu.be/8CUxKXQNztk) and breaking down how our financial plans have changed post-baby. We're diving into our joint finances (what we said we were gonna do, but spoiler alert: didn't), the costs of childcare, and how we're setting up a college fund for Tate. We also chat about everything from the costs of parenthood we didn't expect, to what's been surprisingly expensive, and other ways we're planning for the future (are we putting the baby on payroll???). Plus, as always - we've got a few laughs along the way – including what I almost threw at Harrison, things we DMed eachother, and an even deeper dive into the scam that is girl scout cookies (ALL ALLEGED). As always, we love sharing our experiences and just need to make the disclaimer: THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE!!!

Really gonna keep this low-key - this is the same show you guys know (and love?) - we just finally got around to that rebrand we've been promising.

On THIS WEEK's episode - we get an update from Harrison on attending his first bachelor party as a dad. My first weekend alone with the babe had me thinking a lot about parental identity shift & grieving the pre-baby life, so we dive deep into this and my takeaways from the weekend (also just need to say - S/O TO SINGLE MOMS… you guys are super heroes). Next we're laughing at the things we DMed eachother - backseat driving and having two babies at once (not twins??). Harrison DOESN'T laugh at the drunk confession I saw on IG that was hilarious. And we finish out the episode with a very valid questions: Where does your Girl Scout cookie money actually go?! One last thing, if you're new here!!! If you came here for parenting advice - definitely the wrong podcast… But we try our best to share our experiences - this week y'all asked about when you should/when will we move the baby out of the bedroom (answer: we don't know but we'll obviously keep you updated).

    Welcome back to Just Alex! In today's episode, we're talking about fertility after giving birth and trying for baby #2. This week we learned we need to be managing screen time for our 3-month-old (WHO KNEW?!). And I'm dealing with some serious nanny guilt (plus, guilt if I'm not being productive enough while the nanny is here (make it make sense!!!!)). We also talk betting markets again (I'm still so confused that you can bet on ANYTHING) - the TikTok ban, the U.S. possibly buying Greenland, and you can finally bet on the U.S. annexing Canada.

Also - not really a rule - but are parents swearing in front of their kids in 2024?! Then, it's all about newborn travel: I'm stressed about flying with our baby (maybe because we've done it once before) while Harrison's surprisingly chill about it (also maybe because we've done it once before).

As a business owner, mom, and NYC to Austin transplant, I knew there'd be a ton I could learn from Sarah, and she certainly didn't disappoint. Sarah opens up about her path from launching Y7 as a pop-up to transforming it into a renowned yoga community focused on inner growth and self-acceptance. She talks into Y7's mirror-free philosophy, explaining how it helps individuals break free from the comparison trap. This mindset extends beyond yoga into Sarah's experiences in motherhood, entrepreneurship, and overcoming personal challenges like two miscarriages.
