Riding Along the Waves was created by Annalee in hopes of reminding parents everywhere that they are never truly alone in this beautiful, terrifying, magical, wonderful journey. Join Annalee and her husband, Ethan, each week as they chat about the ups and downs of parenting and how they are managing to stay afloat and find joy among the chaos!  "Whether its 3AM and you feel like you're the only one awake in the entire world, or you feel your heart light on fire watching your baby's first steps, there is something so calming and comforting knowing there is someone, somewhere going through the same thing as you.  Sometimes being a parent feels like you’ve just been tossed into the ocean. In the gentle swells, we find solace, and in the mighty storms, we discover our strength. In the end, all we can do is let go and let the tide carry us along the waves."

Annalee and Ethan

    Welcome back to Riding Along the Waves — the parenting and marriage podcast where we talk about everything, nothing, and all the chaos in between. This week, we're diving into a classic married couple debate: who's really responsible for lawn care? We also recap our spring break trip to Scottsdale with the kids — including some unexpected highlights, a few parenting fails, and why traveling as a family is equal parts magical and exhausting. As always, we sprinkle in plenty of random conversations about marriage, parenting wins and fails, everyday life, and the moments that make us laugh (or cry).Whether you're folding laundry, hiding in the pantry, or finally on a solo Target run, we hope this episode feels like catching up with friends who get it.Thanks for listening!

    This week we dive into a past weekend vacation from hell, the reason Annalee once started sobbing in a Bed Bath and Beyond, and yes, why Ethan said vacuuming is kind of like being intimate. Someone help us. And no, we still aren't sleeping. Thanks for listening!

    You know those fights you have at 2AM when the baby isn't sleeping? Well... they don't count. At least that's what we're telling ourselves. This week Annalee and Ethan talk about sleep (no surprise to anyone), Annalee's (thousands of dollars) mistake she made recently for Along the Waves, a fun engineering conspiracy at DIA and why Ethan needs a cup of decaf at 1AM. Thanks for listening!

    Well, so much for redemptive! This week Annalee and Ethan discuss how terrible our weekend was, truly. There were pockets of joy but overall most of the weekend was spent  flipping each other off and then apologizing afterwards, like true soul mates do. Thanks for listening!

    Hi! Welcome to Riding Along the Waves, where Annalee and Ethan chat about the ups and downs of parenting, relationships, life, and everything in between. We had big plans to make this an intro/background episode but both our brains were a little too fried from lack of sleep (our two year old loves to party at 1am). Instead, we chat about how the last week has been, Ethan's addiction to vacuums, our family vacation, and an 8 HOUR plane ride with two small kids. Thanks for listening!
