Age doesn’t matter but it’s a big deal that this week GTJBI welcomes its youngest guest ever...because she’s 7-years-old. Harlow Wiles is in second grade and on the weekends you can find her in the kitchen baking everything from pumpkin bread to cupcakes. But her specialty is pancakes—she charges $1 for one pancake and $5 for two; we love a businesswoman—so she stopped by the studio with her Insta-famous Mom, Ilana (@MommyShorts) to give us some pancake tips and dish on her favorite tv show as of right now, The Property Brothers. And she does NOT know what their actual names are, so do NOT ask, okay?Follow “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” On Insta: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpod Harlow’s mom, Ilana, is the best “mommy blogger” I follow, despite my not having kids, and I have been following a lot of MBs for a long time. She has a lot of good intel on how #sponcon works and how she turned a job layoff into a living 10 years ago. She also brought her recommendation for dry shampoo, and it was one I had never even thought about before.Products Mentioned On This Episode:Makeup Forever Professional Powder: https://fave.co/37zGmSlFollow Harlow’s Adventures:Harlow’s Baking Show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCkr44_XEvo@MommyShorts on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mommyshorts/Thanks for listening!Check out blog posts and all of the recommended products by past guests, listeners and Caroline at www.geethanksjustboughtit.com Shop the spreadsheet (updated with new recs all of the time!): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vdIkPMWhV0FlRux3u_DVpuGvakQxkF3EbYT2ZVv45B8/edit#gid=0 and the Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/geethanksjustboughtitFollow along with recs (and share your own via DM) on the “Gee Thanks, Just Bought It!” Instagram: www.instagram.com/geethanksjustboughtitpodWant to get in touch more formally?

Ilana Wiles, better known as Mommy Shorts, is a Top 100 Mom Blogger, author of average Parent Problems, show host and more! After being laid from her position in advertising, specifically TV commercials, Ilana realized she needed digital experience and she decided the best way to get it was to create her own digital experience and Mommy Shorts was born. Although not her original intention, Ilana has since been able to make Mommy Shorts her full time job. In our conversation we discuss her early days as a blogger, working with companies on sponsored content and how her background in advertising helps, going viral with multiple photo challenges, turning down a free trip to Hawaii, pivoting in her content type as her children age and more!

This is Part Two in the three part series of the best parenting fails shared on the podcast so far. I realize that "best" is not really the best word to use when you’re talking about parenting fails, because one parenting fail isn’t better than another one, but it is fun to do “best of” countdowns. So, the takeaway I hope you get from listening to this series isn’t that mistakes are no big deal. It’s simply that we all make mistakes, and that there’s no such thing as a perfect parent.
