The 3 AM Wake-Up, Trampoline Troubles, and Packing Panic

About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges of toddler sleep regressions, the complications of a new trampoline, and the chaos of packing for a family road trip.

In this episode, we're officially running on fumes. We dive into the exhaustion of toddler sleep regressions after surviving a brutal 3:15 AM wake-up call from Karlee, and debate the newest addition to our backyard—a trampoline that's already complicating the lawn mowing routine. We also share our pre-vacation scramble as we gear up for our family road trip to South Dakota, highlighting our vastly different packing styles and why throwing items in a bag at the last minute is a guaranteed recipe for forgotten clothes.
