Ho Ho Ho it's our Christmas Special 2024! This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat about the challenges at Christmas when you have a baby, toddler, or pre-schooler. Discussing everything from chocolates, Christmas films, presents, Father Christmas, traditions, Church, the Nativity story and more. We have a good laugh, have some serious conversation about faith, but also full of colds - so apologies for the coughs & sniffles! [I've tried to edit most out!]

Disclaimer: we do go into some faith conversation in this episode. If that's not your thing, then that's absolutely fine. There are time codes and you can jump ahead. Of course, it's just our perspective as Christians with a very liberal faith. We're not particularly religious or church-y. We're not particularly biblical or literal with a lot of that stuff. And we're not here to tell you what to believe! You do you.

This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat about  their feeding journey, the positives and the challenges - now having experience with our two daughters of all possible options: breastfeeding, formula, expressing milk, bottle feeding, and mixed feeding!

How are we coping with our second baby? This is the one where Emma and Elliot share some updates on how things are going two weeks into having a new baby and how our 3 year old is managing the transition. Full of funny stories, parenting fails, and general ramblings interrupted now and then by a crying newborn! Topics include: birth overview, becoming a big sister, sleep, Emma's recovery, things that are going well and things that aren't!

How did we meet? How has our relationship changed since having children? This is the one where Emma and Elliot share some of their joint story and have lots of laughs looking back and reminiscing about the past, before we start on this next stage of our parenting journey with a new baby and toddler. We chat about what we first thought of each other, dating, awkward conversations, university, getting engaged, our lockdown wedding, and the strains on our relationship once we had a daughter. Funny arguments we had, the challenges to romance, communicating well and much more.

Making a home your own when you have a baby or toddler? This is the one where Emma and Elliot chat about their story, renting experience, and struggles with buying a house. Not a topic directly about parenting, but something that is affecting us right now (with positives and challenges) - and whether it's more unique to us, or very commonplace - either way, we thought it might be an interesting discussion starter... We did get a bit distracted chatting away about our struggles personally, and didn't end up covering much about the context of renting/buying with children! But I hope you enjoy learning more about us in the process. Are you renting, or have you ever rented, while raising little ones? Let us know your thoughts!
