277 | What We Would (and Wouldn’t) Have Done Differently as Parents

from Couple Things with Shawn and Andrew · host Shawn Johnson + Andrew East

In today’s episode we looked back on those early parenting years, the sweet, messy, exhausting days, and shared what we’d do differently and what we definitely wouldn’t change. From little routines to bigger decisions, we open up about the lessons we’ve learned and the moments we’d do exactly the same all over again. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts and stories too!
