EPISODE 12 - Summer Survival Kit: What's Saving Our Sanity This Week

This week, we’re unpacking the real summer survival kit — and no, it’s not sunscreen and beach towels (though, those help).

From what’s keeping our kids entertained without melting down by 10 a.m. to the things we’re doing for ourselves so we don’t completely lose it — we’ve got you. Grab your iced coffee, press play, and let’s survive this summer together.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Setup Challenges03:53 Summer Survival Kit: Hacks and Tips09:33 Mom Stories: Choking and Safety15:04 Mom Hacks: Edibles and Relaxation21:09 Creative Play: Engaging Kids at Home26:52 Fun Activities: Summer Bucket Ideas32:54 Navigating Family Life with Night Shifts35:49 Summer Essentials: Products We Love37:40 Sunscreen Hacks for Kids40:15 Beach Day Must-Haves44:05 Mom Fashion Trends for Summer47:06 The Importance of Comfort in Mom Life59:55 Embracing Boredom and Making Memories01:04:16 The Reality of Parenting and Relationships01:12:53 Intro 2.wav   Chapters (00:00:00) - It's Mom O'Clock Somewhere(00:02:31) - The Fourth of July holiday(00:04:33) - Summer Survival Kit(00:07:41) - Mom Hacks: How to Survive Summer(00:09:10) - What I Wish I Knew About Choking(00:12:01) - We Should've Taken An Edible(00:15:01) - The Night They Locked Up Their Parents(00:17:43) - The Mermaid Mom(00:19:36) - Bog Bag: The Survival Kit(00:21:49) - Ice Pops: A Mom Hack(00:22:32) - Baths in the Summer(00:24:56) - How to Wash Your Child's Hair During Summer(00:26:46) - How To Keep A Toddler Excited(00:29:39) - Summer Fun for the Kids(00:32:24) - This Golden Hacking Hack Works For Kids(00:34:13) - How To Get Through A Night With A Working Dad(00:35:38) - Summer Water Bottles(00:37:57) - How To Get Your Child To Drink Water(00:40:28) - The Secret To Using SPF On The Beach(00:42:37) - Ideal iced coffee hack(00:44:26) - How to Plan a Child's Birthday Party(00:45:36) - Town Pool And Chuck E.
