Episode Show Notes

Ep 200: What I’ve Learned, What I’ve Loved, and What’s Next

Welcome to our 200th episode where I’m celebrating YOU. 

When I was trying to decide what to do for this special episode, I turned to some of my favorite people and asked them for ideas. Turns out all the people I asked happened to be a friend of mine in real life AND they have all appeared as a guest on this show. So rather than taking ONE of their ideas and making a whole show of it, I’ve decided to use ALL of their ideas. Why? Because it’s a party…YAY!

  • Mary K Tiller asked me to reflect on where I was in parenting when the show started, where I am now, and what I’ve learned. 
  • Angie Baugman suggested I look back on all the episodes and highlight a few standout moments. 
  • Teresa Whiting asked me to share what is currently on my To-Don’t List.
  • Lisa Lizotte wanted me to share my most embarrassing parenting moment.  
  • Elizabeth Andreyevskiy thought it would be fun to do a giveaway.
