Best of Both Worlds podcast: Long weekends with little kids survival guide

Best of Both Worlds podcast: Long weekends with little kids survival guide

People often speak of long weekends as “relaxing.” But if you have little kids, you know that they are often anything but!

In this week’s episode of Best of Both Worlds, Sarah and I provide a guide for surviving and possibly enjoying long weekends (like Labor Day weekend coming up soon). From making plans (and getting out of the house) to trading off, to having something to look forward to, there are lots of ways to make the most of this time, and maybe even have some fun too.

Please give the episode a listen! In the Q&A we address the topic of whether to get a minivan when kid #3 is on the way.

If you’d like to join a community that discusses these and other topics related to work and life, please consider joining our Patreon community. Currently we’ve been talking about how couples manage their finances (including joint vs. separate accounts, and expense tracking/budgeting software). Next week we’ll also be doing a time management seminar as our official August Zoom meet-up. Membership is $9/month. Hope to see you there!

I may need to listen to this. My daughter was born earlier this year. Long weekends are not the same relaxing ones they used to be. ??

Hi Laura! I'm sorry for the persistence (or nagging!) but I reached out by mail and am afraid I've reached your junk box, would love your input on a potential collaboration with the wonderful things you're doing ??
