Parenting is Hard w/ Matt & Stacy Barnes

Being sick sucks. Having sick kids sucks too. Being sick while you have sick kids? That's when you find yourself asking why you got into this whole parenting thing to begin with. This week, we're talking about dealing with kid sickness. We've experienced quite a bit with sickness in the past four years and have figured out quite a few tips we're sharing with you this week. But, it's not just us and our tips, a number of our listeners contributed to these tips to deal with sickness! Tips such as:

1. Make a Chart (and Keep Your Charts!)
2. Keep Notes!
3. Steamy Showers and Long Baths
4. Humidifiers and Diffusers
5. Shut it Down!
6. No Shoes
7. Let Them Sleep!
8. Mask Up

Not only that, but we share a list of our favorite products that help make the whole sickness thing a little more bearable. And, as always, Parenting Wins!

This is Episode Six of Parenting is Hard w/ Matt & Stacy Barnes!

Before we were parents, we had no idea that food was going to be one of the biggest stressors in our parental lives. With four kids four and under, trying to get them to all eat the same thing, let alone eat healthy options, try new things, not be picky, and, you know... just finish their freaking dinners is more than a tall order. Add to that whatever relationship we have with food ourselves, and the anxiety about getting this right can be overwhelming and none of us should be figuring it out alone. This week, we're going to share our journey and tips with eating (and beg you for yours!).

Not only that, but we've got some great Parenting Wins involving bugs, tadpoles, butterflies, a lot of mud, and a musical recap of the day (seriously); Kid Quotes with listener submissions and whole bunch more!

This is Episode Four of Parenting is Hard with Matt & Stacy Barnes.

THIS IS IT! Welcome to the first episode of Parenting is Hard!

In our first episode, we share a little bit about ourselves and what we want this podcast to be. (An entertaining opportunity to feel better about your parenting as we crowdsource parenting.) Also, what we definitely DON'T want it to be! (A judgmental downer that just makes you feel like you're failing.)

So, jump on in as we introduce recurring segments like "Parenting Wins" (gotta focus on the positive stuff!) and "Matt Reviews Things" (Matt shares an interesting perspective on Nickelodeon's "Bubble Guppies") and we bring you into our parenting journey with two sets of twins!

Remember vacations? Impromptu trips? Quick getaways? Yeah... those are gone now. At least, not the way they once were. Kids change everything and traveling with kids brings its own set of fun challenges! We'll be talking about those challenges and sharing some things we've learned as well as a horror story of the time we stupidly thought we'd take 9-month-old twins to Maui. (It did not go according to plan!)

On top of that, Matt Reviews Stuff is back this week with a look at the Netflix cartoon "Rainbow Rangers" (I bet you can't guess how he feels about it
