This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we’re getting a real look at fatherhood from a new dad’s perspective . Harrison’s answering all your questions: What does “providing” actually mean to him?

Before we get into it, we’ve got some updates: new neighbors (👀), MDW (it looks different these days) and Alex’s thoughts on babysitters leaving dishes in the si...

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast — we bought a car (!!), Harrison is trying his hand at DIY (or at least I thought he was??), and we’re diving into how becoming parents has shifted our relationship with alcohol.

Plus — the Nestlé scandal...

But before that, we’re recapping Mother’s Day (spoiler alert: Harrison rated his efforts a 6.5/10 and I got food poisoning lol), debating whether you ACTUALLY need to f...

Happy Thursday! This week on Two Parents & A Podcast , we’re talking about what it really means to have good neighbors—because as you guys put it, “you can renovate a house, but you can’t buy good neighbors.” We start with some Year 1 milestone updates (why am I irrationally sad?!), from moving Tate into her own room to starting solids (Harrison has officially been named Chief Solids Officer ). Plus, we recap our first annual neighborhood block party —a new tradition in the making! Next, we ...

Happy Thursday!

Then, we get into our family’s secret languages (do you have one??), an update on Tate (she’s 6 months old!!! is this the end of pumping?), and the TL;DR of the house situation is that there’s no update and we’re like 30 days out. We’re also ta...

Happy Thursday! In today’s episode, we dive into baby feeding – breast, bottle, combo – all of it. We’re answering all YOUR questions—my personal breastfeeding journey, the mental struggles of breastfeeding, and what we’ve learned about formulas in the US vs. Europe. This is probably my #1 asked topic on social (and honestly, what’s on my mind most of the time), so I’m excited we sat down and shared our experience / what we’ve learned.

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! So, hypothetically—if you’ve exhausted all resources and anticipated all needs—what’s the least amount of cries a 3-month-old could have in a day?! And who's gonna tell Harrison it's more than 3?? Anyways, Christmas/Hanukkah (Chanukah????) are next week, so we discuss what we were doing this time last year, what we’re getting each other as presents, and do newborns need gifts?!

Welcome back to another episode of Just Alex! This week, we dive into some of the baby rules we wish we could break (if it was safe)—like co-sleeping or holding our baby in the car (we know, we know). Also - not really a rule - but are parents swearing in front of their kids in 2024?! Then, it’s all about newborn travel: I'm stressed about flying with our baby (maybe because we’ve done it once before) while Harrison’s surprisingly chill about it (also maybe because we’ve done it once before). Fi...
