#10. Car Seats, Hyperbaric Healing, and Parenting Adventures: A Journey of Grit and Glee

Welcome to the Neighborhood

Episode #10: Hey neighbors, buckle up for an emotional rollercoaster as we tackle the sheer stress of car seat installation – yep, it pushed the ladies to the brink this week. Abby with an injured hubby, two rambunctious kids, and a ticking clock, let's just say the universe tested her sanity. And it's not just the mechanics of car safety that's got her on edge; join us for an honest chat about the daily battles and triumphs in family life, where punctuality seems like a mythical concept, and the art of babysitting takes on a whole new level of trust-building. Trust us, it's a ride you won't want to miss.

Listen in as we share laughs and swap tips on managing the little things that make a big difference – like transforming veggie pizza into a kid-approved 'rainbow pizza.' Ever tried disguising vitamins as candy? Or how about introducing a points system to teach kids about earning their rewards? We're serving up some creative parenting strategies and also peeking into the world of recovery therapies. Sam's got some insights on the healing wonders of hyperbaric chambers, while we consider the hilarious potential of renting one. Plus, we're keeping things light with banter about planning outings and future social events.

Finally, join us as we journey through personal growth, wellness, and the occasional chaos of managing an active family. I'm upping my tennis game, facing the hurdles of post-operative care, and maybe, just maybe, getting Owen into karate. And if that's not enough, we're taking a cold plunge into wellness, pondering our chances of scoring an invite to the Met Gala, and embracing our fitness journey – because who doesn't want to be tagged in a national celebration of progress and accountability? Abby & Kimberly is with us this week, offering insights and laughter in equal measure. So, grab your headphones and let's turn the everyday into extraordinary together.
