The Baby Years: Episode #30 of The Martha + Mary Show

The Baby Years episode 30 of Martha Mary Show podcast Katie Reid Lee Nienhuis

Lee and her husband have four kids and Adam and I have five. Not that long ago, we were sleep deprived mamas of littles, wondering if we’d make it. On this week’s episode, of The Martha + Mary Show, we’re reminiscing about the baby years—things we miss and things we don’t. We’re here to offer you a comforting hug and assurance that you will make it!

Parenting little people is hard work! There are snuggles and songs and lots of sleepless nights and second-guessing. Katie and Lee chat about what was tough and what was a lifeline, during the baby years—encouraging you to hang onto hope and savor this fleeting stage with your kiddos.
