Today's episode kicks off my official, full-blown launch of Secret Mom Hacks, featuring an interview with my very own momma! We talk about tilted uteruses, helpful baby gear, and we both get a little weepy near the end because we feel so darn lucky to have each other. I have several more interviews in the works and LOTS more mom stuff to talk about...so don't go far. There's another episode just around the corner. In this episode, we cover: 00:00 Parenthood is full of unexpected challenges. 04:50 Family from the Midwest, now in Tennessee. 06:55 Worked various jobs, retired after 33 years. 10:57 Water broke, went to hospital, scared, called nurse. 16:31 Innovative baby products, head pillows, and technology. 18:58 Family support allowed flexible childcare arrangements. 26:52 Self-care is paramount for caring for others.
