  • Insufferable “Pathway to your Journey on your Road “

    Immensely Grateful I do not live in So Cal.

    What a bunch of psycho-babble.

    Dearest Kristen please for Gods Sake Annunciate.

  • All mom stuff now 😭

    I’ve been a follower of this podcast for years & I’m still going to check in every now & then but it seems like it’s going to turn into an all Mom/babie podcast now. As someone who could never have kids, I just can’t relate anymore. I’m absolutely happy For Kristen & Luke to because parents but I’m hoping they will eventually go back to podcasting about other things than just mom/dad/baby so that those of us that aren’t parents can still tune in & relate.

    Oh my gosh LA. Just say you want a nap at the same time… it’s not a big deal. Otherwise the baby can nap in a baby carrier wrapped around you while you do things.🤣💖

Someone who understands my busy schedule and fits into my family dynamics, preferably a homemaker who can provide peace after a long day at work.
Inside McBee Dynasty with Steven McBee
Q: What were the biggest challenges of filming a reality show with family?
There is a lot of scrutiny online and issues arise when different family members receive varying degrees of comment, leading to tension that doesn't affect their deep relationships.
Group Chat Energy with Zack Wickham
Q: What is the, if there's a recurring time, at what point in your day do you feel you judge yourself the most?
It's probably right before I step out the door or like to do something. If I don't feel pretty or I'm like, oh, I got to get a spray tan, I'm not canceling anything I have to do that day.
Q&A: Feeding, Feelings & Future Babies?
Q: What is your pit and peak of parenthood so far?
The peak has been watching her grow and engage more, and the pit was the scare of not knowing if she was choking.
Q&A: Feeding, Feelings & Future Babies?
Q: Are we going to try for another baby soon?
While we want another child, it stresses me out to think about getting pregnant right now.
