EVERYTHING EGGS
Keeping things light and fluffy this week on the pod, talking all things eggs. I took a hard right turn after the tantrums episode to bring you something you never saw coming, this crisp October- eggs. That’s right, all the parenting tools and life hacks for raising a child with a rare diagnosis, served up sunny side up. We covered a lot in this episode and I have tons of links and notes to share. So give the episode a listen and embrace the egg and all it has to offer.
