Spending Like We're Millionaires | Episode 14

Money, are we ever really taught how to handle it? In this episode, we dive into all things money. The mistakes we’ve made, the lessons we’ve learned, and how our relationship with finances has changed over the years. From poor decisions and missed opportunities to habits we wish we’d started sooner, we reflect honestly on the money lessons that only seem to come with experience. We also talk about how becoming parents has shifted our mindset, especially when it comes to planning for Gabriel’s future. From the values we want to teach him to the financial habits we hope to pass on, we discuss what we’d love him to understand far earlier than we did. Expect honest conversations, real reflections, and a grounded look at money, mistakes, and building a better future for the next generation.

The Meme Show! Baby Sign: The Early Years Communicator | Episode 11

Can babies really communicate before they can talk? In this episode, we dive into Amelia’s latest passion, learning to teach baby sign with Gabriel.

We talk about why baby sign isn’t just important for children with hearing difficulties, but something that can benefit all children. From improving communication and strengthening connection to helping babies express their needs earlier, we explore the surprising positives we’ve discovered along the way. We also share some of the first signs we’re teaching Gabriel, what we’ve learned so far, and whether we think it’s something more parents should consider.
