In today's episode, Sarah and Laura discuss going out to eat -- in multiple contexts! They discuss their favorite most memorable restaurant meals, and some of the most memorable for opposite reasons (think: kid tantrums under the table within minutes of sitting down).

They provide tips and ideas for enjoying family meals with more selective eaters, and insight into the exact age when eating out with kids tends to become downright enjoyable.

In the Q&A, a listener writes in looking for sleep strategies - do Laura or Sarah have any tips around how to fall (or stay) asleep?
