In today's intro, Laura discussed how she's been fascinated for a long time by families who manage to have both parents work full time while also managing homeschool. Then, Anandi Raman Creath joins her to chat about how she did just that when her kids were in the elementary years (even before COVID made it a more common thing!).

In the Q&A, a listener wonders how to handle it when one child needs more attention at a given time (in her case, related to a medical diagnosis). How do you balance the increased needs while ensuring siblings feel well cared for, too?

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?
