This summer we've curated your Baby Bubble playlist with a healthy dose of culture-savvy conversation parents actually want - Parenting Out Loud. 

Are you feeling ‘The Squeeze’?  The daily chaos of modern parenting is real. We unpack why you’re feeling maxed out and overwhelmed and talk about whether there’s actually anything you can do about it.

Plus, are you raising readers or just scrollers? And in today’s digital world, is it even important? We discuss whether it’s possible to get over your scrolling addiction and get you (and your kids) back into books.

And, the dads are in their feelings this week, and we’re here for it. George Clooney reflects on the sacrifices he’s made for success, while Prince William reveals how even Royal dads can feel overwhelmed when it comes to raising tiny humans.

Our recommendations:

💄 Stacey is recommending the Nyx Fat Oil Lip Drip in the shade Newsfeed to achieve her iconic lip look. 

🪨 Amelia is recommending Rock Painting, and now we all know what we're getting in the office Kris Kringle this year.

🎧 And Monz wants you to listen to the Paul Field episode of the podcast Conversations, for his deeply moving, heartfelt story. A trigger warning for anyone who has experienced the loss of a child.

The Baby Bubble, hosted by twins Jessie and Clare Stephens (who had their first babies just 6 months apart), dives into the absurdity and hilarity of the first few months of newborn life. From the first post-birth poo, to the myth of schedules, and the absolute mayhem that comes with trying to leave the house.

If you’re looking for advice you’ve come to the wrong place, but if you want someone to crawl down into the chaos with you, we’re already here and the water is great!
