Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Why This Episode? (01:01–05:36)

• Sadie’s Introduction & Intent:
  • Sadie shares she is on maternity leave and her mom and grandmother are hosting, interviewing the family’s youngest members.
  • Addresses mom listeners: “All you moms out there, you are doing a great job… There’s so much you’re trying to carry as a mom.”
  • Emphasizes generational wisdom: “One of the things that has helped me most is that I get to go to my mom and ask her for advice… If not my mom, my grandma.”
  • Parenting trends vs. tested wisdom: Current trends come and go, but timeless principles from faith and experience endure.
  • Reminder to all listeners: “Children are such a blessing… the Bible is really clear we can learn so much from children and the way that we influence children matters.”
  • Reads a commentary about Jesus blessing children (Matthew 19):
    “Jesus makes it very clear that we absolutely have time for this… He did not depart from them until all of them had been blessed.” (04:57)

2. Building Conversation and Relationship With Kids (05:36–10:52)

• Chris (“Mom”) and 2Mama Reflect:
  • Importance of open conversations from a young age: “I wanted you to tell me everything. And so [Sadie] always felt like there was nothing she couldn’t tell me.” (06:17)
  • Personalities differ: Each child requires a unique approach to conversation; what works for one may not work for another.
    • 2Mama shares: “In my three kids, oddly enough, it was the boy who was the talker… Ryan could not get within 50ft of me, and his mouth was already moving.” (07:54)
    • Intentional moments: “My time was at night, after you got to bed, I would go into each room and have a conversation.” (08:45)
  • Navigating distractions: Technology creates barriers; parents must limit distractions and claim spaces (like car rides, dinner) for conversation.
    • “The car is a great place for conversation…So I think one of the real challenges for this generation is to limit distractions.” (09:34)

3. Turning Every Moment Into a Teachable Moment (13:17–16:38)

• Teaching Through Daily Life:
  • 2Mama: “I really do think that any moment is a teachable moment… I would not let my kids shrug their shoulders or say ‘I don’t know.’” (13:36)
  • Role playing and practicing conversation: “Training is repetition. Practicing conversation, looking someone in the eye... that’s part of that training.” (14:42)
  • Fun learning games: rhyming, I Spy, “Fortunately/Unfortunately,” and sentence-building games all encourage communication.

4. The Power of Everyday Conversation (16:38–20:55)

• Impact on Development:
  • “There have been studies done about how much conversation happens in the home and how that affects IQ and learning later in life.” (16:38)
  • Eating together: Whether at home or in restaurants, meal times are opportunities for meaningful conversation—no matter how hectic life gets.
    • “Even if you’re in a restaurant, you can still use that time meaningfully.” (17:14)
  • Avoiding digital distractions: “If you’re in a restaurant where you can have a conversation… kids need to have conversations with you around a dinner table.” (18:53)
  • Notable Quote:
    “Parents are there with their kids, the kids eating ice cream, and the parent is on the phone… they’re seeing you and watching you and that’s limiting the conversation.” (19:40)

5. Childhood Activities and Generational Shift (21:39–23:09)

• Old Games vs. New Devices:
  • Noticing a decline in clapping/jump rope games, and how connection, rhythm, and learning through play are lost if screens take over.
  • “Those are developmental skills our kids are missing if we don’t do it.” (22:57–23:09)
• Documenting Kid Wisdom:
  • The mothers reminisce about recording funny or sweet moments, encouraging journaling or note-taking to capture precious stages.
    • “Even if you write down four things a year, that will come back to be the sweetest things you’ll find in your house.” (24:25)

Memorable Quotes

• Sadie (on generational advice):
  “I always think to myself, man, how do people do it without this sound wisdom in their life, without just, like, going to someone who is anchored in their faith and really has raised a lot of children?” (03:25)

• 2Mama (on children’s personalities):
  “Your kids will have different personalities about them having conversations … that’s just one of those things as a mom you get to figure out.” (07:46)

• Chris/Mom (on conversation):
  “I think your kids need to feel like they can tell their mom anything. And not only can they, but they should.” (06:17)

What's up, everybody? I hope you're having a great week, y'.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

All.

[Mom (the grandmother)]

I am so excited to kind of pop into this episode just to intro it up. So actually, they recorded this episode while I was on maternity leave, and I got to come up here and see it in person. It was so cute, all the kids getting interviewed, and I was just so thankful for this moment. But before we get into the podcast, my mom and two mama are actually hosting this podcast and they're actually, actually interviewing our kids, which is so sweet and so adorable. But I wanted to give you a little context as to why I want to do an episode like this. So I'm a mom, right? I'm 28 years old, three kids, and it is crazy. It's hard. Like all you moms out there, I just want to say you are doing a great job. Christian and I were actually talking about how we want to, like, make little stickers or something to pass out to moms at the airport. Being like, you go, girl. Like, you're crushing it because there's so much that you're trying to carry as a mom, just being a good mom, doing all the things right, you know, raising your kids to be awesome people and thinking about all the things social media is throwing at you. And it just can be overwhelming. And one of the things that helps me the most is that I get to go to my mom and ask her for advice. If not my mom, go to my grandma asking my grandma for advice. And it's really cool to get to have such sound wisdom and advice from two women who have raised kids and they've lived through, like, a lot of different things. Trends, I guess I should say. And I say that because some of the parenting tips of our day are just that they're Trends, they're like, hey, this is a good idea. This is something that we're trying. This is like, the hype or the big thing. Everybody's doing the method that's working. But it's nice to kind of hear your grandma say, hey, we didn't do that, and y' all turned out just fine. And so I always think to myself, man, like, how do people do it without this sound wisdom in their life, without just, like, going to someone who is, you know, anchored in their faith and really has raised a lot of children? And so, with that being said, I wanted to invite them on the podcast. For all you moms out there who might not have that voice in your life, who might not have someone to go to, who can just say, hey, here's some tips and tricks that I did with you guys. Here's how we talk to our kids. Here's how we raised y', all, and look at how you guys turned out. And so I hope this is a blessing to you. I hope that this encourages you in your parenting. And then also, if you're not a mom, if you're not a parent and you're like, should I even listen to this podcast? I encourage you to listen. I encourage you to dive in, because children are such a blessing. And even if they're not your children, I think we can learn so much to them. And the Bible is really clear on that, that we can learn so much from children, and the way that we influence children matters. So before we get into it, I just wanted to read this from Matthew 19, so Matthew 19, just to kind of set it up, all these little children or these parents are bringing their little children to Jesus to bless them. And the disciples are like, no, we don't have time for this. And Jesus makes it very clear that we absolutely have time for this. We absolutely had time to bless these children. And I'm actually not reading it from the Bible. I'm reading it from this study commentary. It's the Bible knowledge commentary of the New Testament. And I just like the way it kind of paints it. But in Matthew 19, it says many parents were bringing their children to Jesus for him to place hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples felt like this was a waste of Jesus's time. They began rebuking those bringing the children. And apparently the disciples had forgotten, forgotten what Jesus had just said earlier about the worth of children and the seriousness of causing them to fall, which is in Matthew 18, Jesus rebuked the disciples, telling them to tell the little children to Come and not to hinder them. The kingdom of heaven is not limited to adults who might be considered to be worth more than children. Anyone who comes to the Lord in faith is worthy subject for the kingdom. This implies that Jesus had time for all of the children that day and did not depart from them in that region until all of them had been blessed. And I just thought that was really cool just reading that commentary on the story of Matthew 19, that Jesus not only said, it's not a waste of time, but it's actually very much so worth my time that I'll stay here and bless all of these children. And so I wanted to keep this at the forefront of your mind this holiday season as you're surrounded by little kids to learn from the little kids, take time to bless the little kids, take time to speak life over them and listen to the things that they're saying. It's so important and it might be silly, it might be fun, but just your engagement in their life is going to shape who they are and who they're becoming. So I hope this is encouragement to all of you who are around kids this holiday season and for the moms out there, you're doing a great job and I hope you feel so encouraged by the advice that my mom and grandma give during this podcast.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Hey there, everybody. Welcome to wo. That's good. I hope you are having a great week and I am really excited about today and I think it's going to make your day even better because we've got a lot of cuteness in the studio right now. If you hear anything that is kids. Yes. We are doing a very special podcast first with my mom, Chris Howard, here in studio. And then later, we're going to invite some extra special special guests. Our grandkids, my grandkids, two mamas, great grandkids to the studio. And we're just gonna talk a little bit about talking to your kids. This whole podcast is just gonna be about how to have good conversations with your kids. How do you be your kid'? How do you keep your house open? And speaking of, we've got a little friend.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

Come here.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

You must sit on my lap. Okay, so, Haven, if you're just listening and cannot watch, I got a little Haven on my lap and she's got one of these little poppet toys. Very good. Okay, so we thought we would just use today to really talk about building relationship with your kids and starting that when they're young. And how do you have age appropriate conversations with your kids to just develop that relationship to where whenever they are older, they'll come to you with anything and everything. Sadie always jokes that I made her feel like I had to tell her everything. And I was like, yeah, exactly. It was purposeful. I wanted you to tell me everything. And so she always felt like there was nothing she could not tell me. And not only could she not, but she had to tell me everything. And I think it's good. I think your kids need to feel that they can tell their mom anything. And not only can they, but they should. So I really did try to foster that in our kids, and I know mom did that in me as well. And so I'm gonna throw it to two mama right now. Tell me kind of how you feel about conversations with your kids and why it's important.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Well, I think the about it is your kids all will have a different personality about them having conversations.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

True.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Like, in my three kids, oddly enough, it was the boy who was the talker. I used to say Ryan could not get within 50ft of me, and his mouth was already moving to tell me something that happened in the day.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

That is odd, because usually the boys don't tell you as much.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Usually it's your boy that you kind of have to pull things out of. But I had a boy who was a talker, so that was great. And then your personality was so different than Ash's personality. And so that's just one of those things as a bomb that you get to figure out and have so much fun figuring it out and then who to talk, how to talk to each one of them. So I love that once you think.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

You have it figured out, then the next one's different, the next one's different. Or sometimes you do have to work a little bit harder to have those moments of conversations with certain people, because.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

I would say for you, Bella may have been a little bit harder than Satan, because that was just her personality. So, yeah, I think that's. That's the fun thing about whatever it is. That is part of our job as a parent to figure that out so that we can foster those conversations. And I know as y' all got older, my time was in. At night, after you got to bed, I would go into each room and have a conversation. You probably don't even remember that now, but, uh. Oh, now this one, we don't have a trouble talking with it all, do we?

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Do you want to say hi to microphone?

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Can you say hi? Don't touch it. Don't touch it.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Oh, she loves the new Snow White.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

She loves Snow White.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

That's her new favorite movie.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Her favorite movie.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

What's your favorite song on Snow White? You. What? What?

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Which one do you like?

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Princess Problems.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

Yeah.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

And does Honey sing it all the time?

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

And Elsa, she loves Elsie. She loves all the princesses. She does. Well, I was thinking about how I think some of the things that we used to just have to do out of necessity because there wasn't things like iPads or even TVs in the car or all that. Now days, you have to be more intentional about it because there are so many distractions for your kids. And so I think the car is a great place for conversation at dinner, wherever. So I think one of the real challenges is for this generation in raising their kids is to limit the distractions because there can be so many things that can pull. Pull you away from having those conversations that we just didn't have before. And I do remember when even, like the first time I got a minivan that had a TV in it. Of course the kids want to watch the TV every time you're in the car. And I just. We didn't do that. We said, no, the TV in the car is only for long road trips. But we're not going to do it every time we're driving 15 minutes or 20 minutes to school or to church or whatever, because that is a time when you can have really good, purposeful conversations with your kids.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

That's a very good point, because every generation has their level of distractions. You know, everybody's going to do that on some level. And of course, when I was growing up, TVs came into popularity, and I'm sure my parents thought the same thing. Oh, we need to be talking to our kids. And. Yes, you do. So, however, whatever the distractions are for your generation, it's your job to manage that.

[Mom (the grandmother)]

That's right.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Be in charge of that. This is just distractions.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Do you. Would you like to sit on our lap and come have a conversation?

[Mom (the grandmother)]

No.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

You don't want to? She said nope. Come here, baby girl. Nope. Okay.

[Mom (the grandmother)]

All right, fam. Let's be real. The holiday season is beautiful and absolutely cray gray. School is out, the house is loud, and I'm trying to shop for gifts and keep them hidden from curious little eyes, but plus, there's always another party and a dish I promise to bring. It is joyful chaos, but still a little chaotic. That's why I have been so thankful for AG1, so that I can stay one scoop ahead of it all. It's a daily health drink that's one steady thing in my life. In the middle of all the craziness, just one scoop once a day and you'll feel just like yourself. But the best version of yourself. AG1 is so easy to fit into any lifestyle. They have travel packs. I'll show you right here. And actually, new and improved travel packs. Goes super easy in a water bottle. Not only could you do this in water, you could also try it in smoothies. AG1 also has a lot of different flavors now, so you should try them. AG1 supports my energy and also my gut health. It has so much superfoods, probiotics, vitamins, all in one. Because no matter how busy the season gets, I want to show up with love and energy. If you never tried AG1, I'm telling you, now's the time to do it. If you are not on a consistent vitamin routine or you're taking lots of vitamins, this is just the easiest way to get started on taking vitamins or is easy way to get everything all in one. It truly does make a huge difference for me. I really did notice clarity and energy day one. And I know they don't even promise you that. I felt that though. So head to drink ag1.com whoo. To get a free welcome kit with an AG1 flavor sampler and a bottle of vitamin D3 plus K2 when you first subscribe. That's drink ag1.com whoo.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

You're so silly.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

So I know you are always really good about having intentional conversations. Like after you would go see a movie, talking about the movie and what life lessons you learned from it and stuff like that. I always say you could turn anything into a teachable moment and that's just like the teacher in you. So talk about that a little bit.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Yeah, I think that is the teacher in me because. But I really do think that any moment is a teachable moment. Everything that we do in life, there's some lesson in there to learn. And so for y', all, I was like that I would try to pull out the answers to things that I didn't. I would not let my kids shrug their shoulders or say, I don't know. I would say, I don't know is not an answer and shrugging your shoulders is not an answer. So let's think about that again now.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

What.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

What did that show, what did that movie tell you about you? Maybe you know, So I would think of those questions to kind of draw them out like that. But like we said earlier, all the kids, all your kids are going to have a natural inclination to how they handle conversation. And so you don't want to embarrass them, you don't want to draw attention to them, but you have to be mindful that you're the manager of that. You're teaching them how to handle their emotions and their feelings and big feelings and little feelings and things they see in movies, their thoughts. You're. You're the one helping them learn how to handle all those things. And they handle that by conversations to you.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

We were having the discussion the other day with Sadie and Christian about like training and discipline and things like that and that scripture talks about train up a child and the way he should go. And we were talking about training. And you really do with children. You have to train them. You have to. That's part of teaching. You go from this they're babies, that you're just caring for them and every one of their needs and that's your whole role for a while. And then they hit taller phase. And it is about like training. And part of training is repetition. Practicing conversation, practicing looking somebody in the eye, practicing what do you. When you're going to meet a friend, what would you. How would you. What would you say first? You know that role playing? Yeah, practicing how to do that. And that's part of that training. Some of the things that we did in the car, I remember growing up that the kids loved we rhyming games. They love to learn to rhyme. And that's part of it. It's just games. They think you're actually, you know, that they're learning things they don't know they're learning. They're just having fun playing I spy rhyming games. We used to a fun little storytelling game called fortunately and unfortunately where you would take turns and it would follow a little thing where you could say, unfortunately it rained today. And then the next kid has to add on to that story. But fortunately I had an umbrella and it was a really fun one. And just something that they can use their creativity and continue a conversation.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

And we would also just do a tell a story game. Like you would have to say a sentence and the next person would say a sentence. And I remember with the kids and with my grandkids, we're just old enough with the great grands, but with the grandkids like you, they have to learn that like that they're like, what is that? But you're actually teaching them how to carry on a conversation, which is an invaluable life skill. So when they learn how to complete A sentence or do a rhyme, all of those kind of things. They're actually just learning how to have a conversation with people.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah. There have been studies done about just how much conversation happens in the home and how that affects IQ and how that affects learning later in life just from babies. You know, you should talk to your babies, talk to your toddlers all day long. You know, talk about what you're doing, talk about what you're feeling, what you're thinking, all those kind of things. It helps develop their brains and their language skills and their conversational skills, and then also helps in so many aspects of their learning later in life that you don't even. You may not even realize or understand.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

You know, our generation was the generation that really and truly sat down around the table every sing. And then your generation was the generation that we got away from that. And I was very mindful of that because the older generation was very critical of our generation because we found ourselves in restaurants more than we were around the table. But I used to say, even then, it really doesn't matter if you're a restaurant, you still can use that time meaningful. And I think we did that. You know, we still had a conversation around the table. You ask what happened in your day? What was a good thing? What's a high? What's a low? You can have have those conversations wherever you are. So if you find yourself that busy mom and you're picking up the kids from football, and you're like, okay, we're just going to stop on the way home for dinner, that doesn't negate that you can have a meaningful conversation around a dinner table, you know, that's so good.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah. Yeah. Willie and I grew up very differently in that aspect and that their family was around the dinner table. K cooked three meals a day, literally. I don't even know how that was possible. When I first, you know, joined the.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Robertson family, I was like, we cook three times a week.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Exactly. We were like, wait, you actually cook three meals a day? What? But, yeah, ours was different. We ate out a lot, but we ate because we were busy. We were active. We were all involved in, like, all the sports and all those things.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

So when I was teaching.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Right. And so we were a very active family, but we had those conversations and intentional time, even if we were at a restaurant or if we had picked up takeout or whatever, it wasn't just kind of every go to their own room and eat a meal.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

That's the thing today about not having your iPads out.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yes.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

If you're in a restaurant where you can have a conversation. And I was telling somebody just recently, they were flying. Oh, my niece had called and they were flying. And she was like, I mean, to mama, I just had to like, give him anything. And I said, there are times when you just give them everything. And one of those times is when you're on an airplane because you've got other people involved and you get the iPad out. You do give them food, you give them a snack.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

It makes those sometimes more special because they don't have it all the time. They do have it.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

And this is, this is a baby. He's not even old enough yet. But as your kids get old enough to have a conversation, they need to have the conversations with you while you're around a dinner table. That will become so valuable to them.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah. And you know, we're of course, from an older generation. And so you don't want to be those old people that are critical. But it is so interesting. You know, I have been places like an ice cream shop where parents are there with their kids and you and you know, they like plan a little ice cream date or whatever and the kids eating ice cream and the parent is on the phone or the, you know, we were just in Taiwan and we were in the subways a lot and it was really fun and we had the kids. So we weren't on our phones because we were with kids and all this kind of stuff. But you looked around and everyone else is in the subway on their phones. And you know, it's one thing if you're by yourself, but another thing if you're with, with kids and with people, they're seeing you and they're watching you and that's limiting the conversation. The kids are sitting there kind of left to their own devices while you're on your phone. And sometimes you don't even realize it because you're distracted and you are. And so I think that's why this conversation we felt like was really important right now was to just challenge you guys as parents to be intentional about those conversations. Don't be distracted. Don't let the modern day distractions distract you by looking at your phone or the iPads. Distract your kids all the time to where you're not having those conversations.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

But, well, one more thing too quickly because the laws have changed in the education system where kids cannot have their phones at school now. And I've already talked to teachers who've been. They're like, it is so fun to see the kids having a conversation at lunch. Like they didn't, they couldn't have them in the classroom then, but they got them at breaks at lunch and you know, whenever they were not in the classroom, which I said, now I was.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Even ever a thing. I don't understand how. Me too. They let them have phones in schools at all. Yeah.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

I don't ever get that. But I've been following several teachers who are like, we are loving this so much because at break they're out there talking to each other. At lunchtime they're talking to each other and wow, that's great.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

I've been seeing some things about like, things like the little clapping games, you know, that we used to do or the jump rope games and the songs and all that. How there's been a decline in that kids don't know them anymore. They don't do them anymore. And so. But how important those are even for your development. Thinking about things like rhythm and rhyming when you do this little games and how you're learning coordination and also you're doing it with somebody else. So there's connection and interaction that's happening in those just simple hand clap games. And if we lose that, you know, they're losing, they're not realizing what all they're losing. When they're losing that, it's not just.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Something of the past, it's something about the future they're losing. So when you think, oh, we did that peace, poise, that was old timey thing. But really like you said, you're teaching rhythm and clapping and all of those things that are going to affect your future if you don't get those skills down.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Exactly.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

That are so valuable, we don't want to be guilty of. And Mary Kay was doing a couple of them in the pool the other day. It was so fun to hear Ella.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Doing those with John Luke and John Sheppy and, and Mary Kate and. And I just love seeing that.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

In the, in the kids because that's. Those are things that seem like, oh, this kind of simple. It's just like, you know, that's old timey. But no, those are development skills that our kids are missing.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yes. Skills. We don't do it. Yeah. So I think that this conversation is not to like shame me anybody or make anybody feel like, okay, we did it better in this generation because there were definitely things that we did not do. Right. And I think that we are learning from this next generation about parenting and about teaching kids and all that that are great things. But there are also some things that like we can Easily lose if we're not aware of really the importance of them. So this is just kind of a little bit of reminder. And so we thought it'd be really fun if we invited the grandkids in today and we just asked them some questions. One of the things that. That I wish I would have done more of, honestly, I did it a little bit, and I have a few funny notes in my phone where I just quizzed our kids and I asked them things like, you know, who's your teacher? Things like that. Just to have them have it written down. What do you want to be when you grow up? All those things. And I wish I would have done it more and written it down more intentionally, but the ones that I do have are so special and because it just captures this moment in your kid's life of what. What. What they care about in that time and whatever age that they are. So I was gonna. I have my phone so you can talk a little bit, and I'll see if I can find any of them.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Because like I said, we think this is gonna be fun. So we're not really sure how this is gonna come out, but. Because we do talk to them, our kids, a lot, but they're still little. Our oldest one is six. So we've got six, five, four, four, four, three, two, one. I mean, they're all different ages. So we're gonna see when we bring them out here how they're. How they're gonna handle this, that we tell the kids a lot. We'll get what we get. We won't throw a fit. So that may be how this goes today, or just. We don't know what we're going to get. We don't know what we're going to get. But when my kids were little, we didn't, of course, have so many things to type in and write things. And I'm like, Corey, I wish I would have written down more things. But we do have. We did have our baby books. We kind of did baby books pretty well back in that day because we didn't have any other kind of way. So I'm like you. I just. I love to look back in there and see things that Ashley said or Corey said or Ryan said. And like, that is just like the sweetest memory to have that. So I would encourage you, if you have a journal or you don't have a journal yet, just get one. And even if you just write down four things a year, that will come back to be some of the sweetest things that you'll find in your house.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

And just put it in notes in your phone. If you're sitting there at dinner or whatever, ask a few questions, put it in the notes in your phone. It'll be so fun to have year after year. Mary Kate, I know did that with John, Shep and Ella recently and one of the questions was what's your favorite thing thing you did this summer? And John shepherd said a fish with K Mama. And that just made my heart so happy because we love to fish together. And Ella said she loved camp, Camp Chioka and she did. She loved it so much. And so it's just really sweet to see like what they love, what they care about. And so yeah, just ask your kids the questions. So that is what we're going to do today and we will see what happens. So should we invite the kids in?

[Two Mama (the mother)]

I think we should. Time to bring them in.

[Mom (the grandmother)]

Here we go. You know what I'm most thankful for this season? Slow moments with the family that point us back to Jesus. Because let's be honest, the holidays are a little crazy.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Honey, that's so good.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

Big blowout.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

A big blowout for her, Pete. She did. Why does mommy love Peter in the Bible?

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

Because he had faith.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Because he had faith. That's right. He has faith. What does it mean to have faith?

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

That means that you're not staring. Yeah.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Very good.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Very good. You mean you look at Jesus and trust him?

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

He didn't look at Jesus. He looked at the stone.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

He looked at the storm. That's right. And what happened when he looked at the storm?

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

He fell in the water.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Uh huh. But Jesus was still there for him and he helped him get out, didn't he?

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

Mm.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Yeah, that's right. Tell me about the truth.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

The truth doesn't change. The truth is because one time I had a pink top and Haman said it's red. And I said, hey, Haman said the top is red. But Mommy said truth said.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

That's right. So like even if. If Haven says the cup is red and it's actually pink.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

Yeah.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

The truth doesn't change. The cup is still pink. Isn't that right? Is that your favorite, Is that your favorite thing to say? The truth doesn't change. No.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

I had a purple tub and. But I had. I had a top that paint and a straw that paint. But I. But. But there I had a purple top. That was purple. Her pump like that tower.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

My lotion.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

It kind of makes me sleepy.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

That makes you sleepy?

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

I have a special magic lotion beside my bed that makes them sleepy. But we had a girls night and they were being wild in my bed, and so we had to use the magic lotion beside my bed. And it made them sleepy. As soon as they did it, they started yawning.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Mommy may need some of that magic lotion.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Huh? That's what Sadie said, that now they can't go to sleep. And without it.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

That's so funny.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

I never can go to sleep without it.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

You never can go to sleep without it. I'm going to have to buy you some magic lotion. Well, you know what I think? I think you did so good. I'm so proud of you. Thank you for answering all these questions.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Okay, one last question.

[Children (various kids being interviewed)]

What?

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Who is the craziest cousin Holland?

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Raise your hand on that. Is that you? Oh, yeah. Everyone do their best silly face.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

There we go. Where's your silly face?

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Look at that. Look at her rolling her tongue.

[Two Mama (the mother)]

Wow, those are some good silly faces.

[Host (likely the main podcast host, possibly the daughter)]

Great silly face.

[Mom (the grandmother)]

All right. Okay. That was the cutest thing ever. I hope you enjoyed all the advice that was given. And this is one of those ones that sometimes it's not just about what you hear as advice, but what you see. And I hope what you've seen has been an encouragement to you for how you're going to speak to your trip children and listen to them in the days to come. I know the holidays can get crazy. You're stressed about doing everything perfect, but take the pressure off to do it perfect. Just enjoy the presence of your family, being together. Enjoy the moment, and have a great holiday season with your family. Ra.
