142. Your Questions Answered: Sleep Edition

This episode is all about sleep and bedtime, the dreaded parenthood conundrum. We both have very unique child sleep situations. Sleep was a hot button for both of us because it was so hard when we were in the throes of dealing with it.

We polled our audience recently about their sleep stories, and the results we got made us feel so much better! It was so nice to know we weren't alone in the struggle.

We are both happy to report that sleep is becoming easier in homes today, and we're sharing some suggestions that might help you too!

THINGS WE MENTIONED:

Sensory sheet

Ok to Wake Clock

Sound machine 

Light therapy lamp

Weighted blanket 

House of Wise CBD/Melatonin gummies

Brittany's sound machine

have you tried DRY FARM WINES?

We’d like to introduce podcast sponsor, Dry Farm Wines. Dry Farm Wines is a wine club that sources natural wines from small family farms that grow organic grapes. Each wine is dry farmed (meaning no irrigation), low alcohol (below 12.5% ABV), sugar-free, lower in sulfites, free of toxic additives, and is keto/paleo-friendly, and vegan. 

Which is a fancy way of saying that you can enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of a sauvignon blanc, or the warm, fruit-forward taste of an old vine zin without the icky feeling the next day.

Dry Farm Wines offer memberships for reds, whites, or a mix of both that can be edited or canceled at any time.

To order Dry Farm Wines click here, and if you sign up for a membership through our link, you’ll get an extra bottle of wine for a penny with your first order!
