Baby raves, half marathons & should sugar and screen time rules change AFTER 2?!

Welcome back to Two Parents & A Podcast! Happy Monday.. it was a PACKED weekend over here and we’re excited to share: a baby rave, a birthday dinner, a half marathon and a concert at the park (our neighbor SPECIFICALLY invited Tate to watch him drum and it was adorable). Let’s get into it. Harrison reports back from the baby rave: four dads, four daughters, a sold-out amphitheater and a DJ remixing Wheels on the Bus into house music. We’re calling it.. baby raves might be the next big thing in parenting, and we need WAY more stuff like this to exist (tour cities linked below if you want in.. we’ll send one of you!*). At the park concert, Alex ran a little experiment of her own and tested “NO” on Tate mid-chaos.. she passed (an immediate “sorry, mama”, we’re still recovering from the cuteness). And yes, after an entire week of marathon discourse, Harrison woke up Saturday and casually ran a half marathon. Untrained. On a trail. We’re told he placed first in his age group (it’s complicated, you’ll hear). Other random life updates: the house renos are FINALLY moving (the custom iron fence is in and we couldn’t be happier), and we’ve officially upgraded from waving at our trash guys to being friends with them (Gatorade was involved). Two rides in self-driving Teslas have us rethinking our next car, and we’re seriously asking.. should we take the kids to Japan for a MONTH?! OH and Minnesotans, Harrison needs your help with Flock: if you (or anyone you know) hosts tailgates at Vikings games, DM us!! What’s on the table today?! 🧸 Parenting: revisiting “no sugar, no screens until 2” now that Tate is two.. our 80/20 rule, controlling your own turf, and the mom who swapped her smart TV for a VHS player (genius or GENIUS?) 🍿 Pop culture: Mormon Wives is expanding with non-Mormons?! We have questions on the casting playbook (BUT we’re absolutely watching November 12) 💼 Business: Starbucks’ holiday menu now includes your dog.. and a plea to our local coffee shops We close with a comment that stopped us in our tracks: a mom who kept a paper calendar on her son’s wall and wrote one little thing on it every day. Tin can, VHS, paper calendar.. the 90s childhood revival is ON. Hope everyone has a great week :-) LOVE YOU GUYS! *Giveback terms: No purchase necessary.
