Episode 10: Toddler Travel, Trimester 2 and Conclave Review

Rejoice and be glad listeners, for Laura has returned from the DR, safe and sound and full of watermelon! The mamas have recorded this episode with only the beloved listeners in mind, so that you too can imagine that you were in the sunny beaches of the Dominican Republic...

We kick things off by talking about baby interests: Justine's son spent an afternoon fascinated by an electrician, while Laura's daughter consistently enjoys "the cooking show" (starring Laura).

Laura debriefs about the trip, handing out pro tips for traveling with babies and how they managed irregular feeding times, airplane and bus rides and mix-ups with grandmas... Look no further for all your pro tip needs for traveling with a toddler!

Justine jumps in with her own pro tip: learn to sharpen your knives! Justine walks you through the different grades of whetstones, and the benefits of sharpening your own knives instead of buying new every year (or cutting with dull knives!)

We move onto Trimester Two, that magical time where your belly grows and your lower back wants to tell you all about it! Who got stuck and had to get a ride home from the coppers? Listen to find out!

For the film review segment, Justine muses about the queer representation in "Conclave", a fun Catholic intrigue movie, while Laura dishes about the latest season of Bridgerton (potential lesbian character? Rest assured: we will report back when we know!)

And lastly: Justine the Albertan is looking for book recommendations from francophone and/or Quebec authors, both for herself and her one year old son. Got a recommendation? Let us know, and Justine will try to find it at the library (Surely the BanQ will have it!)

Listen and enjoy beloveds!
