Catholic Mom Converts: Laughs and Littles Podcast: Recent Episodes
Annie & Sarah Catholic Moms
Catholic conversation with two convert friends about friendship and faith in the midst of motherhood. Life with littles is better when we do it together, so grab a load of laundry, and join us (Annie & Sarah) for some laughs. Listen to your favorite Catholic Mom Podcast on Saturday mornings every 3 weeks or so!
It’s bittersweet, a little emotional, but it’s time! We’re wrapping up the podcast after 4 great years of conversation about friendship, littles, faith, and just doing life together! We talk about the reasons why it feels like time and send you off with some other podcast recommendations. If you could rate and review the podcast one last time, that would help it stay on the interwebs a little longer, and if you want to reach out you can still email us at laughsandlittles@gmail.com ❤️❤️❤️

Off the Creighton acronym, we’re putting some thought and energy into ways to connect with our spouses besides watching a show together - even when we really just want to be horizontal. Annie’s moving out of the season of avoiding pregnancy and Sarah’s moving into it, and we talk about date night activity ideas, having fun playing games, and enjoying each other when that really unitive, awesome option is off the table. 😉

In MAY Sarah tells Annie about a cool feature on the Hallow app in May - Asian saint stories from Meg Hunter-Kilmer’s book Pray For Us, read by Asian American Catholics!
Why is this cool, you may ask? Because these saints are BALLERS of the faith, and their stories are such a gift. Also because Sarah Ku, voice of Asian Catholic Woman, pitched the idea to Hallow and she reads two of the stories and she’s Sarah’s son godmother. 😇

From reluctantly mumbling along to hosting a moms rosary group or ambushing friends to pray it with us - our journeys with the rosary and discussing the 15 Promises of the Rosary that Our Lady gave to St. Dominic. The episode title is just a tad click-baity but it’s true! And it’s not as awesome as the title that Diapers and Disciples gave their rosary episode 😂

We say meltdown in this episode a few times, but we actually mean tantrum! A meltdown would be something that is due to overstimulation, fatigue, hunger, etc. A tantrum takes much more work to regulate and come back from.

Historically, moms have not entertained their littles all day. If you want to play imaginative games with your kids, great! If you don’t, then don’t! Kids are needy but we chat about getting them to play independently, talking to them less but listening more, and lowering the bar so nice mom doesn’t switch to psycho mom. Bottom line, don’t feel guilty. This episode was sponsored by Catholic Family Cratehttps://catholicfamilycrate.com

Transitioning to spring weather (Annie got snow and 80 degree weather within a few days in South Bend), we’re thinking about how we’ve been developing the skill of going through our kids’ clothes and storing it in a way that is simple and easy to access. How much we have accessible for them, when we thrift and when we buy new, and when we don’t let them look cuter than us - we’ve got spring organizing on our minds.

The steps we take to teach this new skill, the signs we use to determine readiness, and some hilarious and terrible stories we’ve lived to tell about after potty training 5 kids between the two of us. Potty training is exciting, emotionally exhausting, and definitely an experience that will go better with a good friend at your side. If you don’t have that, save this episode for those days when poop is all you can think about.

Biting, hair pulling, tantrums, diaper change wrestling matches - we’re talking about how we as parents can address these behaviors and start forming good habits with our kids early on. Our approach is to view discipline as a teaching opportunity and to treat our kids with dignity and respect ... even when they may be biting us on the neck.

What's the point in cleaning the house before hosting a family with 3 kids under 5? Sarah had to overcome her introvert's resistance to hospitality when Annie's family recently trekked to Sarah's new city! 3 nights, 2 full days, 6 kids under 5 years old.

We’re your hosts, Annie and Sarah, and this podcast was born as a way for us to keep in touch as our friendship became long distance. We love talking about any and all things related to mom and faith life - and we often disagree, but we always enjoy laughing with each other. Our hope is that these conversations will inspire you to pursue deeper friendships that can sustain you as you live out your vocation as a mom. Life with littles is better when we do it together. 🌱

Everything from what we’re reading, Annie’s Advent candle fail, to if we let our girls wear makeup, with a mini-debate (lol, not really) about circumcision thrown in there. 😂🤪 We hope you enjoy!

Big issues: how to do Santa without lying to your kids OR becoming the Grinch. 🎅🏼🎄🤔 We share our experiences of Santa growing up, how we’ve gone about thinking about it for our kids (or not thinking about it at all, in Sarah’s case), fantasy books and cultivating imagination, and what we do for Saint Nicholas Day. 🎁 We had a lot of fun with this one and we hope that you’ll enjoy the conversation!

How to make bedtime happen, dealing with early wake ups, and all that good stuff. Annie went for it when her second kid was 9 months old, Sarah tried and it failed her first time, but it worked out when her two were a bit older. Whether it’s kicking the baby out of your room or making space for an office, it’s nice to free up a room and initiate more sibling bonding.
