Sara Needs a Nap: Recent Episodes
Sara
The one thing most people can agree on is we want more time to sit down with our friends and talk. Sharing stories, lamenting, giving advice or just laughing and having fun. Listen to this podcast and feel like you are sitting down to coffee with a friend. Enjoy the sleep deprived stories from a mom who just needs a nap.
Unpopular opinion: I don't really like Christmas! The older I get the worse it gets too! I explain why in this week's episode and also a bit of my childhood questions about a certain Jolly Fellow in a red suit!
I'll be posting more of my Christmas Traditions in future episodes but check this one out for details!
Do you like Christmas? What's your favorite tradition? Have you already decorated or will you wait with me until the Turkey is GONE?
Veteran's Day as the wife of a Veteran! What the day means to us and how it has changed in the 10-12years since Kel became a veteran.

Also for local to Central Illinois people check out Moraine View R&R
As always thanks to everyone who supports veterans, knows a veteran or is a veteran. Your service mattered and we are grateful for you every day!

After working at pools for over 16 years lifeguarding AND teaching swim lessons (note that is over half my life) I have learned a thing or two or one hundred about pool safety. And today i share them with you!
Go to the pool- it's stressful and crazy BUT so fun and worth all the craziness
Be prepared- i tell you what to think about, what to pack and how to plan for a pool day with multiple kids!
SUPERVISION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a big chunk because it is JUST SO IMPORTANT!!! no matter the pool, no matter the kids or ages or levels, no matter what SUPERVISION is key!
Wanna know about the "don't eat 30 min before you swim" rule.... i debunk it for you!
I also talk about how to help an unruly and fearless 2 year old be slightly more manageable at the pool.
It's summer, lets get to the pool, have some fun, be safe and get home for a nice quiet evening of worn out children!
