This week, on Hanging with the Haizmans,  we talk about an exciting new challenge I have taken on this year - the 1,000 Hours Outside Challenge. That’s roughly 3 hours outside a day!

This challenge is going to really push me to make getting out of the house a priority. With my 2-year-old daughter, and baby number 2 due in the spring, I am determined to give it my best shot for my own mental health and for the overall wellbeing of my family.

Listen along as we discuss the hurdles we have already faced with the weather (right now in Illinois we are in the negatives!), and with the introduction of a new routine for our toddler (getting full winter gear on a 2-year-old every single day is not for the weak 🤪).

- Those first awkward moments 
- Demanding to breastfeed in the hospital  
- What I would change about our journey  
- Having a dip in supply, and what helped me continue  
- How we handled biting, pinching & other battles  
- Why I breastfed into toddlerhood  
- Breastfeeding in PUBLIC!  
- Getting pregnant  while breastfeeding
- The weaning process & how life changed for us!

The holiday season is a truly magical time. Especially when you have young children!

And with Christmas right around the corner, I've been getting increasing questions about how we plan to approach Santa or if we will do Elf on a Shelf with our 2-year-old daughter Adalynn.

Today, Alexander and I sit down for the first time to really discuss our opinions and ask each other some compelling questions. Discovering together what aligns best with our goals and values.
