<p>On this episode: <a href="https://www.thelucylopez.com/"><u>Lucy Lopez</u></a>, <a href="https://www.dutchdutchgoose.com/"><u>Elizabeth Newcamp</u></a>, and <a href="https://zakrosen.com/"><u>Zak Rosen</u></a> are looking back on 2025, but keeping an eye on 2026. They discuss their biggest parenting fails from this year, and what they’re looking to learn and improve on in the new year. Then, it’s poetry night! Each of the hosts wrote poems for the others to cap off 2025. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you won’t want to miss it. </p><p>Podcast production by Cheyna Roth.
