The Hotline: Future Babies, Reality TV & Friendship Red Flags

Coming in a smidge late this week because our household has been a little down bad - but we’re back on track! I’m sharing why I’m ready to get my spark back this fall, plus my very honest thoughts on some recent tv obsessions. Then we’re getting into your Hotline questions: Do Peter and I want more kids?
