New year, fresh goals… or the same old promises?

In this episode, we talk all things goal setting and New Year’s resolutions for 2026. From setting goals that actually feel realistic (but still challenging) to questioning whether resolutions really work, we reflect on how our mindset has shifted since becoming parents.

We look back honestly at the goals we set for 2025. Which ones we stuck to, which ones we quietly abandoned, and what we learned along the way. We also ask ourselves the big question: are we ready to share all of our goals for the year ahead? Expect thoughtful reflection, a few laughs, and a realistic take on building habits that fit real life, not just January motivation.

First flight, first reunion, first surprises.

In this episode, we talk all things about our first international trip with Gabriel. From the packing struggles we definitely underestimated to navigating airports, long flights, and a whole new level of logistics as first-time parents.

We share what it was like introducing Gabriel to family in the UK for the very first time, how those reunions felt, and the realities of managing family dynamics while travelling with a baby. We also reflect honestly on whether we actually enjoyed the trip or simply survived it… and reveal a shocking first word that neither of us saw coming.

Expect real reflections, a few laughs, and the unfiltered truth about travelling abroad with a baby for the first time.

In this episode, we dive into why Kameron has a long-standing dislike for Christmas, while Amelia is firmly on the opposite end of the spectrum and absolutely loves it. All while navigating our first Christmas as parents to Gabriel.

We talk about missing out on some of the usual festive traditions, adjusting expectations, and what the season looks like now with a baby in the mix.

We also get into the questions that really matter: what are the non-negotiables on a Christmas dinner, and the worst Christmas presents we’ve ever received. Expect honest opinions, playful debate, and plenty of laughs as we figure out Christmas as a family of three.

Meet Amelia and Kameron! In our very first episode, we share the real story behind why we started this podcast and what life truly looks like as first-time parents to Gabriel.

We open up about our first few months in parenthood. The highs, the challenges, the unexpected moments, and why now felt like the right time to invite you into our world. We also dive into some honest reflections from day one, including the big question every new parent eventually asks: Would we do anything differently if we could go back?
