  • Fun for the Whole Family (Even with a 13-Year Age Gap!) EP 410
    Jun 10 2025

    In today's episode, Sarah and Laura chat about the start to their summers, and then dive into the topic of whole-family fun. Laura's kids are 5-18, and Sarah's are 7-13 -- both acknowledge the challenge that "whole family fun" can present especially with decent-sized age gaps, and provide some ideas to help (or in some cases, arguments for throwing in the towel and splitting things up!).

    In the Q&A, a listener writes in for tips on traveling across time zones (in both directions!).
