It's one of the most important episodes we've done because we've all been there. Missing life's greatest moments because we're face-down in our phone. Or maybe you've heard the sound of your kid say "you're always on your phone". We are so lucky to have Joey Odom on the show this week. He looks at our cultural problem and the solution he says has worked for him. It's one of those episodes that will have you taking action today!

Well it was bound to happen. Our kids have caught on to our signature "No Gifts Please" policy. Steve and Jenny discuss Jenny's oldest daughters reaction to learning her party is a "no gifts" party. Plus Steve's boys are growing up and asking to be treated like "big boys" much to the pain of his breaking heart.

You want to be honest with your kids about history and the ways of the world but what happens when they're asking about things that are way too heavy. From Jenny's daughter asking about the Holocaust, to Steve's son asking about pink ribbons to show support for the family of a local 3rd grader who was killed in a car crash, we try to navigate the best we can.

No high pressure sales, no sifting through add-ons... Steve and Jenny take you straight to the source this week to buy your next family car. They welcome Charlie Evans, Owner/Operator of Vangdergriff Toyota, Acura and Honda in a nothing-is-off-limits conversation about car buying. You'll learn about how much you should pay, how you can save and what your used car is really worth.

Steve and Jenny are talking about discipline. When the kids start fighting are you the type to step in and settle things for them? Maybe it's time to let it play out and see who kicks the $hit out of the other one first. With kids 6 years apart, Jenny gets to skip this unpleasantry of parenting (so far) but will it last?

After a huge response to our episode on newborn better-sleep habits, we are joined by Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant Andria Gordon. She's got the tips and the products to make sure your kiddos keep up with better sleep habits. Meet here: https://www.havebabymustsleep.com/about

Sometimes we get to talking and the conversation can be really revealing. This week our chat took a turn to details on cub scout camping (with women) and how a German stranger sent a love letter to Steve that revealed a (terribly kept) secret.

Ask and you shall receive. We have heard from many of you asking us to bring in an expert to give advice on talking to your kids about sex. We have done better... we have THE expert. Megan Michelson is with Birds & Bees and is our gust this week. You'll need just a little extra time for this episode because we just could not stop talking to her. She says it's time to stop having "THE TALK". Find out why! She has also extended a 20% off discount for our listeners for her website... use code NOGIFTS20 - and yes, we definitely will have her back for a "part two" https://birds-bees.com/pages/about
