The Perpetual Motion Family: Alex’s Story Part 2

Sara and Lacey check in with Alex and hear about her experience with stay-at-home motherhood and home management. If you love nitty grity details, this is the episode for you. Now that she has transitioned to her new daily life, we learn about Alex's routine with her daughters and how they spend their time outdoors and at place like the YMCA. She talks about the challenges of keeping her car and house clean and organized with all their coming and going, and also admits to struggling with the arts and crafts room.

Alex is open, honest, and willing to share her experience, even when it wasn't Instagram-perfect. It was refreshing to hear her talk about how her expectations of what her days would look like didn't match up with reality and how she's adjusting to that. We dive into some possible solutions to help aide into making her home run a bit more smoothly to allow her family to stay in perpetual movement as they like.
