Kaylee Hurt is BACK! To learn more about her journey with her daughter, Kaydee, check out Episodes 11 and 12, but today, she is here to talk about what it's like to raise her daughters on a farm! I learned so much about farm life (pros and cons), and Kaylee has SO much good advice that applies to motherhood, no matter where you live!

In this episode:

- What it's like living on her particular farm and all about calving

- What types of chores her daughters do on the farm

- The lessons her daughters have learned on the farm

- How her family makes memories in different ways than others

- How life on the farm can be incorporated into homeschool, including participation in 4H

Today, I had the opportunity to chat with Shannon Boggs, a mom of three kids 10 and under, one of whom was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes after a scary medical emergency that landed her in the ICU. Shannon also shares about her daughter's service dog, Spy!

This episode includes:

- The story of how her daughter, Raelynn, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after landing in the ICU with severely high blood sugar

- How Raelynn and her family manage her diabetes, and how Raelynn and Shannon teach other kids not to let diabetes limit them

- How Raelynn came to have Spy, her service dog, and how Spy notices and alerts when her blood sugar is high or low

- How Shannon teaches her daughter to manage her diabetes and tips to avoid kids sneaking food/progressing to disordered eating

You can find Shannon, Raelynn, and their family here:

I can't think of a better motherhood story to begin Season 3 than Ina's story today. Ina shares with us what it was like having a daughter, Kirstin, who had a chronic kidney disease, including what it was like to donate her own kidney to her daughter when Kirstin was 5 years old. This episode includes:

- Mom to daughter kidney transplant

- Caring for a child with a chronic illness, attempting to make appointments fun, and including her other children in medical life

- The importance of family and taking care of each other

- Laughter, knitting, finding one's passions, and the importance of being kind and being a friend to those who need it most
