Manage episode 403621540 series 3550496
NOTE: Christmas is discussed, not for childrens ears!
Ever tried to light a spark of romance amidst the domestic jungle that is parenting? Then you'll crack up over our makeshift Bulgarian love nest, complete with a log burner and walls that have seen better days. This episode of Wet Wipes and Wine is all about the art of keeping date night alive, even when your eyelids are staging a protest. We spill the beans on 'Lipgate'—trust me, it's a saga you won't want to miss—and how a burnt lip became an unlikely protagonist in our family chronicles.
Who knew a six-year-old could be your biggest cheerleader? As I nervously tiptoe through the book-launching battlefield, Raifs's unwavering encouragement is the unexpected wind beneath my wings. We also chat about the evolution of our date nights—from the UK to caravan escapades!
Strap in for a walk down memory lane, sprinkled with the oddities of recollection, movie debates, and the endearing mix-up of words like "deluxe." As the festive cheer inches closer, we muse over Christmas Eve traditions, sheepdog shenanigans, and the joy and heartache of fostering adorable fur-babies. From the poignant transition of Santa-skepticism to the comedy gold of our kids' verbal bloopers, this episode promises a blend of warmth, wit, and a little wine-soaked wisdom. Join us, and let's toast to the chaotic, beautiful mess of parenting!
