Episode 26: BAKER'S DAY! and writer Amelia Meyer

Loading player...
This week on The Great Equalizer, Sam is honouring Sober October (in May), Charlene is nesting (huh!?) and we chat about BAKER’S DAY. PLUS: Sam chats to author Amelia Meyer about her book, Finding Your Forever Family.

Baker’s Day is one of the main reasons why Pinterest does moms ZERO favours. In this episode we explore the many pressures that come with this all-important milestone. Sam discusses how Elijah’s Baker’s Day reduced her to the foetal position on her kitchen floor, and Charlene listens wide-eyed and terrified with Josh’s Star Baker day imminent.

And, in an effort to slot in some more important topics, we chat to author Amelia Meyer (of the blog Suddenly a Mom) about being an adoptive parent and her children’s adventure book on adoption called Finding my Forever Family.

For more on Amelia and her book, head on over to her site: www.voxate.co.za or email her at Amelia@voxate.co.za.
