Tales From The Chicks Podcast

#Droutlander is long!  We are working our way through the three books and two seasons leading up to the season three premiere of Outlander in September.  In this episode we discuss season one and our love for Jamie and Claire and all of their drama!

On this week’s episode The Chicks chat about everything regarding making decisions for your new tiny humans. Did you bottle feed or breastfeed? Did you swaddle?  Did you co-sleep? Should you? The Chicks share their thoughts on nursing, lactation consultants, sleeping, eating, and other more controversial parenting topics like vaccines and circumcisions.  If you’re new to raising your son or daughter, (or multiples!) or you’re a parent with advice to give, or you still have a future with kids in it ahead of you, this episode is for you.  

We're ramping up to the season three premiere of Outlander in September by discussing books 1-3 and seasons 1 & 2.  This week's podcast is all about Outlander book one by Diana Gabaldon.  We're gonna dive down into Claire and Jamie's lives and chat about the first book and what we thought about it :-) Diana Gabaldon on writing sex: https://www.amazon.com/Give-You-My-Body-Scenes-ebook/dp/B01HA4LFB6
