Burnt Pancakes: Momversations | Conversations for Imperfect Moms, Chats About Mom Life & Interviews with Real Mamas
The Burnt Pancakes Podcast is here to remind you that in motherhood, EVERYONE BURNS THEIR FIRST PANCAKE. I’m Katie Fenske, a (not so perfect) mom of 3, and I’m inviting you to join in on my conversations with other moms as we talk about all things motherhood; the good, the bad and everything in between. We're flipping our motherhood mistakes into successes and learning how to just keep flipping.
MOTHERHOOD TOPICS I DISCUSS:
Child Birth and Postpartum Recovery
Adjusting to Motherhood
Raising Boys
Toddler Mom Tips
Being a Teen Mom
Self Care in Motherhood
Managing Kid Sports and a Busy Family Schedule
Epic Mom Fails
Potty Training Woes
Surviving Summer Vacation
AND SO MUCH MORE!
