Ever worry about letting your kids stay over at someone else's house? You might trust your friends or family, but what about everyone else who might be there? In this episode, we dive into the mixed feelings parents have about sleepovers. Because while sleepovers can be magical for kids, they’re a total stress-fest for parents. In this episode, we talk about how to decide whether your child is ready for a sleepover, safety tips, and some real safety concerns. Join us for a candid conversation as we weigh the pros and cons and help you decide what's best for your family.

Kee & Kelly’s 2025 Gift Guide: Making Christmas A Little Easier
Kee is BACK in the studio, sliding straight back into her natural role…overthinking your Christmas list so you don’t have to. Christmas used to be a vibe. Now it’s a spreadsheet - four school Kris Kringles, seventeen nieces and nephews, and a partner who swears “I don’t need anything” (but absolutely does). In this episode of Eat Sleep Repeat, Kee and Kelly serve up their 2025 Gift Guide - real-life ideas for real-life families that don’t involve panic-buying a sad scented candle at 4:45pm on Christmas Eve.

What Happens When You’re The Preferred Parent
Ever feel like your little one has a favourite? You're not alone! Parental preference is totally normal and super common, whether you’re basking in the glory of being the “chosen one” or dealing with the sting of being second pick. Kee and Kelly will share their personal experiences, feature stories from Sh*tters (or confessions from the chosen one, if you will), and provide plenty of practical tips to help you and your co-parent navigate this together.
