Sleep training, private winery tour, and Derby baby shower - CaPower Hour S2E10 May 10, 2024

We finally started a gentle version of sleep training and it's completely changed our lives. Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula invited us out to have a private wine tour and compete against their sommelier. It was hilarious. Loryn threw a Kentucky Derby themed baby shower for her friend, which begs the age old question: how much horse is too much horse?

Are expensive baby items overpriced or worth it? - CaPower Hour S2E7 Apr 17, 2024

My Amazon storefront with our favorite items we've bought and used since Quinn was born is here.

We may not be experts, but here's everything we did with Quinn from bringing her home from the hospital, to the first few months. She's a great night sleeper and has been sleeping through the night since week 8. Did we do something right or just get lucky? We also go over some controversial baby products that we tried and will tell you what's worth the cost and what's not (in our opinion).

2 types of people: expiration dates, night owls, and gas tanks - CaPower Hour S2E6 Apr 12, 2024

Loryn and Shawn go to an influencer event in LA for the first time since they moved out of the city almost 4 years ago. There's also yet another connection to Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds. And they argue over who's who on many different "2 types of people topics" including cleaning while cooking, loading the dishwasher, how to properly install toilet paper, leaving cabinets open, food expiration dates, and more.

Choosing Quinn's name, Blake Lively knows I exist, worst hangover as new parents - CaPower Hour S2E5 Apr 05, 2024

Picking our baby girl's name was 1000x easier than coming up with a boy name. Loryn reviewed Blake Lively's cocktail line and Blake mentioned her by her nickname, so naturally, Loryn is still not over it. Shawn and Loryn also got to have their first date night out since having a baby, which was really Loryn's first BIG night out since before she was pregnant. Spoiler: worst hangover ever.

Drinking after having a baby and new parent anxiety - CaPower Hour S2E4 Mar 29, 2024

Loryn's first drink after having a baby is not what anyone expected. She also got sushi in the hospital post birth, so can we really trust her judgement?

Overcoming feelings of breastfeeding failure - CaPower Hour S2E3 Mar 22, 2024

Loryn's breastfeeding journey was not what she hoped for, and social media left her comparing herself to moms with freezers full of extra breastmilk. Raw and honest portrayal of the challenges faced by new moms trying to nurse, shedding light on the unrealistic expectations set by social media.

Biggest struggles and surprises as new parents - CaPower Hour S2E2 Mar 15, 2024

One of the biggest struggles for Shawn was just how much his life changed all of the sudden. And surprisingly, this didn't affect Loryn at all. There was a bit of a role reversal when Quinn was born. Shawn (who has lots of experience with babies) had a hard time adjusting, while Loryn (who has zero experience) found herself way more obsessed with her baby than she thought possible.

WE'RE BACK! Our unexpected birth story - Season 2 Episode 1 Mar 08, 2024

We're back with a new season and a baby! It's been a wild 4 months (how has it been 4 months already?!) and we're finally ready to talk about EVERYTHING - starting with the birth story. Loryn went 6 days past her due date and despite eating tons of Taco Bell (thanks, Internet), baby Quinn wasn't budging. Until she was...

Pumpkin spice themed baby shower, showing our baby on social media | CaPower Hour | Ep 17 Oct 05, 2023

Loryn had an epic pumpkin spice themed baby shower, and with just about a month left, we're feeling the pressure to get everything done around the house before baby's arrival. We get a lot of questions about whether or not we'll show our baby on social media, and we examine how we feel about it. Shawn reveals what he think he'll be better at when it comes to parenting, and Loryn is thrilled with his revelation.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce theory, maternity vs. paternity leave, and an update on our couch fire disaster | CaPower Hour | Ep 16 Sep 27, 2023

Everyone's talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce this week and we are no exception! Shawn's all for it, while Loryn has different feelings. Speaking of superstars, N*SYNC had a helluva a week, and Loryn learned the story behind Justin Timberlake's infamous pronunciation of the "It's gonna be me." We also get into the frustration that is maternity vs. paternity leave, and why everyone expects Shawn to return to work immediately, but not Loryn. This week's "I Just Found Out" involve a fun fact about Cheetos, and how giraffes test for ovulation (they test for ovulation?!)

Birth class, picking a doula, couch fire, and southern vs. midwest slang | CaPower Hour | Ep 15 Sep 20, 2023

We went to an 8-hour birth 101 class and survived. You know what didn't? Our new couch. The sleeper sofa we JUST bought for our parents' to use once baby's here caught fire at the store before we picked up. Speaking of hot messes, we quiz each other on southern vs. midwest slang, and Loryn deals with a prenatal massage scam.

Our marriage language, baby name hints, and what made Loryn cry this week? | CaPower Hour | Ep 14 Sep 13, 2023

There's a hilarious trend going around where couples are revealing the most embarrassingly cringey things they say in their relationship, and we had to bring up a few of our own. Shawn almost gives away our baby's name, so we decide to drop a new hint each week to see if anyone can guess it. Busch Light dropped a pumpkin brew (sort of), we learn more amazing Australian slang, and there's a new segment called "What made Loryn cry this week?" And yes, it's as irrational as it sounds.

Favorite places to travel together, first drink after baby comes Aug 09, 2023

There are 2 types of people while traveling: the planner, and the one who goes with the flow. We're gearing up for our baby moon in Hawaii this week, and blindly ranking 5 cities/countries we've been to together. It's also time to start thinking about what Loryn's first drink is going to be after she gives birth, and if we should start a bidding war on it (kidding...unless...?)

Drinking in your 20s vs. 30s, Taylor Swift lyric controversy, and mispronounced Irish baby names Jul 12, 2023

Loryn survives her first major holiday (4th of July) sober, which gets us thinking about how drinking in your 20s is so different from your 30s. Speaking of things that make us want to drink, we discover how ridiculously expensive baby strollers can be. Speaking of the word "speak", Taylor Swift just dropped her re-recorded album "Speak Now" that has sparked some controversy over a lyric change. And our baby-naming saga continues, this time with mispronounced Irish names.

Misheard lyrics, boozy baby names, and White Claw's baby gift Jun 28, 2023

We went to a Blink-182 concert and they have one of the craziest misheard lyrics of all time. Shawn wore matching swimsuits with 14 dudes in Vegas while Loryn got to go on the field at the Padres baseball game for Harry Potter night. White Claw sent Loryn a baby gift, which got us thinking about booze-themed baby names. It was a busy week!

First sober wedding, weird pregnancy cravings, and Harry Potter baby names Jun 21, 2023

Loryn experienced a first this week - going to a wedding sober - and it was a doozy. We also had our anatomy scan and the baby is measuring the size of a White Claw! We asked our followers for weird pregnancy cravings they had, and boy (or girl) did they deliver! Bar of soap, anyone? And since we still don't know the gender, we bounce around more baby name ideas - this time Harry Potter themed.

Two types of people: the one with 1,000 friends and the one who hates everyone Jun 14, 2023

Every extroverted husband has an introverted wife. Ever since a video from Shawn's birthday went viral for the wrong reasons, Loryn hasn't been able stop thinking about how Shawn is the friendliest person she knows. He's been a groomsman countless times, and don't even get her started on the number of group texts he's a part of.

Our first date, and bad date horror stories May 31, 2023

It's been 10 years since Loryn and Shawn's first date, which is really more of a 3-day saga. Despite an odd start, it turned out great for them, unlike some other horrible first dates they've both been on. They also bring up a debate that has plagued their relationship: the flat sheet. Necessary? Or completely useless?
