#459 No Point Crying Over Spilt Juice Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Today Justin and Kylie have a chat about something that blew up on the socials.

When we shared the video on the Happy Families page, it blew up with some people being so happy while others were so upset about what was going on.

It was the video of a little girl pouring juice but making a big mess! But it was also a video about giving a child the opportunity to grow; often it's through making those mistakes, and making the big mess that goes along with it a real difference.

You can watch the video here.
