Show Notes
Welcome back to the Jinger and Jeremy Podcast! I have my sister Joy on the pod for an honest, funny conversation about motherhood, parenting fails, and everything in between. We swap hilarious stories about their kids (a diaper left on a car roof, toddlers climbing furniture, and Gideon's "Dear Diary" adventure), open up about the parts of motherhood that surprised us most (hello, patience lessons), and get real about what's actually harder, and easier, than we expected.
You'll hear our honest takes on baby carriers vs. strollers, why we skip the diaper bag, our favorite baby product hacks (the Doona and our go-to stain remover), overrated baby products and viral parenting trends (looking at you, toddler chefs), sleep training struggles, extended breastfeeding, and how we balance routine with flexibility for our kids. Whether you're a new mom, a mom of multiples, or just love real talk about the chaos of raising littles, this episode is packed with relatable stories, practical tips, and plenty of laughs.

More from Call Your Sister with Joy & Jinger
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking about moving out for the first time. Neither of us went to college, so most of our “learning to live on our own” happened inside marriage, and we’re sharing all of it.
Hey guys, it’s Jinger! This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking about our first heartbreaks. Joy hasn’t had a classic heartbreak story, so she turned the tables and interviewed me. We start with our first crushes and Joy’s story of sitting through Austin’s plans to ask another girl out when she was 16, and how she tried to be supportive while hoping it wouldn’t work out.
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all things learning to drive. We grew up in Arkansas, where you can get your permit at 14 with a quick written test, and our dad taught us to drive long before any of that. We started on the weed eater, worked up to the lawnmower, then moved on to the golf cart and ATV, and eventually got behind the wheel of a car.
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all things weddings — the details nobody remembers but felt huge in the moment, the stuff we'd actually change if we could do it again, and the behind-the-scenes reality of getting married while being filmed for TV.
This week on Call Your Sister, Joy and I are talking all about sibling rivalry and what it was actually like growing up together in a house full of kids. We get into some of our favorite (and funniest) memories — like Joy's infamous fight with our brother over the school computer, and her reputation as the sibling who'd get talked into doing things she probably shouldn't have. Joy also owns up to being the one who body-slammed and pranked our brothers a little too much growing up!
