Hi Kate! Love your newsletters! Congratulations to Jess and fam! I just wanted to say I appreciate your links to YouTube videos instead of social since I'm not on anymore, just wanted to mention that as you were talking about sharing your guide ideas to stories and reels, hoping you'll share them in the newsletter as YT videos too! Thanks for all you do! ❤️

Woohooooo!!! Way to go, Jess!! Fellow TN homebirth mama, here and my babies also love to cook well past their EDDs and keep us on our toes. Sooo worth it though. So happy for you!

Beat on repeat is such a great addition! I am always interested in what others are listening to!

Kate Strickler's avatar

me too! It's also really fun for me to hear what the NTK team listens to!

Congratulations to Jess!

I wanted to leave a little “hack” for potato soup: we use diced hash browns in our potato soup and if you really want to level it up use the diced hashbrowns that have the peppers and onions! My husband and I are about the pickiest eaters but we tried the pepper and onion hashbrowns in our last batch of potato soup and WOW so good! It’s a great time saver too!

Dana this is genius!! Making sure Hannah sees this. Also to get the peppers and onions and not have to chop those? next level!

Congrats Jess and family!! 💜 My babies also overcook LOL. My babies who came naturally were both 41+2! (The others came by C-section 😊)

Also love the “beat on repeat” addition!

Thank you so much, Cassy!! Jess was sick the week before she gave birth and was very happy to let that baby cook a little longer!

For Jess: 5/5 of my babies were overdue 2 weeks with one being "only" 10 days past due. All huge babies too. 2 of these babies had to be induced to come out. what the heck? they loved their cozy womb. Congratulations to you!!

Thank you so much, Sandy!! I (Kate) had all 4 of mine overcook as well! Though not nearly as ginormous of Jess's babes!!

Ok that Einstein article was way above my head. Congratulations. And my babies also like to cook low and slow. Glad I’m not the only one either!

Sydney a solid 80% of what Nate reads goes right over my head...lol

It was over mine too! But I liked the Einstein line!
