Shannon enjoys the current stage that her bond with her son is at immensely. With no helper who can step in for her caregiving duties, more time is spent together with Jedaiah from walking him to school and putting him to bed. The owner of her own beauty business, Shannon has to juggle both work and mummy duties everyday. Preparing breakfast and getting Jedaiah ready for school is her first task of the day, then getting herself ready to meet the day’s first clients until the evening.

Lily works in the early part of her day, and in the late afternoon, either she or her husband will bring the children home from school. Dinner is prepared when they get home in the early evening. After that it’s time for their showers, and helping the kids clean up their own spaces before spending some time with each other before bed.
