Planners, bullet journals (or bujo), pens, Sharpies, stickers (or lack thereof), covers, and sub-planners to keep you organized (at least on paper!)
We wax poetic about our favorites, what we don't have time for, and of course, sip on our latest lovely little libation, the Frozen Peach Bellini. Links here:

Ever wish you weren't privy to someone else's conversation? That's exactly how Danielle felt after 3 days of being inpatient. From Jeffrey Dahmer to reasons why you should hold off declaring your undying love for someone before you know all of their phone numbers, The Roommate covered it ALL. So of course, we're telling YOU. Melissa is still trying to cope with not having to run Code Blues in her office (it's a withdrawal process, y'all.)
No one likes going to the doctor (unless we're your nurses, of course). We're dropping the tips on how you can be the best patient you can be. From telling you to please wear underwear to giving you the deets on prescription assistance, we're here to make your visit not only go smoothly, but to effectively provide yourself with the best care.
That link above will help with specific medications as well as provide resources to state assistance programs!
Salt Rising Bread recipe from King Arthur Flour. These people are the best at making baking easier. Now go make some toast!
Make some toast faster here or here with these mail-order sources for salt-rising bread, or pick up Swatt Bakery's Olivia Mae Salt Rising bread and grab a loaf of LA Cinnamon Bread while you're at it.
Is it the end days? Are frogs going to be the next thing to rain from the sky? Can it please just stop raining? Can it please stop raining IN Melissa's house?
Danielle can't watch Jim Carrey but is obsessed with My Unorthodox Life on Netflix. Oh, there's plenty of time to watch TV since she's trapped at home for the time being.
Both of us got degrees after we had kids. Was it hard? Yep. Was it worth it? HELL YES! That's where we met each other! Just when you thought you had enough to juggle, going back to school as a nontrad throws some new balls into your court. When are you going to study? Oh, you have to get dinner on the table, too? Should you fill out the FAFSA? Are you going to be able to relate to kids who are young enough to be your kids? Find out all of this and more!

Recently, the actual lottery jackpot was over $500 million. Did you ever think about what you'd do if you actually won? Well, we did too, in detail.
We're still learning about parenting teens who are LGBTQ+ but what we have learned we're all about sharing with you. From the difference between sex and gender, phobic family, deadnaming, and being respectful, we're diving into some uncharted territory of our own. If your preteen/teen has made the courageous step of coming out to you (and perhaps their whole family) or maybe they're still questioning who they are, we're navigating the journey with you!

Grab a cup of coffee and join us on the back porch! We socially distanced, we survived Covid, we rant about some nursing issues that affect EVERYONE, and we'll just get caught up with you like the friends you haven't seen because we almost played The Walking Dead for reals. Come sit a spell and visit with your favorite moms!
Death by Bloody Mary Bar, farts, the ABC After School Special, and what the hell does BTS stand for?
We're talking about all the things. Kelsey B., there's not an H in your name, so we apologize for that one straight away (but we'll still pronounce it with one)
BTS stands for Bangtan Boys. No, we don't know how those initials came to be, either.
So, Danielle was thinking of the movie, "Desperate Lives" when she was talking about the ABC After School Special, but it's on the same sort of "cautionary" tale that saturated the teen TV market in the late 70s/early 80s. Enjoy Helen Hunt getting peer pressured by some dreamy dolt of a guy to try crank, and watch as she jumps through a window, unscathed. You're welcome.
Invisible laundry baskets, sleep farts, snuggling, sex, merging households, pets, and kids--cohabitating gets a lot more interesting when you're a mom.
How to install a laundry chute
*Edit: Ray and Jessica are in Jamaica, not Cancun. Palm trees, beaches. (Danielle also has no idea how old her cousins are because she has 51 first cousins.)
Danielle finally gets a break on a "romantic" weekend in a cabin, has some f*cked up dreams, nearly falls to her death, and tries to sneak up on bald eagles (spoiler alert: you can't sneak up on an eagle.)
Melissa is a Go Go Squeez addict, also went on vacation but didn't survive unscathed. We catch up in our usual manner (coffee, hilarity, and bitching about our significant others).
