We've talked about how important it is to teach our kids about setting goals and meeting them. How that feels when you hit success and the importance of it too. This week, we lived by example. And learn from our own failures and successes.
Speaking up for what's right isn't always easy. And when it comes to your kid, you don't want to be the complaining parent, the controlling parent or the un-interested parent. There's a fine line one must take for that perfect balance. This week we dive into the right way to ask for what you want.
Catch on up on how our holidays went. Santa, vacations, family traditions and NYE. 2022 went out with a BANG and 2023 started with a nap.
It's Hanukkah week! Lots of festivites, sweets and presents all around. But when you're raising your kids in a mixed relgious household, does it get too confusing for them? And should we chose a religion for our kids or let them choose on their own?
Holiday break has officaly begun and the holiday's are right around the corner. Craziness is still happening, I mean DUH! life with kids. But, we're both excited for Hanukkah to this week. We talk about our holiday parties we're throwing, Jessica's ridiciulous baking schedule and some of our favorite Chanukkah memories.
Jessica is a whole year old at the ripe old age of 36. We talk about what it's like to be in her late 30's, how she celebrated and made sure she got the exact gifts she wanted. We also dive into the holiday spirit with Elf on a Shelf and the magic of believing in Santa. It's almost over for one of our kids.
We play catch up after a week of Thanksgiving, family and travel. How much shopping happens for you compared to the family? And, how your kids aruging is actually GOOD for them. Jess, save the soap for a curse word or two.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! We hope you had a delcious day of feasting with family and friends. Tune in to hear how Alicia's handling life these days. A little crazy a little loving and a whole lot of bitching. We are truly Thankful and Grateful for each of you tuning in each week. And hope you have some good laughs as Alicia tries to release some Thanksigivng chaos and nerves.
We always want to make sure our kids are happy, living thier best lives. We, as parents, can influence them so much in life, what they eat, where they go to school, sports, friends, clothes etc. But how much is too much? When should life teach them a lesson and not us as parents. It's hard. We don't want to see our kids get their feelings hurt. We want to make sure they have the best of everything. But what lesson are they learning if we guide them too much?
Halloween is exhausting! Parties, late nights and waaaayyy too much candy. We've recovered enought to finally tell how our weekend went. From Jessica's Beetlejuice bash, Alicia's walk of shame and the 10 lbs of candy from trick-or-treating (yes, we weighed it).
Fall break has come and gone and we are so thankful. Hear how Alicia did camping (no that's not a typo) and how Jessica handled the last minute plans of her kids fall break. Hint, she didn't know about it until a 2 weeks before. We also get into reminding ourselves that while our kids are still super smart, they're only 8 and aren't all there....yet. The frustration with lack of logic!
Starting over can be scary. Especially when you have no job, no place to go and 3 little kids in tow. But staying put can be even harder. Sunnie Feedoor was a young mom who knew that getting out of her situation was the way to show her kids, and herself, what doing the right thing means. No matter how tough it may be, growth, change and most importatnly happiness is what you need to chase in life.
This week we dive in lazy parenting. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's not. We go over some of our lazy parenting moments and how it kind of bit Alicia in the butt this week.
Last weekend we went on a couples retreat. No, there was no yoga, therapy or fireside chats. It was everything but that! Tune in to hear how we handled it all.
We've talked about parenting styles in the past. But do you notice the differnce of kid 1 vs kid 2, 3, 4 in your parenting styles? This week we talk about the differences in our kids and how we mature as parents from the first to the rest. And you hear about Syndey's awesome water bottle stickers. Too much?
This week....well, it's kind of just another week. Life scheudles are starting to settle. School routines are working. And per usual, we're tired as Fu*k! Enjoy!
Alicia attended the What She Said event last week, in Scottsdale. An afternoon spent with some strong, determinded women to celebrate our accomplishments. One of the women she got to interview was @taranicolinaa Tara met her forver partner at the tender age of 19. Six years marreid and 2 kids by 25. Not the same lifestyle we were living at 25! Sit back and listen, as we learn how to see the green flags in life.
Making the decision to have a child is not always an easy choice. This week, we talk to Shannon Melton on her choice to have only one child. A reminder that sometimes we don't put ourselves first when it comes to life choices.
(side note, Alicia's audio sucks. But not the content!)
Family. We created it. We're a part of it. And while we all complain at some point about it, our extended family is who we are. Where we come from. And let's be real, NO ONE knows the crazy in your family except your siblings and cousins. This week, we talk about the importance of the extended family.
Alright parents, you made it through the summer. No more whining of "I'm bored" No more vacations needing to planned. School is BACK and it's time for those awesome, amazing, dedicated teachers to take over the daytime babysitting. Tune in as we talk about summer ending, Jessica not knowing when school starts and curriculum questions.
