It's officially fall, y'all! And Jessica is VERY excited. We talk all things fall from favorite childhood memories, current traditions we're starting and what we're excited about. Alicia, well, she's still suffering in 100 degree heat and has anything but fall on her mind.
We're at the age where divorce is happening to our friends. It's such a hard time for those going through it and those witnessing from the outside. This week we talk about how we've helped our friends get through it. We also discuss how we get through our own difficult times in marriage. As we've all discovered, kids change you. And the state of your marriage.
This week will tug at your little heart's strings. So, get your tissues ready but we PROMISE a happy ending. Jessica's oldest friend Katie joins us to talk about her motherhood journey. From open heart surgery with her infant son to her journey through adoption for her second son. Everyone's journey to parenthood is different. But our love for our kids is our common denominator.
Alright parents, raise your hand if you give your kids screen time and leave the room. GUILTY! There are days where I freak out over too much screen time and there are days where I just don't feel like parenting. While Jessica enjoyed a weekend away with her baby daddy, I stayed back and worked. That's where I found Common Sense Media. I had the privilege to sit down with Ilana Lowery of Common Sense Media. If you don't know about this AWESOME website, well, you're welcome. Because now, I've given you all the Common Sense I can.
Growing up in the South in a not so Jewish community, we definitely stood out. We were a mixed household celebrating both Christian and Jewish holidays and now get to continue on that tradition with our families. With Rosh Hashanah & Yum Kippur right around the corner, we figured there's no better time to talk about what life has a Metha-Jew was like.
You asked and you shall receive! Our baby daddy's are on this week. What's it like to go from hot husband to hot dad?! They tell all....all that we let of course. You're in for a treat!
School is BACK! Whoooo hooooo!!!! (says every parent) And there is really only 1 person to talk to about back-to-school and that is... MERREL!!! Your favorite is back telling us everything we need to know about teachers. I mean, she did teach for...ever! Like really, it felt like forever. The do's & don'ts of being a supportive teacher, her fondest memories and the only kind of presents teachers really want.
We grew up with 4 grandparents and 1 great-grandma. Something we didn't take for granted. The one and only Nanny is all we have left. We just celebrated her 90th birthday & she's not going anywhere anytime soon. If you know us, you know Nanny. Listen as you meet the oldest child around, Mrs. Betty Jean aka your Nanny.
What goes in must come out. "It" just so happens to be a huge a$$ baby. This week we dive into our birthing stories. One of us had a playlist with lavender oils and scented candles for our birthing plan. The other needed a Xanax just to walk into the hospital. Birthing plan?! HA! Just get this thing out of here!
Let's be real, we all want that hot bod after baby. While some of us (ahem Jessica) get that hot bod back, some of us don't. And that's okay! This week, we have Jessica's expertise as a personal trainer and health advocate to talk us through REAL expectations on getting our post baby body back.
Summer time fun time! But how do you have fun every, single, day with kids?! This week we talk about how we've kept our heads up to entertain our kids, while not going broke in the process.
Everyone thinks that having kids isn't going to change us "that much" BS! Everything changes and then some. This week, we talk about the biggest changes we've from Wife to Mommy and how we are still trying to balance the two. Can you?!
As annoying as kids can be, they can also be just as funny. Our kids will come up with these lines that have us cracking up. So we thought we'd share some funny moments with you this week by asking our oldest some far out there "what if" questions. Sit back and enjoy the laughs!
The old saying goes "It takes a village" is really ringing true to home these days. We're lucky enough to still have our village moms around to guide us in our mom journey. This week we get to introduce you to the Village mom herself, Yvonne Iduate. Get ready for some laughs and reminiscing.
We are Daddy girls. There is no denying that. I mean, we still call him Daddy as grown adults! We are so excited to introduce our Daddy to you this week. We talk about what it's like raising girls, living the Estrogen Castle and how he really played us growing up in life. Happy Father's Day to ALL you dad's out there!
We're all guilty of spoiling our kids. We want the best for them! But when it comes to the birthday parties, how much is too much? This week we dive in to how much we actually spend on the birthday parties, presents, to goodie bag or not to goodie bag and why we're trying to keep up with Pinterest.
We are all looking forward to getting out this summer. Especially after this crazy year we just survived. But traveling with kids....can you prepare enough?! Start by listening to us as we talk about traveling with our kids. From first flights with our littles, must needs when traveling with kids and our favorite travels items for packing. Of course we got some good "life lessons" thrown in there too.
Anyone with a sibling knows all too well about sibling rivalry. This week, we discuss our own sibling rivalry from little kids to adulthood. Does it ever really stop?
As a new mom, we are overjoyed with this new bundle of neediness. We are recovering from birth, tired from lack of sleep, feeding something so tiny non-stop all the while our hormones are going nuts-so in our body. So much happening at the same time, do we even realize how we're doing? This month is Mental Health Awareness month and Alicia and Jessica discuss their own mental health after having kids. Were we really okay?!
We all have drama in our lives whether we want to admit it or not. And let's be real, mama drama is the worst! This week Alicia & Jessica talk about Alicia's love for mom groups, overdoing it on the school volunteering and how to deal with mama drama in it all.
