quality time

As the leaves turn and we embrace the cozy comforts of fall, I'm here to warm your hearts with stories of love, laughter, and the little ones that turn our worlds upside down. It's Nikki from Small Town Big Mouse, and today's episode is a beautifully woven tapestry of life's unexpected surprises. We honor the memory of a beloved friend and welcome his vibrant niece, Autumn, into our fold. Journey with us as we crack open the door to her love story with Tina, a tale that proves romance can be found in the most serendipitous of encounters - even if it begins with a mistakenly sent nude text!

Parenthood is an expedition filled with unpredictable twists, superhero serenades, and the occasional roadside meltdown, but it's these moments that stitch together the fabric of family life. Tackling the trials with a toddler in tow, we explore the hilarity that ensues when life throws you a curveball, and you've got to improvise a lullaby on the fly. We also address those stubborn myths about lesbian parenting, proving that our families are as diverse and loving as any other, with every rainbow and butterfly moment earned through the trials and triumphs of motherhood.

Closing out this heartwarming episode, Autumn quips about her day-to-day with Tina, sharing the symphonic balance between her calm and Tina's passion. Our candid chat reveals the inner workings of their marriage, inspiring laughter as we fantasize about running a farm - though who would actually wrangle the chickens remains a playful debate. Autumn steps into the spotlight, ready for more candid confessions in future chats, and together we celebrate the incredible family we've built through the bonds of this podcast. So come, laugh with us, shed a tear or two, and don't forget to connect with us on social media - your stories and voices are the lifeblood of our community.

This week Chloe & Steph chat to Amelia Davatzis (22:00), also known as a glimpse of Amelia,  a product reviewer-brand researcher-home detoxer-dot connector who is inspiring us & guiding us to a healthier, lower tox life. 

Before we spoke to Amelia we shared some reflections and feedback from last week's only child chat, discuss Valentine's day (is romance dead?) and give you your weekly astro update and card pull guidance. 

- Chloe and Steph's perspectives on Valentine's Day and how it can be reframed as a day to focus on self-care, romance, and loved ones beyond just romantic partners.

- Suggestions they shared for showing love through acts of service, quality time, physical touch, and gifts based on each person's love languages.

- An astrological overview from Chloe about the lunar new year, new moon in Aquarius, Mars and Venus entering Aquarius in February, and how these influence relationships and emotions.

Some key takeaways from part one of our chat with Amelia include:

- It's never about the brand, It's always about the ingredients

- It's not about being perfect, its about small changes you can make throughout your day that can make a big difference overall.

- Amelia's experience starting a low-tox Instagram page during the pandemic as an outlet and how it grew a community interested in her knowledge and guidance.

- Specific toxic chemicals like BPA, phthalates, Teflon, and "forever chemicals" that accumulate in the body.

- Tips for reducing mold like using vinegar or clove oil instead of bleach, finding moisture sources, and proper ventilation.

- The importance of informed choices and accessibility of information.

- Tips for reducing toxins through water filtration, choosing eco-friendly cleaning and personal care products, avoiding plastic where possible, and properly removing mold.

- Reducing endocrine disruptors by avoiding plastic where regularly used and making homes safe spaces was a priority.

We decided to spring board off of a comment Blake made on the last episode. What in your marriage are you viewing as something that is failing to make you happy, when really, it is designed to make you more holy?

This discussion went way into the weeds as the Fields and the Carters work through some miscommunication, understanding each other's love languages and how we still get it wrong. BUT...we are learning and these things are causing us to grow. 

We hope you listen and see what really conversation and working through conflict and misunderstanding looks like.
