I mean, where's the lie tho? Making Mom friends is HARD. Like, nearly impossible. And trying to make/maintain friendships with those who don't have kids, is even more impossible. So, let's keep it short & sweet and just get to talkin. about it!

One thing I definitely was not prepared for as a Mom was how stressful play dates can be. They can come with A LOT. And you usually just end up playing referee among a pack of rabid toddlers the entire time. Granted, that's not every time. When a play date goes smoothly it truly is *chef's kiss* but, as we all know, they can also be a perfect recipe for a meltdown disaster. Tune in and hear us talk about all the weirdness that comes with play dates!

As someone who literally hosted her daughter's birthday party yesterday, I can tell you that kid's birthday parties sure come with A LOT. The food, the decorations, the pressure for perfection, who the hell to invite, and not to mention the MESS. As I lay here among the chaos and havoc that was reeked upon my household yesterday, I just keep asking myself-why did I bother to clean at all? And why did we order 4 Costco pizzas?!?! It was WAY too much. Join us this week as we talk about all the weirdness that comes with kid's parties. 

Potty training. Where to even begin? No, like, seriously can anyone tell me where the f*&$ to start because I am LOST. All I know is, everyone's potty training journey looks different, and there's no one size fits all approach to it, either. All kids are different, and all kids learn to go on the potty in their own time. It's time we talked about it!

Have you ever just been going about your business, enjoying conversation with someone and BAM-they hit you out of nowhere with this question? It recently happened to one of our hosts, and we wanted to share out true and unfiltered feelings around this question, and how it can make women feel. To sum it up? Stop asking women when they're having kids. Thank you.

Sometimes it feels like trying to keep things organized whilst having a child, is not only impossible but also pointless. And, as per usual we have no advice on how to make it any easier but we can certainly commiserate about how much it SUCKS. Throw a husband into the mix who refuses to put his dirty laundry actually IN the laundry basket, and it's all just downright unfair. Join us as we honestly just have a bitch fest about how much organizing is the worst. 

The amount of clothing my 2 year old has, is unseemly. The amount of clothing she had before she was even born, was borderline offensive. Trying to figure out sizes, styles, whether their onesies should have buttons or zippers (for the love of God buy onesies with zippers) ! Kids clothes comes with a lot. Like, A LOT. And this is just buying it. Don't even get us started on trying to organize it all. Well, actually it's too late and we got started on it and that's how this episode was born. Join us as we talk about all the weirdness that comes with trying to dress tiny humans, 

Both of your hosts turn 30 this year! And NGL it feels way weirder than either of us want to admit. So weird in fact that we did a whole episode on it! Entering a new decade of life certainly brings up a lot, especially as women & mothers. So join us as we talk about allllll the feelings we're feeling about turning 30. 

Ah, the unspoken weirdness that comes with enrolling your kid into some type of class. There's the trying to decide if and when they're ready for a class, what class they should take, and not to  mention the expenses that come with it. It's easy to already start to feel behind by not having your 1 year old taking soccer classes, but is there also such a thing as getting them started too early? This year we both went through enrolling our kiddos in classes for the first time, so as always, we have a lot to say about it. Join us as we talk about how weird kid's classes are!
