When it comes to parenting, who really knows what they’re doing? Good thing you have sisters from the same mister to laugh your way through it. I’m Alicia Haygood and I’m Jessica Thomas. Each week we’ll talk about all the ups and downs of parenting. What you can’t expect is rainbows and sunshine everyday. As we have discovered, “Momming can be pretty shitty, at times.” So, come share a laugh with us while we talk parenting, without the pretty filter.
To have a kid or not
Momming comes in all shapes and sizes. And some people chose not to be parents at all. So why does society feel the need to always ask, "So, when are you going to have a baby?!" Likes it's anyone's business. I'm excited to introduce to my good friend Lauren. She never had the urge to be a parent, and now she's pregnant. What a journey she & her husband went on to get to this decision.

Picky Eaters Beware
Do you have a picky eater at home? Does it ever go away?! We talk easy recipes and little tricks to sneak & hide the nutrients in a meal. We got through it with our littles, and still are with some days. But never give up! Sometimes, just getting food in them is all they need. Bon Appétit!

Multiples??!!! AAAHHHHHH!!!!
When you go to that first ultrasound, many parents are like us, "Please be only ONE! Please be only ONE!" This week we talk with Jessica's neighbor Lauren who started with twins and finished off her family of 5 with a solo pregnancy. Hear her take on twins first then one baby. We already knew but know if even more, damn we're lucky to not have multiples! For sure, Alicia would have lost her shit, (more than she already has)
