  • When Dad's in Charge

    We know exactly how it went: you were gone for the weekend... oh, no? You were at a girls night... Oh, no? You just ran to the grocery store....  regardless, you were gone and dad was in charge!!! What's happens next? I wish we could say we're surprised, but alas, it's just par for the course. We're grateful dad is willing to be in charge, but we're also grateful for the comedic content those moments give us. Thanks, dad!

  • Birthday Parties: How do you really feel about them?

    In this episode we explore the in's and out's of a birthday party? How much should you spend on that random kids gift? Should you drop them off or should you stay? How often should you be celebrating the birthday with an actual party? We don't have any actual answers to those questions... but we do have some thoughts on just the party season in general. Maybe you'll find yourself nodding your head a time or two... HBD!

  • She said "YES!"

    Spring is here! The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping and we're talking love. Are we qualified to talk love? Absolutely not, but are we going to anyways, oh yes yes yes. Both Megan and Amanda celebrated their respective anniversaries this week and it felt like a good time to walk down memory lane and recount our personal courtships and proposals. We might even dive into some deeply introspective moments of our lives and leave with more questions than answers. In which case we might need your help!
