A For Effort

In this Mama Trauma episode we'll discuss all those events in parenting that in the moment were horrific and traumatic. But with some time, hopefully now we can look back on and laugh. For those of you who are queezy, there is the mention of poop and puke. Some references to a bidet, road trip and piano keys... will probably leave you squirming in your seat- we definitely were!

Unless your home is in perfect harmony at every moment of the day, you’ll know exactly what we're talking about. The creativity (mixed with a little bit of spite) in your submissions did not disappoint.

This episode has two parts! In the first, we cover popular celebrity couples and vote on who we love the most! It's not a popularity contest, but it kinda is;) In the second part, we asked the listeners who they best relate to OR aspire to be on the silver screen. The submissions are in! And not to spill the beans, but Bluey and his family make a big appearance....

If you live on this planet at any time, in any place and occasionally leave that place, you are the perfect candidate for some free advice. Sorry, we know you didn't ask for it, but you're definitely getting some. And when it leaves you speechless, but you also just need to tell someone about it, we are your ladies. We have received the unsolicited advice, we have digested it for you, and we have reacted. And BONUS, we even give you clear guidelines on things that you should NEVER give advice on. You're welcome;)

This two part episode will put to bed all those random parenting questions you've asked yourself but have never asked anyone else, maybe not even Google. Like, have you wondered if other parents don't use wipes when changing a *wet* diaper? Or have you wondered whether you should call poison control after your kid ate the entire jar of gummy vitamins, AND you were just too embarrassed to even Google it? Well, we Googled it for you AND we asked 100 other parents, and we hope the results will bring you feelings of comfort and validation. Sweet, sweet validation....

In this episode we come together as a community of caregivers and validate each other in the daily little white lies we tell to get through the day. Or if your one of those people who tells the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth... the we are here to applaud you (Megan is clapping especially loud)! So let's find out what you are lying about...
