Moms, it’s finally 5pm. It’s been a long day, you’ve worked hard. Lets unwind and head to the Witching Hour shall we!? Oh, what’s the the witching hour? Well it’s *just like * happy hour except that instead of beer and LOLs with your friends, it’s inconsolable crying with your baby, mind numbing exhaustion, uncooked food and no end in sight! Yes, this week we dig in to the darkest time of day:the witching hour, which affects children ages 0-12yrs from the hours of 4~12am for roughly 10 months a year. NBD!

Welcome back mamas!! We missed you! We hope that you all had wonderful summers. And if you spent 768 hours preparing to take your kids to the beach only to have them bug you for a snack / a shit /a nap /the iPad as soon as you lathered the reef-safe sunscreen on, WE.FEEL.YOU.

This week we ask : are we turning into our parents. GULP. Are we making the same mistakes they did, or making our own brand new mistakes? Both?! What will our kids say about our parenting? Yikes.

And as ever, some unforgettable fails. And nails. But duh mostly fails. Welcome to season FIVE!!

Me gazing at a photo:

Can you believe that was only 2 years ago?!? It feels like a life time ago! She was so young!!! And so cute! She’s grown so much, she’s so much bigger now! I miss that phase!

My husband:

Oh you lookin at pics of the kids ?

Me:

Nope. Pics OF MYSELF BEFORE I BEGAN TO SPEED AGE!!!!

Seriously WTF. This week we celebrate turning 100 episodes, by discussing how we were just going along aging totally normally, and all of a sudden we are sleep -deprived ancient hags with sagging boobs, hollow eyes, and that’s on a good day. Please don’t tag Roldan + Fields.

Thanks for the best season ever mamas! we will miss you this summer! See you in the Fall ❤️❤️❤️

Wine not ??

Pour yourself a refill and listen up. This week we are talking about moms + booze. Do we need it /earn it /deserve it as overwhelmed women looking to take the edge of during our kids’ live-stream, real-time paw patrol plot breakdown, or is something darker going on? And Kate drops some Claritin Jr and gets CRAZY.

Shout out to the father's out there !

You know how we lie awake at night and worry that we’re not doing enough for our kids? This week we discuss an alternate truth: we’re doing *way too much* for them.

From chores to homework to relationships to activities, are we making this whole childhood gig too easy for them instead of preparing them for the shit show of adulthood?!? As always : it turns out we are doing it wrong. 🙄 and Sarah comes at us with a Wednesday update. 😾

This week we are talking about the tech we can’t live without. We use one app to get around, one to shop, another to shop, one to budget, one to sleep, one to get odd jobs done, one to shop, one to make friends, one to stalk friends, one to shop, and then one to sleep cuz wow all that convenience was stressful af. And so many fails!

There are just not enough hours in the day for family, career, rest, relaxation, a 5mile run, hobbies, health, a spin on the stationary bike, therapy, surfing, a chiropractic adjustment, the game, a hot shower, a smoothie, and a score at an estate sale. Unless...unless you’re our husbands. This week we are talking about husband self care. How do these wizards conjure the time for all this guiltless self care?? Hint: what we ask and plan for, they take without hesitation. So which one of us is blowing it , really!? Plus join us for Manners Camp! Molly has the mind game you need to play alllll summer!

Join us for a ride in our disgusting, trashed, vomit-stained, goldfish dust, coffee -cup car nightmares. This week we are talking about our cars after kids. Just like our bodies, our brains, our houses, and our sanity: they’re garbage now. We may be the ones behind the wheel, but these kids are driving us f*ckin crazy. And Sarah fills us in on how Wednesday is doing. We know you’re on the edge of your juice-stained seats.
