We’re “coffee talk” imposters (no coffee in sight), but the conversation is piping hot. Amy and Amanda riff on 23 and 15 years of marriage, savoring those late-night kid giggles, and what happens when cuddly littles turn into book-devouring tweens who choose their rooms over family movie night. We swap summer watches (yes, Hunting Wives… the smutty summer binge you cannot play with kids around), a Mean Girls rewatch, and PSA the world apparently needs: never ask if someone’s pregnant. Ever.

Then it’s back-to-school mode: why the first weeks are a total reset (let them sleep!), how middle-schoolers “hold it in” all day and emotion-dump at home, and a new slang lesson we learned from the teens—“clocking the tea.” Lower the bar, laugh at the mess, and remember: this stage won’t last forever.

In this episode:

• 23rd and 15th anniversaries, and finding your stride in marriage
• The shift from bedtime cuddles to “I’ll be in my room reading”
• Summer binges: Hunting Wives (no kids in earshot!) and a Mean Girls quote-fest
• The “are you pregnant?” office faux pas (don’t do it) + later-in-life motherhood
• Back-to-school survival: exhaustion, big feelings, and easing into routines
• Teen slang 101: “clocking the tea”

Perfect for: moms in the thick of it, parents prepping for school routines, and anyone who needs a laugh + a gentle reminder that “perfect” is not the assignment.
