This week, Katie and Catie are chatting all about learning—what keeps us excited about it, and what makes us want to run the other way. We talk about how we actually like to learn, what makes it feel heavy sometimes, and a few cool things we’ve picked up recently that made us go “huh, that’s interesting!” It’s a cozy convo about staying curious, finding your flow, and giving yourself permission to learn in your own way. Join us!

May is a beautiful, chaotic mess—and if you're in the thick of end-of-school activities, packed schedules, and nonstop demands, you're not alone. In this episode, we're keeping it real about what this season looks like for our families and how we’re staying (mostly) sane through it all. From color-coded calendars to mindset shifts, self-care hacks, and family rituals that keep us grounded, we’re sharing the ways we find joy, reset when needed, and try to soak in the good stuff—no matter how busy life gets.

As busy moms, feeding our families (and ourselves!) is always on our minds. In this episode, we share some of our easy, crowd-pleasing dinner ideas, as well as some new recipes we've cooked lately. We also answer a yummy rapid-fire of our favorite "girl dinners," comfort foods, desserts and more!
