Country Mom

Six-thousand pink pumpkins arrived overnight in a pop-up pumpkin patch at Baton Rouge General as part of the hospital’s breast cancer awareness campaign promoting annual mammograms for women 40 and over. This event hits close to home for me because my mother is a breast cancer survivor.

In this week's episode of the Country Mom podcast, we talk about what's new with our family. We are STILL sick. That's the downside of having all of the kids in daycare; we are always sick. We also talk about how are kids will not match at all this Halloween nor will be follow a theme #MomFail. We also talk about the Smiths. The question was asked if Granger and his wife Amber will have anymore children after River's passing. We talk about that uncomfortable topic on this week's podcast.

One country mom (who we always talk about) opened up to me when I met her and said she too has things she is insecure about. We also talk about a story that has hit the internet where a husband told his wife, you either breastfeed or go back to work. YIKES! On the topic of breastfeeding, my grandmother scared my father when I sent him somewhere to do this... tune in to find out everything we talk about on this week's Country Mom podcast!

On this week's episode of the Country Mom podcast, MJ, my husband and I talk about what one husband did that we think is grounds for divorce (not seriously, of course). We also talked about what one mom had to go through after leaving a hospital. We also talk about just how hard it is to get in shape and recovery mentally & physically after giving birth. One country mom, Brittany Aldean is learning about that all to well!

On this week of the Country Mom Podcast, as we remember 18 years later - 9/11, my husband shares his story. He was late getting to work delivering bonds to the World Trade Center that morning. My husband almost wasn't my husband. We also talk about more baby news in the country world: Brantley Gilbert has a new bundle of joy! Let's catch up on another week of the Country Mom Podcast.

On last week's episode of the Country Mom Podcast, my husband and I were anticipating a big day. What did we decide to do?!

It's also 'okay' to say the newborn/infant phase plain sucks. The kiddos are cute, but the never sleeping/screaming part is hard. We talk about it all in this week's Country Mom podcast. We were back at the emergency room for the 3rd time in the past month. We also talk about how once the kids do grow up, we will miss this season, it's just hard now. Also, we talk about America's favorite chore..... favorite chore? Sounds brutal! Tune in to this week's Country Mom Podcast.

Our world got a little wild this past weekend with two emergency room trips. My husband and I also talk about how one country star is about to go from a family of two to three, and how hard the transition can be for not only the littles but for the parents!

Last week on the Country Mom podcast with me, Brittany, I forgot to tell my parents about a HUGE life event with the twins. We even had to go back to the NICU which raised my anxiety. It's true what they say about NICU PTSD. In this season of busy mom, busy wife & busy life, I reflect on how these country moms do it all like Carrie Underwood. How does she REALLY do it all and look that good?

In this week's episode of the Country Mom podcast, my husband joins me again on the mic to re-cap our toddler's birthday party which went better than expected corralling older and younger kids. We have a new voice who will be joining us on the mic, MJ, who is mom to older kids. She talks about the season that all parents are ready for, but it's no joke it is stressful: back-to-school season.
