Whether it's the doctor's, a store, or a restaurant, eventually you'll have to pack the kids up and take them out. There are so many learning curves that happen as you navigate trying to get out the door with one, two, three, or more offspring in tow. We discuss our adventures in going out with the kids, and pass on some tips from lessons we learned along the way. On this episode we sample the Bud Light Strawberry Lemonade beer, give or thoughts on the "Mommy Clip" (the big clip that can hang off a stroller for shopping bags), and give a mom shout out to MIRANDA HOBBES. Enjoy! Find us on the socials...Facebook and Instagram @dontmakemeusemymomvoice, Twitter at @momvoicepodcast, or write to us at [email protected].

Today's episode includes a few more colourful words than usual, so maaaaybe listen when the kids aren't around. Or, listen when they're around, whatever you prefer. We discuss our thoughts on swearing around the offsprings, and our own swearing comfort. There's also some bonus interviews at the end with a few of our mom friends as I get their thoughts on the subject (as well as their opinion on our drink of the week). We sample the hot drink of the summer Pink Whitney, test out bar soaps, and give our shout out to PEG BUNDY! Make sure you follow us on the socials!

Once again we take a break from talking about parenting to focus on something we love just as two fun loving BFFs....CLOTHES! Although our fashion choices may be different, we both love clothes and have seen our styles evolve through the years. We talk about our thoughts on trends, style inspirations, and where we like to purchase said items. We sample the Georgian Bay Smashed Strawberry Soda, review Gain laundry detergent, and give a shout out to BETTY DRAPER-FRANCIS. Let us know your style hits and misses, find us on Facebook and Instagram at @dontmakemeusemymomvoice, or on Twitter at @momvoicpodcast. You can also email us at [email protected]. We hope you enjoy!

'Tis the season for road trips, camping, the cottage, or hanging out in the backyard with a sprinkler...hello staycation! In this episode we talk about vacations. We reminisce about our favourite vacations when we were younger, plus what it's like to get away with kids. We'll let you in how we prepare for road trips (snacks!), and the joys of bringing kids on a plane. We sample the White Claw hard seltzer mango flavour, give our thoughts on sunscreen (spray and lotion) and give our mom shout out to the ELLEN GRISWOLD! Whatever you do for summer break we hope you have fun and stay safe...enjoy!

Welcome back to part 2 of our gabfest of mom types. This week we break down the "Workout Mom", "Career Mom", "Phone Mom", "Whiny Mom" (NOT the wine mom), "Zen Mom", and the "Free-range Mom". We sample the easy drinking Lola wine from Pelee Winery, make our own granola, and give a shout out to EMILY GILMORE!

How many times have you read an article or seen a YouTube video describing or making fun of a "Perfectionist Mom" or a "Hot Mess Mom", but at the same time you laugh at it and exclaim "OMG that is so me!". Or maybe you take quiz after quiz to find out what type of mom you are, even though you already know you're 100% a "Workout Mom". Identifying your own mom type, or knowing that your friend is mom type A and your mom type B, is something that sort of bonds all of us...because as moms we kind of all do it at one point or another. We're breaking this topic up into two parts since there are quite a few and we don't want to overwhelm you with a super long episode. We enjoy one of my favourite ciders, Tempt 9, talk about our love of Pop Tarts, and give a shout out to LORELAI GILMORE! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook at @dontmakemeusemymomvoice, on Twitter at @momvoicepodcast, or send us your thoughts via email at [email protected]. Enjoy!

Mom friends are those people in your life you share parenting experiences with, complain about life with, and drink wine and bitch about your kids with. We just understand what each other is going through and we know we can vent without judgement. Join these two mom friends as we discuss why we think mom friends are important and just our general thoughts on finding that group you can call up in the middle of the night for a favour...no questions asked. We sample wine from Pondview Winery, test out a Garnier face mask, and give our shout out to KARLA, KIKI, AMY, AND GWENDOLYN...THE BAD MOMS. We hope you enjoy! Find and follow us on Instagram and Facebook (@dontmakemeusemymomvoice), Twitter (@momvoicepodcast), or send us a message on email at [email protected]! We'd love to hear your thoughts and get suggestions on what we should talk about in future episodes.

We know we're a mom talk podcast, but we thought we'd take this episode to let our husbands reflect on their lives as dads. We ask the questions, they give us some answers...that's just how this works. There may be a bit more colourful language than you're used to...so just be prepared, but it's all in good fun! Thanks so much to Kevan and Kurt for coming on and letting us in on their dad lives. We taste "The Good Rose" by Saintly Wines, Kevan reviews Old Spice deodorant and Kurt reviews his Dewalt leaf blower, and finally our dads give their shout outs to PHIL DUNPHY AND DANNY TANNER! Happy Father's day to all the men out there helping to make our awesome little people grow into amazing adults!

Remember when you used to play video games and you got excited when you discovered you could crouch down and run behind the scenery? No? Just me? Maybe we're Mario nerds, but that was the thing back in the day. Now it's all crazy graphics, addictive scenarios, and expensive systems. We aren't gamers, and our kids aren't super gamers, but hey, we still have an opinion on the subject...we are moms after all. We hope you enjoy our specials guests, Keaton and Lukkas (our own offspring) as they let us in on their fave game stuff. We also try out another beer by Counterpart Brewery, snack on some Lay's salt and vinegar chips, and give our mom voice shout out to CLAIRE DUNPHY! We hope you enjoy listening to our voices this week! Follow us on our socials at @dontmakemeusemymomvoice on Facebook and Instagram, @momvoicepodcast on Twitter, or email us at [email protected]. Listen to us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts!

This week we push aside talking about kids and talk about something we like...MAKEUP! We both have different relationships with eye shadow and lipstick, but in the end we both wear it. Our stories both start in the Shopper's Drug Mart makeup aisle, and now that we have jobs and money, we've upped our game to all of Sephora. Our drink of the week is Counterpart Brewery's "Better Place" beer, we review Garnier's micellar waterproof makeup remover, and give our mom voice shout out to MOIRA ROSE! You might hear my kids in the background, and if you're planning on attempting a drinking game with the number of times I say "eye shadow palette"...don't...you'll die. Just another tasty treat from us here at "Don't Make Me Use My Mom Voice"!
