On this week’s episode of Between Us Moms, Katie and Hallie get real (and laugh a lot) about how often they wash their hair — and we're not sure we should have admitted this!

But that’s just the start. We dig into these hot topics:

• Sibling + Birthday Party Dilemma: Is it rude or smart to ask a parent if you can bring your other child to a party when only one child was invited? The internet is divided, and we’ve got opinions.
• Video Games & Kids’ Brains: A study of ~2,000 children found that kids who played video games for 3+ hours a day scored higher on tests of impulse control and working memory than kids who never played. We debate whether we’ll let our own kids game and where we draw the line.
• Food Dyes & Hidden Risks: Why are so many parents unaware of synthetic dyes in candy and snacks? Dyes like Red 40, Yellow 5, Blue 1, etc., are linked to behavioral issues in some kids — and we have thoughts!!
• The Biggest Longevity Predictor — It’s Not Diet or Exercise: After tracking people for more than 80 years, one of the longest-running studies found that the strongest predictors of a long, healthy life is something that might surprise you.

Tune in for laughter, honesty, and actionable takeaways on motherhood, health, and doing our best in the messy middle.
