We also want to thank Blue Dot Session for all of our theme music!! 

 Being a Mom is hard, SO hard. We need more love, support and help through this journey and less negative, shaming and division for moms! In this episode, we are talking about social media, the different types of moms and those hot topics that tend to bring the conflict which tend to divide us.

Thank you Blue Dot Session for the wonderful theme music!

 “Did that really just come out of my mouth?” Yeah, we've all had that thought as a Mom. We have some submissions from fellow boy moms in this episode of things we say… but wish we didn't have to.

Big thanks to our music composer, Blue Dot Session. 

In the spirit of Spring Break, we decided to talk about what most might consider a girly vacation… Disney. We are pleased to tell you otherwise! In this episode, we give you our perspective of how Disney is SO for boys. To be honest the episode could have been hours, but Denecia wrangled herself in!

Thank you Blue Dot Session for our great music. 

 We've all turned our back for that split second and turned back to find chaos. Kids are notorious for breaking things, coloring on anything but paper and destroying precious valuables. In this episode we share stories of just that and here's why: hopefully you can find solidarity in knowing you are not alone!

Thanks as always Blue Dot Session for our wonderful music. 

 The lads we are raising have different body parts, they go through different changes, have different urges and are doing so in a different time than we did. Our job, as moms, is to help them through all the changes, decisions and responsibility that is coming their way. We hope to help you arm you with some tools for starting these talks early and keeping that communication open.
