Lilies and Loafers Podcast

Fatima and Brian discuss their favorite Halloween costumes, activities for the whole family, and an update to the fall foliage report.

We’re celebrating our wedding anniversary this week! Reflecting on our time together, we discussed the moments surrounding that positive pregnancy test almost three years ago. And we throw out some advice for new parents.

This week we’re discussing sharenting: the overuse of social media to document the lives of our families. We start off with a definition (02:00), the bad (09:08), the good (18:14), and the suggestions (23:46).

We’re closing out this podcast with an episode from our new podcast, While You Were Napping. In this episode, we’re talking about the significance and need for Black Breastfeeding Week. To listen to more episodes, check out, While You Were Napping.

In this episode, we’re talking about parents’ and caregivers’ mental health and the importance for taking breaks amidst this global pandemic. We’re covering all the stress that affects you and your kids (01:50), the one appointment Brian will not skip (02:48), and specific stress as it relates to parents and caregivers (05:34). PTO (15:54). Everyone loves a tip (24:57) and Brian’s favorite meme (35:38).

As black breastfeeding week winds down, Fatima talks about the significance of the movement and her experience with breastfeeding.

If you didn't get a chance to read our blog last week, then you are missing out on our some exciting news! We sat down a few months ago to talk about this life change and the events of that day.

We are so lucky to have an endless supply of cozy date night spots in New York City. However, sometimes you just want a date night in. One of our first dates (9 years ago!) was a homemade dinner. But just because you're making dinner doesn't mean it has to be boring! We're talking about our favorite date night dinner ideas for two.

Merry Christmas! In this episode, we're running through 73 questions. We hope you are entertained by our game and learn something new about us.

Do you have a favorite meal? If you can make it quick, it's already one of our favorites. We walk through how to make a fajita quesadilla, entertaining tips, and how to make a Marquisrita on the rocks. Obviously one of our favorite drinks.
