No, seriously if 2020 taught us anything, its the fact that the world can shut down at anytime. When the world opened up so did airlines and the passport books. While listening to this episode go ahead and starting planning a girls trip. Whether its 2 people or 20. You have so many options to choose from a staycation, road trip, getting on a plane or going to another country. As always stay safe! But most importantly HAVE FUN!

In this episode Mommy Mia interviews her traveling friend Shakena Richards. Shakena talks about her most recent trip and some essentials needed when going on trips. She discussing the highs and lows when it comes to taking a girls trip. Also the Do's and Don'ts. So take notes and plan that much needed vacation!

Due to the pandemic, the dress code for church has changed a little bit. Now that we attend church online I think the #1 outfit is pajamas. Just remember to turn your camera and mic OFF! 

In this episode we share our thoughts how we're attending church due to the pandemic. We also talk about the "new normal" when it comes to attending church. How churches have changed since B Wills and I were younger. Ways online churches reach the younger generation. We are not pushing religion onto anyone. We were both raised in a Christian household and wanted to compare our experiences from pre-pandemic to "the new normal". 

A question that was asked during this podcast "Do you think that online churches are here to stay?" 

What do you think?

As always ENJOY, this podcast and share with a friend!

So quick question, how many of you can play spades? Did you raise your hand? If not, I have the perfect family friendly (or not) card game. On this episode we had the greatest time interviewing Lanee Higgins. Lanee and her husband created a card game based on insults. If you are looking for a new game for game night pick up this game which you can create the rules as you go. Did I mention this is a black owned card game? So when you finish listening to this episode purchase a deck for yourself and a friend. Take a photo and tag @winsults!

How to Play:

Winsults is the dangerously fun insult card where the object is to win by insulting your opponent. Once you draw a letter card from the deck you have 45 seconds to come up with as many insults as you can starting with the letter you drew. Then your opponent draws their letter and their 45 seconds begins. The player with the most insults wins the round, and the best two of three rounds wins the game.

You can purchase Winsults on  (https://www.winsults.com/) or  Winsults on Uncommon Goods (https://www.uncommongoods.com/product/winsults-roasting-card-game)

Winsults - Say what you really mean

2020 was the year for "Social Distancing" and "Wearing Masks". So that meant spending alot of time at home by yourself or with family or your spouse. There were some that took up a hobby, learned how to make banana bread or tried to go viral on Tik Tok. Then there is a small percentage of women (myself included) who didn't social distance from their spouse. While some people were praying for negative COVID tests, some women were seeing POSITIVE pregnancy tests. 

With all that being said, in this episode we wanted a fresh take on pregnancy since the world is "semi" opening back up. We sat down and talked to Whitney Pressley who is a newlywed. She is also expecting her first child this September. We wanted to see the differences in Momma Mia's pregnancy in 2020 to Whitney's in 2021. 

No two pregnancies are the same so we just wanted to highlight the highs and lows of creating life.

In this episode I had the honor of interviewing my friend Shavon Mullen. As a mother of 4 and 3 of them being girls I guess you can say Shavon has this hair thing oiled an deep conditioned. I picked Shavon's hair (brain) for some tips and tricks when it comes to natural hair. So if you're thinking of doing the BIG CHOP or need help with buying the right products for your hair. We hope this episode helps you out. Enjoy and share with a friend!

On this episode we will be discussing our everyday schedules as a Stay At Home Mom and a working woman. 

As women we ALL are tired no matter your occupation or how many kids you have. Our days maybe long but remember to take some time for yourself!
