POP THE BUBBLY... WE HIT A GOAL!

Episode 16 is a little different because we're celebrating! When we started Moms Against Mommin, we set a few milestones for ourselves, and we officially hit one. So naturally...we're popping a bottle of champagne.

In Poppin Bottles: Checkpoint #1, Tasha and Casey are checking in on this wild little podcast adventure so far. We're talking about our favorite moments, what we've learned along the way, what has surprised us, what we want to do next, and some of the fun takeaways we definitely didn't see coming.

We're also spilling the truth about what actually happens behind the scenes to get an episode from an idea in our heads to your headphones.

This one is part celebration, part behind-the-scenes, part "how the heck did we get here?" and a whole lot of gratitude for the MOMSQUAD that has been listening, watching, sharing, commenting, and growing right along with us.

One checkpoint down. Plenty more bottles to pop!

Episode 15: Trash Tips & Questionable Wisdom

Parenting advice is everywhere, but let’s be real… some of it belongs in the trash.

This week, we’re diving into Trash Tips & Questionable Wisdom, where we’re rating the parenting “hacks” we’ve heard, tried, ignored, and maybe secretly swear by.

From letting toddlers choose between two options, skipping bath night, and bribery snacks at Target, to charging stations for teens, letting them redo chores when they’re done wrong, and accepting that sometimes silence is suspicious… we’re deciding what’s Trash, Mid, or Tea.

PLUS, we’re sharing some of YOUR tricks for tricking your kids, including a few that are so questionable they might actually be genius.

And because we clearly needed more chaos, we’re answering listener polls about our most-used parenting survival tactics, the sounds that send us straight into overstimulation, our toxic cleaning traits, and our current mom-era aesthetic.

Cocktail of the Week: The Trash Tip Tini

One part motherhood, two parts mayhem, shaken over ice. Because naturally.

So grab a drink, lower your parenting standards to a comfortable level, and come hang with us. Some advice is solid. Some is questionable. And some? Straight to the trash.

Episode 14: Chore Wars

Should kids get paid for chores… or is living in the house payment enough? This week, we’re heading straight into the battlefield of chores, allowances, laundry piles, disaster bedrooms, and asking our kids 47 TIMES to do the thing they already know they’re supposed to do.

We’re debating whether paying for chores teaches kids the value of money or creates tiny employees, whether parents should redo a chore when it’s not done our way, and at what age kids should start taking responsibility for laundry, cooking, cleaning, and managing their own spaces.

We’re also sharing the systems that actually help keep our houses somewhat functioning, from chore charts and rewards to Greenlight, Skylight, reset days, rotating responsibilities, and the glorious “you want extra money? Here’s the dirty-duty list.”

And because no mom has ever stared at a poorly loaded dishwasher and felt completely normal about it… we’re asking the important question: Are we teaching our kids responsibility, or are we still managing the responsibility for them?

This episode’s cocktail: The Chaos Colada
One sip closer to pretending the laundry folded itself.

Grab a drink, ignore “the chair” covered in clothes, and join us for Chore Wars… because apparently keeping tiny humans alive wasn’t enough. Now we have to teach them to clean up after themselves too.

Episode 13: Back-to-School Burnout

Summer freedom is officially coming to an end, and ready or not… it’s back-to-school time!

In Episode 13, we’re sipping on a First Bell Freeze and talking about everything that comes with getting these kids back to school. Are we counting down the days or crying at the bus stop? Are we prepared weeks in advance or panic-buying school supplies the night before? And why does getting multiple kids ready for a new school year suddenly feel like a small financial crisis?

We’re talking school supply lists, new clothes, sports physicals, Back-to-School Nights, school fees, new routines, packed lunches, homework, and ALLLLL the information we’re somehow supposed to remember. Then the SignUp Genius emails start rolling in and you know it’s official… school is BACK.

But as much as we complain about the alarm clocks, packed calendars, morning rushing, homework, and becoming full-time Uber drivers again, there’s something pretty great about getting everyone back into a routine. So are we ready to trade slow summer mornings and spontaneous fun for schedules and structure? Or are we already missing summer freedom?

Grab a drink and join us as we say goodbye to summer and attempt to get our lives back together for another school year… because sometimes we just can’t.

Episode 12 Part 2: Are We There Yet… Yet?

We had way too much to say about family vacations to squeeze it all into one episode! So grab another Airport Aperol Spritz and join us as we continue chatting about the highs, lows, laughs, and legendary moments that come with traveling as a family.

In Part 2, we’re sharing the vacation moments that stick with us long after the suitcases are unpacked. From unexpected favorite memories and family traditions to vacation mishaps that somehow become the stories everyone talks about for years, we’re celebrating the chaos that makes family trips unforgettable.

Then we tackle the part nobody wants to talk about… the trip home. You know, when you’re exhausted, the snacks are gone, everyone is cranky, and the mountain of dirty laundry waiting at home starts haunting your thoughts. We’ll discuss post-vacation reality, unpacking avoidance, returning to work, and that special kind of financial hangover that arrives after a great trip.

Of course, we’re wrapping things up with a Moms Against Mommin Rapid Fire round featuring ridiculous kid vacation requests, vacation fails, dream kid-free getaways, overpacking confessions, and the travel essentials we refuse to leave home without.

Whether you’re currently on vacation, planning your next adventure, or recovering from the last one, this episode is full of relatable stories, laughs, and reminders that sometimes the best vacation memories come from everything that didn’t go according to plan.

So refill your glass, settle in, and raise a toast:

To the memories… because it definitely wasn’t relaxing.

Episode 12 Part 1: Are We There Yet?

Vacation season is here, and we’re diving into everything that comes with family travel… the good, the bad, and the “why didn’t we just stay home?” moments.

In this episode, Casey and Tash chat about the dream phase of vacation planning, choosing destinations, setting budgets, and the vacation splurges that felt worth every penny. Then it’s time for the Packing Olympics, where moms somehow manage to pack for everyone else while forgetting something important for themselves.

We’re talking overpacking, under packing, last-minute Target runs that somehow cost hundreds of dollars, and the random things we’ve packed “just in case.” Plus, road trips versus flying, snack strategies, entertainment hacks, and the dramatic shift from vacation excitement to travel exhaustion somewhere around hour five.

And of course, we couldn’t skip Vacation Expectations vs. Reality. From picture-perfect family photo dreams to hidden fees, bad weather, long lines, and the inevitable family disagreements, we’re sharing the moments every traveling parent can relate to.

Whether you’re headed to the beach, the mountains, the airport, or just planning your next getaway, this episode is packed with laughs, relatable stories, and survival tips for making it through vacation season with your sanity mostly intact.

Grab your Airport Aperol Spritz and hit play… because the only question left is:

Are we there yet?

Episode 11: The Mid-Summer Mom Report

Summer is officially halfway over, and it’s time for a completely unofficial report card! In this episode of Moms Against Mommin, Casey and Tasha are grading everything from their kids’ attitudes and screen-time negotiations to their own patience, fun-mom energy, and ability to keep the house from looking like a camp explosion.

They’re sharing the summer wins that actually surprised them, the bucket list plans that never happened, the random expenses nobody warned them about, and the moments that had them asking, “What was I thinking?” Along the way, they swap stories about camp adventures, favorite summer memories, and the reality of juggling work, kids, and all the chaos in between.

Plus, they’re sipping this episode’s featured cocktail, The Mid Summer Meltdown… because summer is equal parts sweet, tart, and completely unpredictable.

So grab your favorite drink and join the conversation as Casey and Tasha laugh through the highs, survive the lows, and give summer the report card it deserves.

Cheers to Pinterest summers that somehow turned into drive-thru dinners.

Episode 10: The Moms Behind the Mic

You asked. We delivered.

After nine episodes of sharing parenting fails, survival tips, questionable wisdom, and plenty of chaos, we’re finally turning the microphones on ourselves.

In this episode, Casey and Tasha pull back the curtain and share the stories that made us who we are. From childhood memories and awkward teenage years to motherhood, careers, relationships, and everything in between, we’re getting real about the women behind Moms Against Mommin.

We’re talking about:

• Who we were before kids
• Who we are now
• Our families, careers, passions, and pet peeves
• What motherhood changed about us
• The habits we’d rather not admit to
• What we’re working on, what we’re becoming, and what we miss about our former selves

Plus, we’re serving up our Mic Check Mocktail and sharing plenty of laughs, stories, and unexpected truths along the way. Fair warning: there may be a few tears mixed in with the laughter as we reflect on where we’ve been, what we’ve overcome, and the women we’re still becoming.

If you’ve ever wondered who Casey and Tasha really are when the microphones are off, this episode is for you. Consider this your backstage pass to the chaos, the heart, and the personalities behind Moms Against Mommin.

Episode 9: “Summer Survival” is here and we are officially entering the chaos carousel of summer break.

In this episode of Moms Against Mommin, Casey and Tasha dive into the reality of surviving summer with kids home 24/7. From the immediate collapse of routines and screen time rules to the nonstop “I’m bored” soundtrack playing in the background of our lives, we’re talking about ALL of it.

We get honest about:
• the stress of summer camps, costs, and logistics
• trying to balance independence with worrying when kids stay home alone
• snack budget bankruptcy
• sibling fights, chore battles, and survival mode parenting
• why vacations somehow turn moms into unpaid cruise directors

We’re also sharing practical summer survival ideas including affordable activities, boredom busters, check-in systems for older kids, and ways to lower the pressure when summer doesn’t look Pinterest-perfect.

And of course… there’s a cocktail involved.
This week’s drink is “The Summer Camp Slushie” because if we survived the group text from camp counselors and the 47th snack request of the day… we earned it.

Summer may not be peaceful, organized, or aesthetic… but it can still be meaningful.

This week, Casey & Tash tackle the modern parenting circus known as screen time. The good, the bad, the “just one more episode,” and the side eyes moms give each other while secretly handing over an iPad to survive dinner prep.

From educational apps and FaceTiming grandparents to total meltdowns when the tablet battery hits 1%, the girls unpack how screens have become both a lifeline and a landmine in parenting. Casey also shares major takeaways from The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt and why today’s phone-based childhood is affecting kids in ways many parents never expected.

This episode dives into:

• screen addiction for kids AND adults

• attitude changes and post-screen meltdowns

• social media pressure and comparison culture

• hidden apps, burner phones, and online safety concerns

• the scary realities of sexting laws and digital communication

• how other countries are responding to youth social media use

• and how moms are all just trying to survive in a world changing faster than we can Google parental controls

There’s humor, honesty, uncomfortable truths, and a few moments where you may immediately want to check your child’s screen time report… and your own.

Grab your Burner Phone Bull Cocktail and join Casey & Tash for a conversation that’s equal parts hilarious, eye-opening, and painfully relatable.

“To raising kids in a world we’re still trying to understand.”
