Moms Against Mommin

Episode 19: Pumpkin Spice & Zero Price

Fall is in the air, pumpkin spice is EVERYWHERE, and apparently making magical family memories now requires a second mortgage!

This week on Moms Against Mommin, Casey and Tasha are talking all things FALL, from cozy sweaters and bonfires to pumpkin patches that somehow turned into full-blown amusement parks with admission fees to match!

We’re diving into the pressure to make every season magical for our kids without completely draining our bank accounts. Because let’s be real… when did picking a pumpkin become a $150 family outing?!

But don’t worry, Mom Squad! We’ve got plenty of ideas for FREE or budget-friendly fall family fun that won’t leave your wallet crying into its pumpkin spice latte.

• Backyard adventures, scavenger hunts, and fall bucket lists!
• DIY Halloween fun and dollar-store-budget activities!
• Cozy movie nights, family games, and fall traditions!
• Simple ways to make memories without spending a fortune!

We’re also asking the bigger questions: Are we making memories for our kids or content for Instagram? And are we so busy trying to recreate the magic of when our kids were little that we’re forgetting to embrace who they are now?

Plus, we’re mixing up The Feral Fireball. I mean sometimes... you just need to feel the burn!

Grab your favorite fall drink, throw on that oversized sweater, and join us for laughs, relatable mom moments, and a reminder that the best family memories don’t have to come with a price tag!

Because sometimes we just can’t… afford another pumpkin patch!

Episode 18: Momsters & Mayhem

It’s spooky season, and the scariest thing this Halloween might just be… PARENTING!

This week on Moms Against Mommin, Casey and Tasha are unleashing their inner MOMSTERS and diving into all the tricks, treats, and downright terrifying moments that come with raising kids during Halloween!

From last-minute costume emergencies and disappearing candy stashes to $75 costumes worn for approximately 23 minutes, we’re talking about the Halloween chaos every parent knows a little too well.

We’re also taking a trip down memory lane to compare Halloween then vs. now, playing a hilarious round of Trick or Treat: Parenting Edition, and stirring up some controversial Halloween hot takes!

• How old is TOO old to trick-or-treat?
• Is trunk-or-treat ruining Halloween?
• Are matching family costumes cute or completely ridiculous?
• And most importantly… do parents deserve a candy tax?

Grab your favorite witches’ brew, hide your good candy, and join us for an episode full of laughs, nostalgia, questionable parenting opinions, and a whole lot of Halloween MAYHEM!

Because sometimes the real monsters aren’t under the bed… they’re the ones calling us MOM!

Episode 17: The 5 Love Languages

How do your kids know you love them? And are you loving them in the way they actually receive it?

This week, Casey and Tasha are breaking down the five love languages through the wonderfully complicated lens of motherhood: Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, Receiving Gifts, Quality Time, and Acts of Service.

We’re talking about the kids who need ALL the cuddles, the ones who light up when you tell them you’re proud of them, the ones who just want 15 uninterrupted minutes with you, and the ones who somehow consider a surprise Starbucks run a declaration of undying love.

We also get into how love languages can look completely different from one child to the next, how they change as our kids get older, and whether our own love languages affect the way we naturally show love as moms.

Plus, we’re asking the question that might hit you right in the mom heart:

If your child described your love in one sentence, what would you hope they’d say?

Grab a Love Potion No. Mom and come hang with us. Because we may not always get parenting right, but if our kids know they are deeply, ridiculously, unconditionally loved… we’re doing something right.

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.
