It's our Moms in the Trenches one-year anniversary! Thank you so much for joining us on this journey, and Happy Mother's Day to all the mamas doing their very best.

Today, we explore the science and our personal feelings behind letting our children believe in fictional characters.

We're sharing the products and life hacks that made or make our lives easier.

We're finally out of the birthday party planning throes. From our own experiences growing up to what we do for our kids, we take you through our mindsets as we plan and execute these celebrations.

It's a little bit of a slow one this week as we adjust and talk about wintertime sicknesses. From ourselves to our husbands to our children, we discuss some of our go-to remedies for when we're all down and why we hate it so much.

Happy Valentine's Day to our listeners! We wanted to share what we love most about motherhood and how being mothers has changed the way we love ourselves and those around us.

Social media influencer Lindsey Gurk helped popularize the phrase "Get your pink back," meaning rediscovering yourself after having children.

Wrapping presents and wrapping up the year. Thank you to our listeners for getting us started on this amazing journey. Happy holidays!
