Okay, part two is dropping NOW! You will not want to miss this wild, frankly, traumatic journey Ashley faced during the labor, delivery, and immediately post delivery she had. You will not want to miss the rest of Ashley's story. She faced multiple procedures and surgeries post emergency c-section due to the eclampsia. Yall, don't f**k with that. Listen here to get the full scoop!

Also, if you just want to give a big shoutout or a hug to Ashley, you can find her at her twin instagram handle below. Oh, and also wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Secrets lives of coaches wives is out now! Kidding but for real. In the spirit of Football season AND in celebration of welcoming their new baby girl, Blaire;  I chatted with Lauren Fishback about what it’s like being married to a college football coach and also being a mom to not only one but (now) two littles, two under two!

We talk about how her husband got into coaching, what its like to be a coach and why they travel so much, along with what its like to be the wife and growing a family when your husband has a very high level committed career.

If you’ve ever wondered what it was like traveling anywhere and everywhere based on wherever the football Gods take you and why this happens, you won’t want to miss this!

We're just over here doing big boy stuff now that my son is about to start a Mother's Day Out Program I guess?! I am fully unprepared and my momma heart cannot take it! Are we really giving up the Paci and sitting on the big boy potty now, or is it only a hoax? Only time will tell! Only see what the CDC says on what milestones 2 year olds should be hitting now. Take that how you will. Anyway, give it a listen!

I sat down with Ashley Williams who has twin boys, no IVF. This was a long one because I had SO MUCH to cover so here is part 1 of 2! In part 1 of Ashley's story, we go over how she discovered she was pregnant and then pregnant with the twins, gender reveal, and all those little moments in between. Stay tuned to hear allll about it and more!

Okay, I know we do get "real" here at Moms Only but this one is real real. I talk about my experience being first time and second time postpartum and the different feelings that came with that. If you're feeling not like yourself, maybe your newly postpartum or even not newly but postpartum again - this one's looking at you mama. Give it a listen and feel free to share!

I've been feeling a little....overwhelmed lately and to be honest. This isn't the first time feeling this way as a mom. Do you feel me? How are we doing it all? Simply put...it's tough!
