Get ready to embrace the chaos and dive into the crazy days of summer with Andie and Angie. Summer may be all about fun for the kids, but let's face it, it's survival mode for moms! Summer as a mom can be a lot of work since your kids are with you most if not all of the time. Plus, kids apparently are extra hungry during the summer and need to eat snacks nonstop.  Playdates, dollar days at the movies, library visits, reading, beach days, and Milkshake Mondays are activities that keep kids engaged all summer long. There is definitely an adjustment period siblings experience since they go from school and extracurricular activities to being together all day, every day. It's a whole new level of togetherness. Kids have been looking forward to summer for months. As Andie says, “The need for a break and to just rest is needed now more than ever before.” So take a deep breath, and know that Andie and Angie are cheering you on as you try to make summer as fun as possible.

In this episode, Andie and Angie continue talking about mom shame. Moms get shamed for a variety of things, including the gender of their kids (shout out to all the boy moms and girl moms out there), whether they had an epidural or c-section, and even their kids' screen time. Sometimes, the best way to handle mom shaming is with a little bit of awkwardness and a whole lot of humor. A funny comeback can magically turn a harsh situation into a positive and uplifting one. Andie and Angie introduce the "Shopping Cart Game" as a tool to distinguish between judging moms and genuinely helping them. But before jumping to conclusions, it's important to fully understand what a mom is going through. Is there a way you can support your friend instead of tearing them down? And if you find yourself needing to address something with a friend, remember to approach it with love, kindness, and a generous side of humility. Here's an encouraging reminder from Andie and Angie: surround yourself with an amazing mom tribe filled with fabulous cheerleaders who will always be there to lift you up, celebrate your victories, and cheer you on through the rollercoaster ride of motherhood.

“Stress happens. Anxiety happens.” In this episode, Andie and Angie talk about Mom Anxiety (or what they call Momxiety)! There are three types of Mom Anxiety. Some of the things that can cause Mom Anxiety include hormonal changes, lack of sleep, fear for your child's safety, and financial stress. Remember that life is life. Part of being a mom is worrying, but when the worry becomes excessive, starts to affect your mood, and/or gets in the way of your everyday life, then that’s when worry has crossed the line and becomes anxiety. Angie talks about a time she had to be hyperaware when her daughter had health issues. Going for long walks helped her deal with the stress of the situation. Andie and Angie discuss other strategies to help with anxiety including journaling, positive self-talk, deep breathing, coloring, and of course watching Bob Ross. Sometimes being aware of the stress, and how you’re feeling, can help you cope with anxiety. At the end of the episode Andie and Angie laugh hysterically as Angie explains how she tried to make her compression socks look super cool when she was pregnant. Make sure you check out Instagram so you can watch Andie demonstrate how to do the tapping technique. This episode is fun, relatable, and filled with insightful info!

Anxiety can be a way to keep us safe and protected, but it can also cause us to think or do some random things. Andie shares a hilarious story about a time she panicked on an airplane, and randomly pulled another passenger's hair. She also mentions a time she started throwing luggage at the airport.

“A lot of parenting is hiding the junk that you’re eating.” In this episode, Andie and Angie continue their conversation about self-care. How do you feel when you buy a new cookbook? Is that at the top of your self-care list? Don't worry, it's definitely not at the top of Angie's list either. In this episode, Andie and Angie discuss a list of self-care ideas including working out, meeting up with a friend, getting a pedicure, and starting a new Bible plan (shoutout Through the Word). Sometimes self-care can be as simple as drinking a cup of coffee while shopping, or watching Bob Ross (Andie's fav). When Angie was pregnant, eating KFC a few times a week was exactly what she needed to feel better!  Make sure to listen to the outtakes at the end because Andie and Angie laugh hysterically as they come up with their new secret code word.

As they say, “If you’re a mess, everybody pays.” Have you ever rushed out the door only to realize your kid isn’t wearing any shoes? Or maybe you’ve rocked an entire workout at the gym with your leggings inside out. And that’s when you know you need a little self-care. In this episode, Andie and Angie talk about how self-care is taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical health, as well as finding that overall sense of well-being. All you need to do is figure out what brings you joy, peace, and a sense of rejuvenation. The beauty of self-care is that it evolves and changes throughout your parenting journey.   Here’s the key - self-care needs to be intentional. Sometimes, you just need a well-deserved nap, a good book, a leisurely walk, or even some mindless scrolling on social media. There might be times in your very busy life when it’s better to show up five minutes late and calm, rather than on time and completely frazzled. Take a moment for yourself and embrace the chaos. You’ve got this mama!
