A mid-week mini is where we come to you with polarizing opinions about a controversial topic and duke it out to see who wins. This week’s topic - Botox and boob jobs aka hoisting the sails.

Keeping up with the Jonses...it’s something that has plagued humanity for centuries. Why do we care about what other people have or what they’re doing? How can we learn to be content? We recap No Buy January (Ep 7) - what we learned and what we want to keep around. As always, we’d love a 5-star review on iTunes and be sure to come hang out with us on Instagram @murkymotherhood!

Find out what our (and your) biggest parenting struggles are. We asked you to weigh in and tell us what you struggle with the most. We got some great answers that helped fuel this conversation. We talk about everything from body image, to balance, to patience. Know you’re not alone! We all struggle with one aspect or another of parenting. Be sure you’re following us on Instagram @murkymotherhood so we can continue to connect!

Why in the heck is it so hard to say no?! As women, especially moms, it’s easy to get caught up in the overfunctioning game. We sign up for this and volunteer for that and by the end of the day we find ourselves exhausted and burnt out. Join us as we dive into this topic and learn how to say no together. Head over to Instagram (@murkymotherhood) and tell us what’s the hardest thing for you to say no to!

Come one, come all! No need to be a mom to relate to today’s topic. In this week’s episode we’re talking about our No Buy January challenge. What is it? Why is it important not to spend frivolously for a month? What we’ve learned, and who cheated. It’s not just about saving money; we also talk about being content with what we have, and giving away things we don’t need. Follow along on the socials using #nobuyjan2020

This week, we’re looking back at 2019. We reflect on the year, what went right, what we learned, our favorite purchase of the year, the best trip we took, and more! We’re also looking forward to the new year (2020!) and setting ourselves up for a grace-filled, victorious year.

In this week’s episode, we talk about why taking care of yourself is important, and what types of self care work for us (hello heavy metal music in a Volvo). Jen even made us set some winter break self-care goals for ourselves. As we head into the longest winter break of all time for our lovely children, self care is vital for sanity, amiright?

The holiday season is here with all of its magic, wonder, stress, and obligation. Where do you draw the line on gifts? How do you check in with yourself when you start to feel overwhelmed? We’ll tough on these topics and more in today’s holiday special.

To elf or not to elf? Does your family do Elf on the Shelf? Do you love it? Hate it? Is it just one more thing to do in an already packed season? Jen and Audrey discuss this controversial topic in the very first Mid-Week Mini.
