    This week we talk pregnancy after 40: the reasons, the risks and the rewards. I share my own experiences as well as go on a fact-finding mission regarding the things I don’t have a lot of knowledge about...apparently I don’t know everything (who knew??).  


    I'd love to hear your thoughts on this or any of the other episodes.  I can be found:

  • Elf on The Shelf: Yay or No F@cking Way?

    This week we talk Christmas traditions, old and new,...including those devil elves on the shelf (you can tell which side of the fence I'm on) and just how different this year looks from years past.  It's a little fun and a lot festive.

  • Siblings: Friends or Foes?
    Growing up an only child, I certainly had some preconceived notions as to what having siblings looked like and how incredible that would be.  I realize now that I had NO clue what it was like to have multiple kids. Even watching my friends growing up with their siblings and as an adult, my friends with their kids....ZERO idea. Today I share with you my eye-opening adventure to date with my kiddos and some pretty cool shit I've learned along the way.
    Forward any questions or comments about the show or anything else you may want to ask me by shooting me an email at [email protected] or send me a DM on my Instagram page @nunchucks_and_ponytails.  I'd love to hear from you!!  Who knows, YOUR question could end up being my next episode!
