Parenting Unfiltered

Halloween is exhausting! Parties, late nights and waaaayyy too much candy. We've recovered enought to finally tell how our weekend went. From Jessica's Beetlejuice bash, Alicia's walk of shame and the 10 lbs of candy from trick-or-treating (yes, we weighed it).

Fall break has come and gone and we are so thankful. Hear how Alicia did camping (no that's not a typo) and how Jessica handled the last minute plans of her kids fall break. Hint, she didn't know about it until a 2 weeks before. We also get into reminding ourselves that while our kids are still super smart, they're only 8 and aren't all there....yet. The frustration with lack of logic!

Starting over can be scary. Especially when you have no job, no place to go and 3 little kids in tow. But staying put can be even harder. Sunnie Feedoor was a young mom who knew that getting out of her situation was the way to show her kids, and herself, what doing the right thing means. No matter how tough it may be, growth, change and most importatnly happiness is what you need to chase in life.

This week we dive in lazy parenting. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's not. We go over some of our lazy parenting moments and how it kind of bit Alicia in the butt this week.

Last weekend we went on a couples retreat. No, there was no yoga, therapy or fireside chats. It was everything but that! Tune in to hear how we handled it all.

We've talked about parenting styles in the past. But do you notice the differnce of kid 1 vs kid 2, 3, 4 in your parenting styles? This week we talk about the differences in our kids and how we mature as parents from the first to the rest. And you hear about Syndey's awesome water bottle stickers. Too much?

This week....well, it's kind of just another week. Life scheudles are starting to settle. School routines are working. And per usual, we're tired as Fu*k! Enjoy!

Alicia attended the What She Said event last week, in Scottsdale. An afternoon spent with some strong, determinded women to celebrate our accomplishments. One of the women she got to interview was @taranicolinaa Tara met her forver partner at the tender age of 19. Six years marreid and 2 kids by 25. Not the same lifestyle we were living at 25! Sit back and listen, as we learn how to see the green flags in life.

Making the decision to have a child is not always an easy choice. This week, we talk to Shannon Melton on her choice to have only one child. A reminder that sometimes we don't put ourselves first when it comes to life choices.

(side note, Alicia's audio sucks. But not the content!)

Family. We created it. We're a part of it. And while we all complain at some point about it, our extended family is who we are. Where we come from. And let's be real, NO ONE knows the crazy in your family except your siblings and cousins. This week, we talk about the importance of the extended family.
