Real as a Mother

What are your plans for your kids this summer? Well if you are like us, you haven't gotten that far yet. This week we share ideas for kids of all ages and give budget friendly tips.

This week we review a potential new lead in the Delphi case. James Chadwell of Lafayette, IN was arrested for the alleged kidnapping and subsequent "alleged" molestation and assault of a 9 yr old girl. Officials are investigating whether or not he could be the killer of Abby and Libby.

We also talk about the first 3 episodes of season 4 of "The Handmaid's Tale"...holy craziness Batman!

This week we talk about the gift that keeps on giving for both of us...migraines. Migraines are a special kind of pain that we both have and know lots of other women are in the same boat. We share some strategies to help them, info on what has worked for us, triggers and how to avoid them and of course, some fun. *we are not giving medical advice, just sharing our experiences. If you suffer from migraine you should talk to your doctor or seek medical attention, don't just listen to us!*

Oh, the joys of aging...and we actually mean it! We're not talking about the fact that gravity has set in and isn't our friend, or crossing your legs when you sneeze. We're legit talking about the good parts about aging! Like not worrying so much about what other people think, having your tribe, or settling into your career. Join us this week for a comical and informative conversation about the real joys of aging.

Are you snarky like Dorothy or wonderfully oblivious like Rose? Well, this week we tackle that question with a quiz from Southern Living and one from Heywise that both show Jen is...listen in to see the answer to that question!

Links are below to the quizzes, let us know which one you are!

Wow, this week we have a treat for you! We had the opportunity to interview two hilarious mom who are tackling motherhood one day at a time. Shayna and Tracey have been friends since the 8th grade. After living on separate coasts after college, they ended up back in their hometown of Denver, CO once they started their families and officially became #Breeders. They created The Pump + Dump Show in 2012 with the vision of using humor and generosity to support moms in the trenches of new parenthood.

These ladies have now created a podcast and it is fabulous! The link is below, they drop new episodes on Tuesdays and they cover a wide-range of topics from vaginal steaming to the COVID vaccine. They also have an APP and once this crazy COVID stuff cools off, they will get back on the road with their hilarious mom's night out show!
