This week we are chatting about a subject we love- celebrating our friends' birthdays! Nothing makes us more excited than planning the perfect way to celebrate our friends, and throughout the years the way that we have executed birthday celebrations has morphed and changed- from dinners to experiences, we have done it all- and our dreams for future celebrations are getting bigger and better!

As always, we would love to hear from you. Some of our questions include:

*What are some of the best/most genius birthday celebrations you've been to or heard about?

*If you are celebrating in a group do you arrange for one large group gift or are you all in charge of bringing your own gifts (or have you gotten rid of gifts all together?)

*Are 'Over the Hill' parties a thing anymore?

Please comment on Instagram and let us know all your awesome thoughts and tips, or stories of awesome birthday shenanigans. Tell us everything!

Thank you for listening and sharing the podcast. We appreciate it!

This week we are discussing how we have approached teaching our kids about sexual health. This conversation is coming from the experiences we have had as two moms, not experts, and how we have found success around discussing this topic with our kids.

We also openly discuss the challenges we have faced based on our children's different personalities and openness with us, and gauging when the appropriate time is to give them each layer of information. We want you to know that if you are facing challenges, you are not alone! We are all doing our very best as parents and it is okay if conversations aren't flowing as smoothly as you visualized.

There is so much encouragement and information available to us as parents for teaching our kids about their bodies, appropriate anatomical terms, appropriate touching, safety, and so much more. We encourage you to seek out one of the many resources we discuss if you are having any hesitation or uncertainty about what to teach your children and when.

We would love it if you share your experiences, resources and any other helpful tips around this topic with us and the regular cool mom community! Leave us a comment and share your thoughts with us, we love hearing from you.

Thanks for listening!

This week we (Lissi and Joy) are chatting about different ways we have agitated for change on both small local levels and changes we are hoping to make on a larger (but perhaps less important?) scale.

Activism doesn't have to mean a huge demonstration with signs and marching (although we do love seeing a good march!) There are a lot of ways to get involved in making much needed changes that can be as simples as picking up the phone.

We would love to hear your experiences! What have you done to be successful in getting the powers that be to hear your voices and make a change? There is no cause too big or too small to be discussed here, we would love to celebrate any victories with you!

Join us on instagram and leave us a comment. We love hearing from you. Also, please don't forget to rate and review the podcast and share it with a friend. We really appreciate it.

This week Lissi has chosen a very intriguing case for us to discuss! Join us as she lays out all the mysterious details leading up to a horrific kayaking accident in which one person drowned and the other was an immediate suspect...but did the police arrest a guilty killer or was it just a terrible accident?

We would love to hear your thoughts on the final verdict in this case! With all of the unusual behaviors (from the suspect AND from the police) this case has a lot of twist and turns that leave us scratching our heads.
