Southerland Girls

We're back! And apparently returning to work while raising two boys is exactly as chaotic as expected. 😂

This week, Brittany shares what the first two weeks back at work have really looked like, why we've been a little MIA, and how juggling work, preschool, a baby, sickness, and everyday life has been... a lot.

We're also celebrating Shannon's 15 YEARS of sobriety and getting her chip — plus she officially won the Sadie Robinson Huff 4GVN energy drink giveaway! 🎉

We catch up on Liam's preschool life, pumpkin patch photos, middle-of-the-night fears, and the moment he confidently offered to help with Baker like the sweetest big brother. Meanwhile, Baker hit a HUGE milestone and finally slept through the night!

We also talk about why we miss Celebrate Recovery in our community and how much we feel spaces like that are needed for young adults today.

Basically: work, motherhood, sobriety, church, sick kids, sleep wins, and the usual Southerland Girls chaos. 🤍

The return-to-work countdown is officially on, my to-do list is out of control, the kitchen is STILL not finished, and somehow I'm trying to embrace the chaos. 😂

This week we're talking about adjusting to my new mom body, going up a size and accepting it, and asking the very important question: ladies... are we still wearing thongs? Because where did all the fabric go?!

We also get into Liam's first school picture day and book fair, our matching pajama obsession, why we're loving Mad Men, and the intrusive thoughts that somehow send our brains down the weirdest rabbit holes — including the childhood nightmares we still remember way too clearly.

Just another completely normal Southerland Girls conversation. 🤍

Raising boys has officially turned me into a Type B mom. 😂

This week we're catching up on motherhood, family, and life lately — from my final week of maternity leave and finding a much-needed mom community at church, to why we think dads need a support group of their own.

Plus, Liam tells Gigi that Mommy and Uncle Sean are his best friends, we're getting ready to dedicate Baker at church, we laugh about our failed podcast book club era, and somehow we've already ordered our Christmas pajamas before Halloween.

If you're raising kids, trying to find your village, or just want to feel like you're catching up with friends, come hang out with us. 🤍

Brittany shares the new changes to this stage of motherhood. She's about to have a preschooler and have to do carpool! What's next, becoming a soccer mom???

All jokes aside, we are loving the new challenges and new freedoms that come with putting the oldest boy in school and learning a new schedule as Brittany and Shannon prepare for Britt's maternity leave to end in exactly 1 month.

Man, did the last 7 months fly by!

We also discuss using "wait till your father gets home" with Liam and also a story about a police officer telling him he needed to "listen to your mom".

Enjoy so much more in this episode!

Brittany reviews the Dutch Bros v. Starbucks Banana Bread Coffee. Hear her take on whose is better.

Shannon and Brittany share their Korean Skincare obsession that is literally Botox in a bottle, but sensitive skin is advised to be cautious when using.

Brittany shares her experience joining a new moms group at church called Moms Together. Let's just say, we need to make more mom groups a staple in the 4th trimester of motherhood.

We talk about Alex Earle's new netflix show, and man we are looking at a new version of up and coming family reality stars. It's SOOOO GOOD!

Brittany babbles on about being ready for a new tattoo and getting some new piercings. Not sure what's going on there, but she's ready to let loose and find her own identity out of being stuck at home arguing with a 3.5 year old and a stage 5 clinger 5 month old.

Brittany catches up with her kitchen refurbish project and how she's using Chatgpt to see what the kitchen would look like with different stain. It seems like nesting hit way later in her motherhood journey this second time around. LOL

We also chat about all the shenanigans Liam is getting into like using scissors alone, drawing on the couch with markers, and taking his own podcast show notes in mama's notebook.

Realsy Dates Snack: Peanut Butter

Come with us on one of our summer Friday beach days with the boys. As we were recording, we had a baby boy asleep on each of us.

We talk about people watching as we record and how dumb doodle dogs are. We also share that we are now pros when it comes to packing, setting up and coming home with the two of us plus a 3 year old and a baby. It's not easy but we've mastered it!

We also mention Kopari Spray sunscreen and Kopari Lotion sunscreen being the best.

Just Ingredients Sparkling Electrolytes - Strawberry Lime

We wanted to document Liam's 3 year old voice to have forever as so much is changing between the boys. We continue to strive to make memories as mother daughter duo, and include family in our podcast at the same time.

It's so fun to hear Liam talk and share with everyone his favorite things. We really hope you like this episode with our youngest guest host so far!

Brittany also shares her experience with CA EDD SDI office and getting paid the rest of her owed money through disability. You won't even believe that errand that turned into a full day event, as she took Baker with her to get issues handled with her SDI account.

Happy Listening!

We are always surrounded by males that we decided, why not record an episode at the nail salon? We started doing mother-daughter dates and scheduling pedicures once a month to get away and have girl time.

We talk about Bravo Reality shows we are watching, Netflix documentaries, and Deal or No Deal obsession that our nail techs always have playing on tv when we come to get our nails done. Lately we have implemented reward system with Liam and share how that is going, along with Woody's uber ride tea!

Enjoy a well produced episode! It's so fun!
