S&S doesn't just stand for Sweatpants and Stilettos. It is also for our third couple that takes the mic in our Love & Marriage Series. Scott and Stephanie get candid about their relationship and the key levers that make their marriage work. At the end of the day, "all that matters is within these four walls." And, can we just say...yep, we are LOVING your list of priorities. What is fun about this series is watching our significant others get personal on topics they usually chase down with a beer. They bring the male perspective...and you are definitely going to want to hear this one...so many good lessons! But, Scott is a teacher after all.

We have all established marriage is hard. This week, we continue our series Love & Marriage with a new couple taking the mic. Brian and Crystal discuss what they feel can be five core ripples of marriage. There are lots of ripples, but some create bigger tidal waves than others. They are not therapists. All they have is their 15 years of marriage under their belts. But, they attempt to dive into some topics that merit weight. Each topic deserves its own podcast, but we hope you find some of their navigation and perspective to be helpful. 

We would love to hear what you think are other tidal waves in marriage. Join us on Instagram @Sweatpants.Stilettos

We are still in the season of love and continuing our conversation on marriage. Each couple is unique and values specific aspects of marriage. This week, we take an inside peak into a marriage with two people that are continuing to write their own story. Annette and Jared take to the microphone to bring you what works in their marriage, what they are striving for each day, and how they continue to work on their relationship. Steph and Crystal certainly adore this couple...we know you will too. While we consider them the "babies" in their youthful nature...they are wise beyond their years. 

Thank you for sharing a piece of your story with us Annette and Jared.

You know the theme song. While it is the "season" of love, those two words have weight. This week, Annette, Steph, and Crystal bring their 15 years of marriage to the table. They get candid on how they met their husbands and what marriage means to them. It takes work. Marriage is not something you get to leave on the shelf and neglect. There are different "seasons" of marriage. Join the conversation as we get real on the season we are entering.

What is your vision for your life? How about your purpose? Those are some pretty big questions to answer for any individual. As we embark on a new year, we all find ourselves "vision casting" and hoping for what 2021 will be. Some of us goal set, some of us plan, and some of us create vision boards. However, all three of those activities take more than writing down some words and cutting out some pictures. It takes some real work.

We are so honored to have Angie Petersen-Green as our guest. Angie is life coach and has spent the last three years leading clients in her practice Vision Maps with Angie. Her work is about getting clear on living your authentic life. We have a candid conversation with Angie on what the process looks like and how Angie's coaching style allows you to do the real work that is necessary. One of our very own has walked this journey with Angie. Steph can't say enough about what the process has manifested in her life.

We seek them out. When a great one is found...it is sheer genius. As moms...we try to share them in anyway we can. And, if you are that Pinterest mom, you are combing the web for them. The great ones are usually just stumbled upon. Friends of the communal tribe, they are called Mom Hacks. The tribe lives and breathes for things that make life just a little bit easier. This week, we needed a mom hack. Our brains and bodies are fried from the first week out of the gate and into the new year. So, we took a topic that we only hope provides you some reprieve and maybe an "a-ha" moment. We share some great mom hacks we have learned along the way.

But, the tribe helps the tribe...please share with us your greatest mom hacks! @sweatpants.stilettos on Instagram

Oy! We are here. We made it. It's 2021. Though it is a new year, it doesn't have its typical flair. After all, we have lived through a pandemic and are still trudging through it. How do you set yourself up for the new year? What expectations do you have? Do you plan and goal set or do you just go for it? 

Inevitably, as we start a new year there are expectations and reflection. This week we discuss how we approach transitioning between years. That word just keeps coming up - expectations ... of growth, rebirth, goal setting, self-care, personal and professional...the list could go on and on. Weigh in on how you are approaching 2021 and how you manage all the expectations.

Join us in the conversation and connect with us on Instagram at @Sweatpants.Stilettos. Cheers to a new 365 day chapter. You are the writer...you hold the pen. 

Oy boy, we are here to that part in the season. We are runnin', gunnin' and blazin' at warp speeds. There are so many layers to the holidays, but then you had a nice pandemic to it and it gets thicker and messier. We are tired. We are chugging. And, we are just aiming to get to the joyous and relaxation moments. This week, we just call it real. We moms are stressed. How about you?

Feel free to connect with us at @Sweatpants.Stilettos We will be your support team and raise you up! Moms, we are in this together.

One thread that binds the three of us women is that we all carried twins. However, Annette has an incredible story to share. Since the day we introduced ourselves, we have gotten requests for Annette to share her journey. In this raw and real conversation, Annette shares her experience in being a surrogate to twin baby boys. We will uncover how the story unfolded, how Annette and her family approached the journey, and lessons she learned along the way. This is an incredible story of selfless love, friendship, and giving the ultimate gift of life.

We would love for you to share your thoughts and feedback with us on our Instagram profile: @Sweatpants.Stilettos or feel free to email us. 

Our two front teeth? No. Some momma free time ... definitely. This week, we break down some of our favorite products. We all know that we are in a time of procuring gifts and being a magical elf. And, there isn't one of us that isn't struggling on what to get a particular person. We list off some of our favorite items that we can't live without. Maybe something will inspire you, or at the very least, something might become your favorite too. Please share with us what your favorite items are. We are moms struggling to find that fantastic gift as well! @Sweatpants.Stilettos on Instagram.
