It's that time. You are either setting alarms on your phone or playing paper, rock, scissors with your spouse for who has to hide the elf. There is a lot of magic to be created if your children still believe. What traditions do you have in your household? How many spin cycles are you going to be on this season? We discuss some of our family traditions, whether our kids still believe, and how to break the magic spell if you are in that phase of life. It's December folks. Time to gear up, crank up the magic, and create lasting memories with the family. Parents: put your AirPods on. This episode unleashes some secrets.

We all live off of Amazon Prime. 2-Day Shipping is our lifeblood. With the holidays approaching, we take an inside look at what's in our Amazon carts. Typically, people place cart items in a "holding pattern" until you hit the magical button. And, there are usually some tried and true staples, items you try out because you are heavily influenced, or the typical gift you have to give. We want to know what you have in your Amazon carts! Head on over to our Instagram page @Sweatpants.Stilettos for all the products and fun items we discuss this week. Get into your favorite sweats, grab the coffee, and start scrolling the domineering 800 pound - maybe it's up to 1000 pounds - gorilla in retail. It's time to shop!

Pumpkin spice and everything nice. Did you grab the cute boutique t-shirt? You know the one...the rustic red-orange one with the inspirational saying. Or, are you wrapping yourself up in the chunky cardigan with your latte thinking of all the wonderful blessings? It is the season for all things fall and thanksgiving. We are blessed, and yes, we too are right there with you...eating up all the fall tidings. But, how do you practice gratitude on a regular basis and not make it a focus one time a year? How do we make sure we instill it in our kids? We break down how we are attempting the big word--GRATITUDE--in our households and everyday lives.

Yep. We went there. And, no, it is not about going to the bathroom.

Join Steph, Annette and Crystal has they discuss what it means to tinkle. The ladies break it down...are you team Steph, or do you have the same issues Annette and Crystal face? 

We told you...we are going to talk about all of life's "realness".  Welcome to the conversation.

If you are a mom, you probably remember the book, "Are You My Mother?" by P.D. Eastman. It is the journey of a hatchling bird who doesn't understand where is mother is and goes to look for her.

As we have walked our journey, we have come in and out of friendships. We even question some of them. While some relationships remain steadfast, others are fleeting. What qualities anchor you in your friendships and what needs do you have?

We take an inner look at friendship as we are trying to coach our tween daughters through the complexities and challenges of developing and maintaining relationships.

Welcome to Sweatpants and Stilettos - a place where women can be real, and we talk about all the things! Let's face it, we all aspire for class and sophistication. We all wish we could bounce around life in a pair of stilettos. But, life is real and it's messy. You need your go-to sweats to get it all done. And, you need three ladies that will get down to the nitty gritties of what is keeping them afloat, how they survive work, kids and marriage, and most of all how they value friendship and just being themselves.

In this "teaser" episode, you will get to know your three new besties - Steph, Annette, and Crystal. They will discuss where they are in life and how this podcast was born. You might have just found your go-to gal pals in your favorite pair of sweatpants. We welcome you to the conversation...let's get started. This is Sweatpants and Stilettos.
