Technically An Adult

Sidney and Ginny have BOTH gotten their first dose of the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine. So... In this episode, they talk about their experiences with that, any side effects they had, and how they feel (emotionally) now that they've gotten that first dose. Also included in this episode - how to know when you're eligible, can you get Covid-19 from the vaccine, and can your employer penalize you for not getting the vaccine? 

Now that you've gotten your sleep taken care of - let's dive into the wide world of asking for days off to care for our own mental health! You know I've gotta give you a disclaimer, though: We want this episode to help normalize asking off for when you don't feel emotionally healthy, just as you would if you were physically unwell. We hope that you will feel empowered! But please know that the laws, regulations, and even individual policies surrounding time off for any reason vary from country to country, state to state, and company to company. Follow the rules, and the law when asking for time off, but don't feel bad for taking time off if you need it!

What is "Romancing Yourself to Sleep"? And why does Sidney's therapist suggest we do it? Here's a hint... it's not what you think that it is. We finish up the topic of sleep, and Sidney and Mom share their chronotypes and tell you where you can find yours - plus a sweet little story from Ginny about what it was like to be pregnant and sleepy around a deep-voiced baby Sidney.

And we're back in 2021 - kicking off Season 2 with a two-parter on Sleep Hygiene. Mom and Sidney take over the reins of the show while Kenzie takes some time to focus on editing over hosting. In Part One we talk about what our sleep issues are, what things we do to help ourselves sleep, and the importance of mental health on sleep. Sounds like a snooze-fest (ha!), but it has its moments. Also, we learn in our Word of the Day that Mom thinks that the work "Ugly" starts with an "O!"

What are some of the most common mistakes in baking? What makes someone a better baker than someone else? Do you really have to follow all the directions in a recipe (and in order)? How might one set an entire tray of cookies on fire in their oven? Most of these questions, and more, are answered in this episode, where Mom and Sidney ask Kenzie for help in upping their baking games. Plus, Kenzie gives some tips on how to do well on Nailed It, if you're ever on that show (and, again, we are 100% not sponsored by Netflix...yet... Netflix, the ball is in your court).

The Holidays and an global pandemic on a scale never seen before are both here, whether you like it or not. In this episode, we talk pros (no hugs) and cons (no hugs) of socially distanced holidays, tips we've used to make virtual get togethers feel more special, and we encourage you to use the excuse of the coronavirus and flu season like you never have before. No, your nosey in-laws don't need to see you. There's a pandemic on. Next year? Well, by then they'll already be used to not seeing you.

I'm pretty sure we sing "Under The Sea" at some point in this one. We wonder if we should cancel Mom, and get stopped by the Universe before we maybe get cancelled ourselves. Want to know which cancellation hashtag Mom things is "cute"? Tune in to find out.

As you're gearing up for the Fall and Winter Holiday Seasons (for us, that's Thanksgiving and Christmas), please give our little episode about arguably the most fun part a little listen! This is a continuation of our regular decorating episode, but we're tired at this point so it's not as off-rails as usual. That's something to be thankful for,  right?

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming after our Halloween Live Stream. This week we're doing our very best to talk about decorating when Sidney is the only one that has really ever done it. Kenzie's got some choice tips on what to do and not do as a renter, Sidney tries to make your house look like Beast's castle, and Mom tries to make you lose your security deposit. Fun times and struggles. Join us for this train wreck, won't you?

What do Lord of the Flies, a bicycle, and War of the Worlds all have in common? Find out in this episode! Plus, we talk about our firsts and worsts and give some sage advice on how to tell if someone is coming on too strong on an international dating app.
