We're half-way through 2019! So we check in on our goals to see how we're doing: we evaluate where we need to make progress, if there's anything we want to let go of, and celebrate unexpected accomplishments. In Obsessions we have summer on the mind. Erica is loving a cold and caffeinated morning beverage. Kelsey is loving shorts that keep sweat at bay. In Neighborhood News there was drama trying to get coffee.

Erica redid her master bedroom

Starbucks cold brew with salted cream cold foam

We chat about our parenting experiences of raising girls and raising boys: what we love about raising girls and boys, the values we hope to instill in them, and what we think would be hard about raising the opposite gender. Along the way we discover that we both have strong thoughts on gendered clothing and the phrase "boy mom."
