We're chatting a little more in depth about transitioning from cribs to "big kid beds" and a lot more in depth about where we stand on screen time and how to make it a guilt-free part of parenting.  Of course, it's us, so we're also going to throw in some coffee, Taco Bell, Taylor Swift, and tangents of all kinds.

Mentioned in this episode:

I can't honestly be sure how we went down a Teen mom rabbit hole, but just stay with us here.  Don't worry, we're also going to get an education on what "meatball skin" is (you're not ready), get to the bottom of wtf is up with cottage cheese, and Jessie's only going to mention Taylor Swift once.  Give us some ideas for future "Fifth Friday" episodes so we can bring y'all some fun content and actually stay on track. 

Mentioned in this episode:

I mean, she totally is, right?  Kay's not a Swiftie...Jessie very much is...so naturally, we had to have Taylor as a special guest for her second podcast appearance.  We're also chatting a lot about adult friendships and building community, our starts to the school year, bathing our kids (or...not?), some new things coming to KMC, and more!

Mentioned in this episode:

This episode is obnoxiously long because frankly, ya girls love to yap.  We're hitting the good stuff today: overstimulation, random food discussions (Taco Bell, where is our sponsorship?), juicing and ditching fragrance, advocating for your kids and yourself in the medical world, holistic choices, and well, giving birth!  A little bit of everything is kind of what we do around here, ya know?

Mentioned in this episode:

What do Coldplay, Chili's, Red Robin, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Little Sleepies, and Little People all have in common? Us, obviously. We're catching up on the latest around the internet before diving into some motherhood topics like screen time, taking our kids to different places, and judgment from others. Whether you’re navigating your kids’ fashion sense or their big emotions, a homebody in this phase of parenthood or ready to travel, we’re all in this together, mama.  Some seasons are all carseats and bottomless fries.  We really hope Kay is watching "Freakier Friday" when you're listening to this, and we definitely earned a Dundie for this episode.

You know those humans that you meet and you're just like, "Hey, you're going to be stuck with me forever now."  Well I met mine 15.5 years ago and now I've talked her into co-hosting my podcast with me.  Kind Moms Club is all about being kind to yourself as a mama and kind to your fellow mamas, so it feels like a big win to get to host the podcast that started it all with my mom bestie, Jessie!  Tune in to learn a little more about our new co-host, how we met, and a few conversations about our little ones.  We can't wait to bring you new episodes EVERY FRIDAY talking all things motherhood, life, and friendship.  So heat up that cup of coffee you left in the microwave or pour yourself a glass of wine and join us!

Mentioned in this episode:

Keeping all of the things you love about the podcast, but adding in a little more spice and lot more fun.  It seemed like it was time to really step up the game and make the podcast match the vibes around here.  Introducing, our new co-host!  Kay will be joined by her best friend, Jessie, for conversations about motherhood and just about anything else under the sun.  New episodes drop every Friday!

Hey, mama.  Welcome to your new favorite mom group - a place where you can come as you are, stay for a few laughs, and leave feeling seen.  Motherhood is a wild ride and we’re here to make it just a little more fun.  If you think chatting with a mom friend feels like therapy, you’re in the right place.  Around here, we keep it 100% real, no topic is off-limits, and you can pretty much guarantee that we’re going to get a little unhinged.

No mom needs unsolicited advice, so we’re making it our mission to spread unsolicited kindness instead.  And it all starts right here, with conversations to get you thinking, crying, or laughing until you cry.  If you’re craving community, you’ll love it here.  So go find your coffee that you left in the microwave or top off your glass of wine and let’s get into it.

Whether you're already an athlete or just looking to move your body more, Courtney is bringing you some key pieces of information on how to workout safely through pregnancy and postpartum.  Motherhood doesn't mean losing yourself, it should mean learning to take better care of you so you can take care of your little ones.  Courtney is sharing her journey to owning her own private women's gym, Pretty in Pink Fitness, starting with a major injury during pregnancy.  From recognizing a gap in postpartum fitness support to helping to be that support for her fellow moms, she's sharing with us the importance of recognizing the changes your body goes through during pregnancy, reconnecting with your body postpartum, and finding the right help.

So life has been wild and crazy, but it's also about to get wild and crazy RIGHT HERE on the podcast.  Make sure to stick around through all of the "life lately" updates from me until the end when I give you the details on what's about to go down with the podcast SO SOON!  Also, be sure to grab your Kind Moms Club merch from the merch store - it's all 10% off in July because we're closing the merch store to open a new and improved one - grab what you want because your faves might not be returning!

Mentioned in this episode:

What better guest for this podcast than my very own best friend?  Jessie is a mom of three and we're talking about so many topics, we couldn't fit them into one episode.  Part two gets a little more unhinged (welcome to the friendship) as we talk motherhood in your thirties, parenting styles, behavior, boundaries, and more.  This counts as her official audition for co-host, right?
