Surprise!  We officially have video to go along with the podcast now.  My hope in doing this is to expand our audience, reach more moms, and to be able to showcase some guests on the podcast in the future.  This week, I'm just winging it and we'll work out the kinks later.  I'm chatting all things about my realistic cleaning routines as a work-from-home toddler mama.  I hope this sparks an idea for you or gives you some inspiration for managing your own home!  Like this episode?  Questions?  Reach out to me on Instagram!

For the last episode of 2024, it felt fitting to wrap up the year together.  I'm walking you through some highlights of what's gone on in my world this year, three important lessons I learned this year (especially being a mom), and how I'm feeling moving into 2025.  Talk to you in January, mamas!  In the meantime, be sure to connect with me on Instagram and join the Kind Moms Club community on Facebook and the group chat (all linked below).

I have been asked this question so many times over the last two years, I thought it was about time to make an episode about it.  When we decided to do this, Kristin Cavallari was the only person I had seen do it, but now it's way more common to not share kids' faces on social media.  We have loved this decision and honestly are only gaining more boundaries with it as time goes on.

Happy Halloween (a little early!) with a double episode surprise!

This episode is a not-so-little Kind Moms Club update, sharing all about how we're taking this outside of just a podcast and building a full-blown Kind Moms Club community!  I have been sharing on my Instagram stories that something new and exciting was coming for the KMC community and I knew that my podcast mamas had to be the first to know!

It's the fifth Tuesday of the month, so that means a bonus episode!  And while I know it's only October, but the KMC community voted to hear about books and as your local resident book worm mama, I am here to serve the people with a recap of my reads thus far this year!  I've got my Goodreads account in hand and I'm sharing a handful of the five-star reads I've gone through in 2024 - I'll be hard-pressed to find one that tops my number one.  (I'm a thriller girlie, but I did share two cutesy little fluffy reads for those of you who like that.). This is the perfect episode for anyone looking for their next great read, something to get them out of a reading slump, or someone who wants to get into (or back into) reading fiction.

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times - people say the wildest things to pregnant women and moms.  Spicy Kay is reporting for duty today - let's respond to five of the things I was told that really irked me.  Let's remember, first and foremost, to be kind and secondly, that you are the only person writing the narrative of your motherhood journey (and life) - so make it a good one!

Going low-tox can be so overwhelming.  It seems like anyone having these conversations is judgey and extreme.  I'm here to have a real conversation with y'all about things we do in our house to lower our toxic burden.  Why does it matter?  Your health is impacted by what you put in AND on your body, including your environment.  Don't feel like it's all or nothing - every change you make has an impact on your health.  Tune in to hear a little on this topic from one mama to another and then check out the resources below if you want more information from reliable sources!

Every mom has hard days and anyone you know that pretends otherwise is lying or in denial.  This is episode is for your hard day, to help you remember that it is just a moment and doesn't define your motherhood.  Come back and listen to this as often as you need to hear it and pass it on to your mom friends because you never know who might need to hear this today, too.
