Nov. 2, 2020 - In this week’s episode, the girls kick off their MAMA & MORE series with the desert diva, Sarah Tripp, also known as Sassy Red Lipstick!  She’s a self-proclaimed curvy girl who’s all about spreading body confidence to us mama’s and women! 

The girls welcome her in studio and talk about so many great things - first about her journey as an OG blogger and then Instagram influencer. She has an eye for fashion and Sarah shares how that’s really where it all started. Her and her husband Robbie lead a fun and exciting life with their new baby boy Taz.

Oct. 26, 2020 - In this week’s episode, the girls go there with a juicy topic - infidelity.  Fortunately, neither of them have experienced this in their relationships but know how common it can be in marriages. The chat branches from a discussion on the new Netflix documentary "An American Murder”.  In the documentary, you see a totally normal and relatable couple end in a homicide. The girls know from their crime show knowledge that almost any story of murder committed by a spouse involves an affair - and this one is no different.  

The ladies examine what really leads to cheating and chat about red flags to watch for in their own lives.  Both think you need to have safeguards set in to protect your marriage and that there should be very open communication; discussing with your spouse appropriate behavior with the opposite sex and agreeing on safe boundaries.  They then chat about some “what if’s” and how they would react! Is forgiveness possible in situations like this??

They then close the show with their weekly hits and misses!  Lauren shares her hit of their annual Halloween playdate and Sarah’s miss of her shockingly expensive lunch!  Tune in to hear the whole story…

Oct. 19, 2020 - In this week’s episode, the girls are chatting all about how quality friendships can be so beneficial for our children.  Sarah and Lauren dive into a conversation about the importance of social skills, and how parents are required to take an active role in the development of those qualities.  Especially with the younger ones, they discuss knowing how to make a friend and be a friend. Lauren and Sarah have always said how important their friends are to them, and how much they love spending time with them.

The ladies share ideas and specific things parents can do to help encourage their kids to meet new people and what parents can do to support developing friendships. Sometimes a parent’s efforts are required by hosting a playdate or helping them learn how to talk and conversate. They also share how they encourage their children to be mindful of who they are spending their time with and share some useful tips.

This naturally leads into teen talk - and the influence friends have in our children's lives. It’s a well-known fact that teens are greatly impacted by who they spend their time with. The girls discuss how crucial it is for parents to encourage good friendships and to be aware of when your teen is in a destructive or less-appealing friendship.

They discuss how important parenting is in the young, fundamental years and how it will help their children find quality friendships in the future. Lauren and Sarah are a few years off from this stage but can recall on their own teen years - both having great friends that helped them do good!! 

They then close the show with their weekly hits and misses!  Sarah shares her hit of her daughter completing her first chapter book and Lauren’s miss of Gus escaping the backyard! Tune in to see how it worked out.
