If your child hasn't already encountered a person with a disability, it's likely they will at some point. Whether it’s a grocery store patron in a wheelchair or a child in their class that has Autism, a conversation about these differences is inevitable. 

Which can be nerve-wracking. After all, we don’t want to say the “wrong thing”! 

In this week’s episode we discuss ways to create everyday conversations about disabilities with your child, explaining neurodiversity (Autism/ ADHD) to young children, our experiences a mothers to special needs children and more.

Most of all, we chat about how we as parents can foster an attitude of inclusion and acceptance for our kids, helping them connect to the diverse kids in their world.

Being a mom can be a bit of a “keep your head down & keep pushing” type of role and if you’re anything like us, you may have found yourself stumbling toward this week’s Thanksgiving holiday with a confused look on your face and the thought of “wasn’t it just the first day of school?”. 

What’s that saying? The days are LONG but the years are SHORT. Yeah…no kidding!

This week we take a moment to reflect on the things we are grateful for in our lives, from motherhood wins to female friendships to perspective shifts…we’re thankful for it all. 

What are YOU thankful for in this season of motherhood? Share with us on social media or by emailing us at [email protected]!

Handling disappointment in a healthy way is a high-level skill that many of us still wrestle with. We all feel it at some time in our lives whether it's with relationships, other people, opportunities or ourselves.

As moms, it can be hard to watch our kids navigate uncomfortable feelings and our first instinct may be to try to “fix” it, which isn’t always the best idea! 

In this week’s episode we talk about how to help your child manage disappointment, share our own IRL experiences and offer tips to try out in your home…and maybe on yourself!

It’s engraved in our culture, especially as women, to constantly be striving toward goals. Graduate college? When will you find a partner and settle down? Get engaged? When’s the wedding date? Get married? When’s the baby carriage coming? Literally IN the hospital with your newborn, but when will you try for baby #2?

It’s no wonder we can never just enjoy what we have!

In this week’s episode we talk motherhood comparison, looking back at prior seasons of motherhood (with kinder eyes) and offer tips on how to find joy in the season you are in.

As mothers of children with special needs ( Autism for Christina’s daughter, ADHD for Claire’s), we often find the joy and positives of the challenges that come our way. In fact, we have a tendency to keep SO positive that we don’t let many people see the hard parts, the inner thoughts, the worries, the fears, the things that keep us up at night. 

In this week’s episode we dive into the HARD parts, sharing a candid conversation of the things “nobody talks about”.

Inspired by the popular I’ve Had It Podcast, we once again explore our current gripes in motherhood including school pickup pet peeves, dance mom lamenting and the social media mom shaming of the “17 Diapers” mom. 

We also share what we’re “here for” this week, including upcoming plans and the “good side” of the internet. 

We’d love to hear from YOU!

Let us know what your current “here for it” and “had it” are in this season of motherhood by sending us an email ([email protected]) or sending a DM!

As a girl mom, she knew this day would come.

The day where her little lady was less into dressing up as her favorite Disney princess and crossed into the “adult” section of the Halloween store.

For Claire, it happened the year her oldest asked to be a “bunny” and had control of the online shopping. Imagine her surprise as her sweet baby girl strutted down in fishnets!!!It happens to all of us, our kids grow up.

But how do you navigate the shift? How do you know when to stand your ground vs pick your battles? 

In this week’s episode we get real about “girl” Halloween, with Claire sharing her real-life experiences and Christina sharing useful psychologist recommendations on how to navigate this spooky territory!

In the last decade birthday parties have taken a shift.

What was once a quick trip to the store for balloons, pizza and a cake is now a planned-out EVENT, full of small details, decisions and the pressure to keep up with the Joneses. 

There’s two camps of moms: the ones that thrive in the party planning (Christina) and the ones that plan the week-of (Claire).

Which do YOU fall in? 

Join us for a fun episode where we talk all things birthday, including Christina’s favorite themes, teen party expectations, our thoughts on goodie bags, tips for planning and ways to save money while throwing a fantastic event.

When Christina first decided to become a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM) she pictured days filled with arts & crafts, coffee dates with moms and other peaceful highlights that mom influencers have shown online for the last decade or so. What she found is: that is NOT the vibe.

The reality is that while joy-filled at times, being a stay at home mother is the hardest job she has EVER done…and she navigated some MAJOR crises in her PR professional days!!!

This week we talk tips & tricks to “surviving” as a SAHM including routines that save sanity, tips on getting out of the house on a budget and how to find chunks of time for yourself/ prioritize mental health amongst the chaos.
