In episode 20, we discuss an email from a listener who overheard a conversation between his daughter and some of her "bad" friends. It was a pretty questionable conversation and not very nice. Kids want to fit in and don't want to be the odd-man-out, so a lot of times, they conform and exhibit bad behavior so they feel "cool". We discuss how we would handle the situation with our own children along with some other parenting issues we've run across with our teenaged kids. Parenting isn't easy, especially when the topic is less than favorable. Give it a listen and let us know what you think. Would you handle things the same? We want to know!

Hi everyone! Welcome back to episode 19. This week, we change things up a little. We are going to be more focused on specific topics as opposed to just general discussion about random things. As moms, a wife, and working women, we plan to dive into the topics that are more relatable, that we know every parent out there has had experience in. More than once a day we question whether we are doing a good job and we know most of you do as well! We hope you enjoy this change because we are looking forward to discussing our life as we live it. 

In this episode, we talk about illnesses that have plagued our kids both acute and chronic. Kris's son, Brandon, was recently diagnosed with a gastric ulcer, pre-diabetes, and mono. Van's son, Nathan, has been dealing with Epilepsy for the last 2 years. We discuss the impact of these illnesses and how they will affect us moving forward and in the future.. 

Give us a listen and share what some of the illnesses your family has dealth with are and how you handle them. We'd also love to hear some of your ideas for future topics. Contact us on @coffee_nsarcasm on Twitter. We'd truly love to hear from you!

Hey everyone, hope you all had a fantastic 4th!! I know we sure did. Van hung out with family and even had a guest speaker, her sister Kalei, join for this episode. I had a great 4th. It's a huge deal in our town and my absolute favorite holiday because it's warm, there are lots of social opportunities, the parade and rides at the lake's point in downtown Warroad. It's fantastic fun! I also had my oldest daughter, Lissa on with us during this recording. Let me just tell ya, things quickly went from bad to worse in a fun, crass way. These Would You Rather questions, wow, some of them seriously got out of hand! Definitely don't let the kiddos or little ones listen to this episode, as it's seriously not rated for 18 and under! Nonetheless, we had a great time and I hope you all do too.

Give us a listen and share what some of your #fabulousfourth plans were. We'd also love to hear some what your ideas or suggestions would be on @coffee_nsarcasm on Twitter. We'd truly love to hear from you!

Kris and Van discuss Would You Rather questions on this week's Coffee Break! Do you know how gross some of those questions are? What kind of sick and twisted person comes up with this stuff! Seriously, some of the things that people think up with. Doing a search of the internet brings up some seriously HORRIBLE Would You Rather questions, not just gross but really dark! Seriously, some of these questions are disgusting but the Rumchata was good. Even though we gagged at some of the ideas with this minisode, it was fun. Hope you enjoy it!

Episode 14 takes Kris and Van back to a surprise road trip they took to see New Kids on the Block. In 2009, Van, along with their great friends Janelle, Stacey, Kris (a different Kris), and Kris's husband, Mark, conspired to surprise Krystal with this little getaway. A couple months before this, Kris was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) and it was a pretty scary, difficult, and stressful time in her life. Van flew in from Phoenix to meet Kris and the rest of the "Chi-Town Girls" in a restaurant in Minneapolis. Kris had no idea and the surprise was pulled off perfectly. It truly was one of the most memorable girlfriend getaways that Kris and Van have ever been on and she was never more grateful for having such amazing friends to help her escape her diagnosis for a few days!!!
