    In this episode, Dana and Nic talk all about middle of the night hallucinations, our obsession with RHOBH's Erika Jayne, the Lifetime Britney Spears movie that none of you have seen, and how babies can be boring.

  • Episode 6 - Poop Emergencies, a bag of pills and a divine kinky bitch!

    In this hump day episode, we go deep, and by deep we mean bodily fluids! We talk all about when your kid gives you the "I need to poop right now" eyes and you're nowhere near a toilet. We also discuss Real Housewives and Lisa Rinna's bag of pills... and how we never want to take an ambien by mistake when all we really need is a Gas-X. We also hear about Nicole's kinky emails, and how they keep finding their way to her.

    Thanks for listening, we are loving the support! Please subscribe, review and share!

    Drink: Caretaker Pinot Noir from Trader Joes - yum!

We also talk all about finding your passion, and how career goals change so much over the course of our lives. Finally, we chat about connecting with other moms and how Nic and Dana became friends (hint: it was about reaching out)...

  • Episode 3 - Vacations with kids, minimalism and a box of wine
    In this episode, we talk about traveling with toddlers, keeping our house free of clutter (LOL) and how it's hard to let go of some things, remaining healthy two weeks after New Years Day vs. eating a full block of cheese and drinking endless amounts of boxed wine. We also bring up our husbands and how we parent so very differently... Drink: La Croix and water (so boring, but it's noon) Snack: none!! So strange for us. We'll do better next time...
