In today's episode, Jackie and Jessie finally discuss First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston. This was a quick read that kept us captivated. We both gave this book 4/5 stars (although who knows if we are reliable critics - we are very easily swayed).

But really this was a great read that made us question whether or not your name is essential to your identity, and what lengths would you go to to help someone you love?

Listen in as we unpack First Lie Wins and be sure to read it if you haven't already! And join in next month as we cover An American Marriage by Tayari Jones.

Back baby back for part two where Jessie goes further into detail about the Zodiac Killer. As always, when it comes to true crime topics, please listen with caution.

Keep your wits about you y'all

Hi friends,

In this one, we commiserate with all of those who are struggling with sleep. Both Jackie and Jessie have had issues with all of their kids sleep, and we talk about the different methods we have used, what has worked and what hasn't.

To highlight-what works for neither of us is the shame surrounding the topic of sleep. What you do to keep your sanity, or what works best for your family (assuming that it's safe for the child in question) is what works. This might be totally different from what your neighbor, bestie, or interwebs professionals say to do but that's OK. We see you, we feel your pain. Grab your coffee, and if you don't drink coffee-this podcast is not for you (Just kidding we love you all...but non coffee drinkers-how do you do it?!)

Hey baby...what's your sign? Today we talk about our astrological signs, our kids' signs, and now they affect our parenting! Have you ever looked into your Sun, Moon and Rising signs? Learn about what they mean and how you can figure out your own. Jackie breaks out her Birthday Book and we learn that Jessie shares a birthday with AlFRED Einstein, not AlBERT Einstein.
