We came across a viral TikTok video that exposed a common holiday oversight that was really sad to say the least.

| Christmas Gifts That Aren't Mom Approved | 06 Dec 2023 | 00:21:44 | |
Christmas gifts that aren’t mom approved..you guys know what we’re talking about. These gifts are usually bought to piss off moms, such as the big pre-packaged bucket of slime, dangerous life-threatening orbeez, or loud and noisy toys that make moms cringe. It’s time to ditch the random gift picks and start requesting gift guides from the parents. Although we share our stories of questionable gifts our kids received in the past, this is a festive reminder that thoughtful gifting is the real gift of the season. We want to hear from you! | |||

| Anxiety: Breaking The Stigma with Mark Cheverton | 25 Oct 2023 | 00:52:26 | |
This week, we sat down with Mark Cheverton, New York Times Best Selling Author, to discuss his latest novel, "Facing The Beast Within: The Anxiety Of Cameron Poole." Mark's journey as a parent and author has led him to create a book that is a tool for kids and parents who face the challenges of anxiety. We get really deep into Mark's personal story and the inspiration behind this fantasy novel. The book is a testament to his son's battle with anxiety as a young child. Mark worked with a team of psychologists and mental health professionals to incorporate anxiety coping strategies into the book. His goal is to create a toolbox for kids who may feel isolated in their struggles and offer essential insights to parents who strive to understand their child's anxiety journey. Together, let's embrace Mark Cheverton's work and strive to change the narrative and stigma around anxiety for the better.

Throughout this episode we open up about our personal households, and which was more difficult for us. We also share the comments we received on our recent post about this topic and give our opinions further. This episode is to remind all of us that the "mom debate" is not about determining which is harder, but about supporting each other in the journey of motherhood. We want to hear from you! | |||
