    May 1 2024

    Welcome back! This week we talk about Washington D.C. and Philadelphia.
    We discuss the importance (and fun) of planning meetings for all the things!!! We talk about the trend, #mamasdone, what are you done with as a mom? We're having a conversation about our best yes... what do you delight in? What do you enjoy doing that gives you a minute to breath and fills your bucket?

  • We're International! Hello Germany!
    Apr 28 2024

    We're international with two downloads in Germany and we've had over 100 downloads total so far. Thank you for listening! This week we recap the paint party and we talk about some of our unpopular opinions from dogs to In-n-Out to appropriate text and phone call response time. And a few thoughts about the 'electronic leash' we've all found ourselves tied to. We also give our first restaurant review from Five Vines Wine Bar! We recommend the Pear + Brie Skillet Melt and the Rose Flight.

  • We're Doin' the Dang Thing
    Mar 25 2024

    Welcome to our very first episode! We're a little nervous to kick this off but, after a year, we're finally doin' the dang thing. Get to know us, Jenn and Claire, and how we met. Hear all about what we call 'our Sister Wife' lifestyle and why it works for us... minus the sharing a husband part. We also dive into the importance and value of finding a tribe for yourself, your family and your children. So hop in your car, buckle up and hang out with us for awhile. We hope you learn something that makes your life a little easier or you find yourself shouting 'SAME' because you're not alone and we're all in this dang thing together!
    (and if you took a shot every time we said 'fun' or 'excited', please don't drink and drive, drink responsibly).

    Also, it's Jenn's week for her five favorite things that are currently giving her life or saving her life! As always, all items will be linked here in the show notes but can also be found on our Instagram or our website.
