In this episode, We’re recapping our long-awaited mommy’s night out—and yes, it finally happened! From lobster rolls and early-night laughs to debriefing our different parenting styles (especially after a wild trip to an indoor play place), we cover it all. We also dive into our latest TV obsession—White Lotus—and how binge-watching it feels like our version of a spa day.
We share some real talk about parenting: those moments when you want to rush in to help your child and the beauty of having other moms to lean on.
Then we wrap up with a little inspiration from Kate Hudson’s take on parenting—about letting go so we can actually connect—which really hits home. If you’re in the thick of it, trying to balance independence with keeping your little one safe (and maybe just dreaming of finishing a hot meal without a stuffy landing in someone else’s soup), this one’s for you, enjoy!

In this episode, we navigate through our weekly technical difficulties while discussing our ongoing fascination with astrology, particularly how it relates to parenting and understanding our children's behaviors through their airy zodiac signs. We explore the characteristics of different signs, the impact of rising signs, and share personal stories about our experiences as mamas. Then we dive into the topic of the zodiac signs as moms! We’re not experts on astrology, but we both love using it as a reference, and love guessing people’s signs just by listening to them and observing. So, we did some research and found a general consensus on what the signs are like as moms, and also which mom friends you’ll want to (or not want to) schedule play dates with according to your astrological compatibility. Enjoy, and please subscribe!
