Listen, there are a lot of badass moms out there. They are stay at home moms. They are working moms. They come in all shapes and sizes. But is there one more magical than Molly Weasley? Mrs. Weasley basically parents the entire wizarding rebellion against Voldemort. And she teaches us some important lessons about love, commitment, acceptance, and fighting through your pain.

A fall chill in the air can mean only one thing! Costumes, trick or treating, and chocolate. Lots of chocolate. This week we talk about Halloween traditions, family costumes, and Neil Patrick Harris family's perfect costumes. Thanks to Wendy Child (http://wendychildmusic.com/) for the music!

Hannah and Renee talk about how hard it is to draw boundaries. Especially when it comes to your parents and in-laws. Usually they are just trying to be kind and loving--and that's when it's hardest. But sometimes they like to give your kids a bag full of choking hazards for Christmas. Or they want you to stay at their house way past bedtime, causing epic meltdowns. We're not claiming to have any tips for saying "no" to your parents, but we can certainly give you a place to commiserate.

One of the weird paradoxes of parenting is the need to get away from your kids. Babysitters, kid swaps, grandparents, daycare, there are many possibilities, but what actually works. Hannah and Renee talk about the mom guilt associated with leaving your kids for a few hours, (or for an entire kid-free vacation once in a while!) but how, ultimately, it makes the rest of life go a littler smoother. Mama needs her sleep! Nothing makes you feel quite so human as a date night! Thanks to Wendy Child (http://wendychildmusic.com/) for the music! Follow us on social media.

Kids say the darndest things. At the worst possible moment. In grocery stores, neighborhood pools, and public restrooms. Or worst of all, in front of the in-laws. Hannah and Renee share some of their more cringeworthy stories. And we talk about the one thing making us both human this week: Peter Kavinsky from Netflix’s “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.” Thanks to Wendy Child (http://wendychildmusic.com/) for the music!

Not to be confused with the debilitating man cold, a mom cold is an illness in which a mother gets just as sick as everybody and still has to go about her normal duties. We joke, because apparently there are men who can function when I’ll...? Parents don’t get sick days. Especially if you have toddlers and babies. Soldiering on is really the only choice. And a lot of orange juice Thanks to Wendy Child (http://wendychildmusic.com/) for the music! (Go check out her new music! Seriously, she's so talented.) Follow us on social media.

School is great. And also, legally, you have to educate your child. But what about when they're young? How do you handle preschool? Thanks to Wendy Child (http://wendychildmusic.com/) for the music!

Sleep is necessary to survival. Especially when you're trying to recover from having a freaking baby. But parents don't get sleep--especially in the 4th trimester. We have to survive anyways. Coffee? Crying? Bargaining with your partner over who gets to sleep this time. Fighting with your spouse over who got less sleep. Listen, we've all been there.

In an effort to retain some of our pre-kids identity, we forgo any parenting topics this episode to talk about what really matters: Luke Skywalker and Middle Earth. Seriously, zero parenting content in this one. You have been warned.

Dinner should be the heartbeat of the family. The time to gather and reconnect after a busy day. But if there's a secret to making it actually happen that way, we don't know it.

Getting tiny people out of the house should not be so difficult. But it is. Always.

We tackle all things beauty. Ok, not all things, just whatever we can fit in between diapers, breakfast, and preschool drop-off. How can you be a good parent and not lose yourself?

In light of the horrible ongoing issue of children being separated from their families while trying to gain entry to the USA, we have some thoughts. And some action points. https://momastery.com/blog/2018/05/29/emergency-love-flash-mob-for-the-children/

To Nurse or not to Nurse? Sometimes it's a little more complicated than that. 2 moms of 5 kids, and a whole lot of judgement going on. For anyone who missed the glory of Michael W.
