This episode is sponsored by the wonderful people at Malaysian Palm Oil. We’re dispelling some myths about certified sustainable palm oil today, showing you ways you can support certified sustainable palm oil, explaining why boycotting palm oil isn’t the answer and learning some ways to live a more sustainable life. If we don’t take care of the earth, who will?! Find more info on MPO here:https://checkthefactsreportthenews.org/https://www.palmoilhealth.org/
Viv and Maria are being separated by 5000 miles of land and sea! We thought we’d record one last episode together before Viv moves back to England. Obviously the podcast of dreams will continue but we won’t be recording face to face for a while. Enjoy our final hurrah! 
Join us for our very first episode of They See Me Mommin' We share our parenting fails with you. Prepare for laugh out loud stories involving major tantrums in fancy stores and ER visits. It's shameful but honest! We also touch on social media parenting and why we owe it to each other to be honest about what parenting is REALLY life (spoiler alert, it's hard!)

In this episode we talk of the ways we have taught out kids about kindness, and how we are kind to ourselves. It's something we think is so important, which is why we are making this one of our flagship episodes! We talk about kindness adventures, random acts of kindness and how much we love the movie WONDER. Music credit www.bensound.com
We wrote questions for each other so that you can get to know US better! Some are serious questions and of course, some are funny!

We did a photo shoot. The outcome was both beautiful and horrifying! We discuss our awkwardness in front of (and behind) the camera. As a mum it's easy to lose your identity so we also discuss a bit of mummy self care and what we do to help us feel more confident. You are never 'just' one thing. You are many things!

Isn't it though? We share our daily mom struggles with you. Turns out parenting is WAY harder than they told you in the movies and kids don't always behave like angels. We realize parenting isn't all unicorns are rainbows and unicorns don't fart glitter.
We talk about pregnancy. The highs and lows, the joys and sorrows, cravings and weight gain. Both Maria and Viv suffered hyperemesis which is a medical condition that results in extreme sickness. Watch out for Maria's stories of pregnancy related depression and how her nose grew huge! We also go into the differences we felt between our first and second pregnancies. Line of the episode comes from Maria: "Our lives are changed, so are our hearts and our mental state!"
We have some hilarious stories about our quirks and the quirks of our children. Ketchup phobia? Yep. Inability to be late? Yep. Kids who obsessed with paper? Yep. Karate kid fanatics? Yep. Kids who carry about Mommy's shirts? We got it!
Shout out to all the besties out there. We talk about awkwardness as a teen, the struggles of making friends now we are parents, how an introvert made friends in a new country and how we met each other. We share our top tips for making friends now we are mummies!

We are children of the 80s. What was it like growing up in the 80s and 90s? Come reminisce with us (or learn from us depending on your age!) about the hair, the make up and the cell phones we remember from growing up! How did people survive without the internet?! Parenting has changed so much since we were children - step into the world of us early millennials!
We talked about parent fails in our very first episode, but let's be real. They were not the only fails we ever had. We share some more of our parenting low points and fails. If I do say so myself, there are so super funny ones in here. If you liked our first parent fail episode you're going to LOVE this one.
We reminisce about traveling pre kids, go into depth about traveling with kids and share our tips and tricks. Listen on to hear some of our suggestions of great places to travel to with kids (and some grown up only destinations!)
