Description
All moms work — whether it’s in an office, at home, or just surviving another school morning without losing your mind. 💅
We’re Renay & Kelsey, two Southcoast, MA moms trying to navigate life, work, and motherhood without losing our keys (or our sanity).
We spill the tea (and the wine 🍷) on the highs, lows, and “did that really just happen?” moments of mom life — with a little pop-culture gossip because honestly, that’s our version of self-care.
In a world where everyone’s pretending to have it together, we’re just here to say, “same.”
Thanks for listening, because no one else does <3

Hiiiiiii... So IDK what happened, but the podcast was cut off on this episode, so this is the updated/full version. Being imperfect is not something that happens normally for us, but we also are incapable of saying sorry... so this is feels awkward...Here's what you can expect this episode...We’ve been MIA because life is a blur, we don’t know what day it is, and we’re still trying to figure out if it's "hampster" or "hamster".Other things we touch upon:Confrontation cringe — We know it, we hate it, and we all make the same face when it happens. Also, why are we thinking about what happened 10 years ago at 2am when literally no one cares?Trad sons... do we know about them? Do we want them? We fill you in and weigh in...Halloween Meh-ness — It came, it went, we barely noticed. We’re emotionally fast-forwarding to Mariah Carey defrosting season.Laundry Etiquette — Why is there so much of it? Is it multiplying? Should we just move and start fresh?English Language Chaos — Words we’ve been saying wrong our entire lives… yet somehow, we’re the ones helping our kids with homework.Love ya, mean it.— K & R 💋
It's been a little so one can imagine (and as usual), you can't shut us up... It's also episode 20, WOW! Thank god the fame hasn't gotten to our heads yet! Just kidding it has.We cover everything from:LONG weekendsOur hot takes on screen time (yes, we tell our kids to chill and watch something — sue us)Love Is Blind Season 9 recap — our thoughts, the chaos, the cringeDancing with the Stars Season 34 — who’s shining and who should’ve sat downDiane Keaton appreciation (because obviously)More weird Gen Z stuff that makes us feel ancientThings we're watching: Love is Blind (season 9) on Netflix, Dancing with the Stars (Season 34) on ABC, Task on HBO Max, Black Rabbit on Netflix, & Hightown on Netflix.Hope you missed us because we missed you!XO Kelsey & Renay
We are not wishing away this gorgeous weather away, however we are excited for comfy clothes, uggs, and the upcoming holiday season! Also, we are LOVING prison pants and sweat sets! (Mom uniforms, but make it chic).Plus, forget “Never Have I Ever”… we’re playing Would You Rather—and let’s just say the answers got way more OMG-worthy than we expected for a random school night.Thanks for listening, love ya!xo K&R
Soccer/fall sports are here and in full tilt, and we already have trauma to dump. Are we loving seeing our little chickens enjoy playing? Yes. Are we navigating/barely surviving the sports/mom shuffle with kids while watching other kids on the sidelines? Also yes!!Unknown Number on Netflix... Have you watched? SPOILER ALERT: we give alllll of our hot takes.Have you seen the trend, "He's a 10, BUT..."? We have examples and we have thoughts on what can either bring a guy up to a 10 or make a 10 a 2... Let's just say it doesn't take much.XO K&R
The School Morning Hustle & Which Mom Are You: A, B, or C?Are you keeping your cool? We're trying over here! School mornings are not for the weak! In this episode, we’re talking all things before school, morning chaos, & shift in routine — the alarm snoozes, the “where’s your backpack?” shuffle, and the carpool countdown.We’ll also break down the three “mom types” of the morning hustle:Type A: Lunches packed the night before, outfits laid out, coffee already brewing.Type B: A little scattered, but somehow everyone gets out the door on time (mostly).Type C: Pure survival mode — socks don’t match, but hey, the kids made it to school.Which one are you? Spoiler: you might be a little bit of all three depending on the day.Tune in for laughs and some real mom talk to make you feel normal. Because at the end of the day, we’re all just trying to get everyone out the door (and maybe even brush our own hair or brush their teeth in general)... but seriously!Love ya!K&R
CAN YOU BELIEVE Summer is ending and the kids are going back to school???!!!!! Same! But also we're ready and not. Are you ready for a routine or are you a type B mama?

Because no one else does!Love Ya!<3 K&R
We dive into a lot during this episode from our kids separation anxiety, to some of our favorite local spots... But we NEED to know... What would you do?? Your best friend/sibling cheated—Do you call them out? Distance yourself? Give them an ultimatum to tell their partner? Or support them no matter what? We have a MUCH different stance on this (shocking)!We bounce around the southcoast to Santa's Village, we discuss some of our favorite spots and the insider scoop on what to order and if we'd go back.Need recs on what to watch in your spare time? Don't worry, Renay has us covered (per usual). Now to find that time...Gloves are off! Thanks for listening, because no one else does <3XO K&R
C'mon, can we just admit that not everyday is magical being a parent? Sometimes our kids are not great, sometimes we our out touched, and on our last nerve, but isn't that ok??Let's talk about mom rage, have you ever experienced it?

Just MAYBE!!Love ya!Xoxox K&R
We go over a little bit of a lot... from marriage unfiltered (we hear your feedback and expand on it), mom guilt and how it is debilitating, yelling (is it really THAT bad??), Gen Z slang (wtf are they saying??), and so much more!Thanks for listening, because no one else does!XO K&R

Episode 6:Toxic traits, or what we have concluded, probably our personality traits...Highlights also include the stomach bug and diva cups.I honestly wish I had more to say, but I think this episode just speaks for itself and I don't know if that's a good thing or bad thing...Love ya!XO-us
