I smile because I'm your mother.  I laugh because there's nothing you can do about it.  :)  What a treat it was to interview our daughters on Mother's Day of all days!!!  That's right - this episode is "The One About Our Daughters"!  We each asked our daughters different questions to see how well they know us, and then they asked us questions to see how well we know them.  We also talked about some of our favorite memories from their childhood.  This one ranks right up there with the husband episode as one of our absolute faves.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today with... OUR HUSBANDS!!! It's "The One About Marriage" where we interview our misters with questions submitted by our viewers.  We've both been married for over a couple of decades, wow has it been that long?

Are you going cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs during quarantine?  Have you been hiding in your closet just to try to paint your nails?  Finding the time for self care when your entire family is cooped up at home with you might not be easy, but it is oh-so-necessary!  During this episode, we're talking about some of the different ways we are trying to take care of ourselves during this crazy weird time.  

Have you heard the quote that goes something like this? "I thought I used to "worry" a lot when my kids were little.  Then I had teenagers.  You know what I would give right now to worry about sippy cups and nap time?" Today's episode is all about what it's like to raise teenagers.  It's not easy but we are discussing and sharing a few ideas we've done while raising teens.  There is no magic potion or magic words, but having a discussion and educating ourselves to what our teens are going through has helped us keep at least a little bit of our sanity. Why we even recall some of our own teenage mishaps. So the truth is, when your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is excited to see you." -Nora Ephron
