It’s officially back to school season, which means… new routines, new supplies, and yes—new germs. 🫠

In this episode, we’re talking:

• The back-to-school traditions we want to start with our kids
• What we’ve actually bought so far (and what’s still sitting in our carts)
• The annual brace yourself moment for the inevitable influx of sniffles, coughs, and colds

Plus, at the top of the episode, Candace shares why she’s officially entering her Season of “No” for the rest of the year. We’re talking boundaries, priorities, and saying no to what doesn’t serve us (with a little humor, of course).

Whether your kids are already in class or you’re still labeling supplies, this one’s a mix of real talk, laughs, and mom-life solidarity.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re sitting down with Megan McNamee, MPH, RDN, CLT – co-founder of Feeding Littles – for a conversation every parent needs to hear.

We talk all things feeding littles (pun intended):

• How Feeding Littles started and what inspired Megan’s mission
• The pep talk every stressed-out parent needs when it comes to feeding kids
• Why we all need to take a big, deep breath and chill out around food
• Simple, real-life ways to foster a healthy relationship with food for your kids (and maybe yourself too)
• Plus, the scoop on the brand-new Feeding Littles Lunches book that takes alllll the guesswork out of packing school lunches (seriously, total game changer)

If mealtime feels like a battle, or you just need reassurance that you’re not messing it all up, this episode is your permission slip to relax, laugh, and learn.

🎧 Tune in now – your dinnertime sanity (and your lunch-packing routine) might just thank you.

We’re back with a much-needed August catch-up! This week, we’re chatting about all the random things going on in our lives—because sometimes you just need a good mom group vent session.

Candace gave herself an impromptu “makeover” because she had an ugly makeup-free weekend and we’re here for this energy. She’s also on a mission to make her house cozy and cute by Christmas, despite the chaos that comes with, well… life.

We also get into the question of the moment: Is it too soon to be thinking about Halloween? (Spoiler: probably not.)

And then there's the second child convo—are they just universally wild, or is Whitney’s second just a special brand of unhinged? We break it down, mom-to-mom style.

Grab a coffee (or a Halloween-themed wine glass?), tune in, and come hang out with us for some real-talk and laughs.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re getting real about burnout — the kind that sneaks in slowly until suddenly everything feels like too much. We’re sharing our personal experiences with burnout, what it looks and feels like for us, and the little “tells” we’ve learned to spot before we hit a full-blown wall. Whether it’s snapping over spilled snacks, fantasizing about solo hotel stays, or just feeling like you’re failing at everything, we see you — and we’ve been there too. We talk about common signs of burnout that working moms often ignore, plus simple shifts and mindset reframes that can help you climb out of the chaos. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or just off, this is your invitation to pause, listen, and remember: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep pushing through.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re talking about something no one prepares you for — the return of your period after having a baby. Why is it so intense? Why does it feel like a whole new era of womanhood? And why does no one talk about this? We’re sharing our honest experiences with postpartum periods — from the surprising timing of their return, to how hormones, mood swings, and breastfeeding can all play a role.

We also chat about what’s normal, what caught us totally off guard, and some stories from past periods. If you’ve ever felt blindsided by the comeback of Aunt Flo or just want to feel less alone in the chaos of postpartum symptoms, this episode is for you. As always, it’s real, unfiltered, and full of things we probably shouldn’t say out loud… but do anyway.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re diving into one of our favorite internet trends and putting a motherhood spin on it: What would send a Renaissance-era mom into a coma? Spoiler: pretty much everything.

From baby monitors to dry shampoo, from Starbucks drive-thrus to iPads blasting Cocomelon, we’re imagining what modern mom life would look like through the eyes of a 1500s peasant woman — and the results are unhinged. Think of it as historical fiction… but chaotic and caffeinated.

We also talk about:

• How Amazon Prime would look like sorcery from the gods
• The Baby Brezza and how it’s basically a magical milk machine
• How modern medicine and vaccinations would either save her life… or get her burned at the stake

Plus, a little bit of laughing at ourselves — because when you really step back, our lives do look kind of wild.

This week on Mom Group Chat, we’re back with our July catch-up! We're talking about why the 4th of July is our absolute favorite holiday, sharing some of our most iconic Independence Day memories (including a projectile vomit situation), and chatting through our plans for this year.

We also get into:

• A nostalgic trip down memory lane with our favorite 4th of July holidays together
• Why we think we deserve a getaway to Nantucket, like... yesterday
• Candace’s current home improvement adventures
• And the usual mix of friendship, real-life updates, and a little daydreaming

⚠️ Quick disclaimer: We had some major technical difficulties while recording this one (looking at you, Whitney’s neighbor and the backyard wifi situation), so the episode is a little shorter than usual—but still packed with all the good stuff. Thanks for rolling with it!

We’re back with Part 2 of our potty training chat — and just to be clear: we are not experts. We’re still very much in the middle of it, figuring things out one accident at a time.

In this episode, we’re answering your most common questions about potty training, from how to start, to regressions, to whether you really need a little potty (jury’s still out). Plus, we’re sharing the best tips we got from other moms that made us feel a little more sane.

We also recap Father’s Day — the good, the chaotic, and the emotional — and talk about the summer sickness spiral that seems to be hitting every household right now.

Come for the potty talk, stay for the solidarity. You’re not alone, and you’re doing great. 💛
