This week Melanie and Allison return from an short and unplanned break. The episode begins with Melanie continuing her challenges with day-long dance recitals and how someone applied lipstick to her daughter without permission, not only triggering an allergic reaction but us saying "Don't touch my kid!". Naturally, the conversation expands to etiquette around touching others' children.

We also talk about saying 'no' to social obligations in an effort to keep our sanity and Melanie's daughter away from the things she cannot eat. And Melanie's mom provides some great advice on how to keep your kid's birthday parties under control.

Allison shares a story about wearing clothes that might be too comfortable around the house: Murphy's Law came knocking at the door! And, just what is the reason for all those tiny holes we sometimes find on our tee shirts?

Other things we talk about:

Things kids say... boys vs. girl version. If we kept a journal they would definitely be different!

Can a Tesla detect ghosts when you drive through a cemetery? Let us know if you've tried this --- and your findings!

Speaking of cemeteries, Melanie shares information about her experience at Universal's Halloween Horror Nights and wonders what it's like to work there.

And, because we love animals Melanie shares that she now begun following pot belly pigs on Instagram, how she wants ANOTHER Newfoundland, her plans to leave Scarlett - her African Grey parrot - in her will.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
