Call Your Sister

On this episode we talk through each of our postpartum journeys with all five of our kiddos.  We had such different experiences with each kid.  We discuss maternity leave, postpartum depression/anxiety and life with one kid vs two or three.  We both had experiences with postpartum trauma that is still triggering to us to this day.  Birth and delivery was something that came easy for both of us so it was fun to reflect back on that ...

On this episode we talk about rules… that aren’t really rules and some family superstitions.  Our mom has some older superstitions that she has passed onto us andddd given us both a complex.  Did you have to be home when the streetlights came on? Did you grow up being told that you cannot bounce the ball in the house? Did you think that the dome lights on inside your car was illegal? We touch base on all of these “rules” and chat a...

On this episode we discuss our personal “icks” and unpopular opinions.  We define what an ick is to us and clarify the difference between an ick and a pet peeve.  This episode is lighthearted and a glimpse into our lives outside of motherhood.  

Tune in if you want to hear us go ham on things that drive us nuts and give us the ick. 

We are glad you’re here! We hope you enjoy!

On this episode we talk all about what we have gained from motherhood – the confidence, decision making ability, time management, and not to mention the pure joy we get from having the privilege to be moms.  We also discuss things that we have realized in life that really don’t matter.  The size of your house is not a direct reflection of the love shared in your home. 

We know the tough times can be trying but the highs far outweigh...

On this episode we decided that it would be a good time to discuss traveling with kids.  Spring Break is right around the corner, so we wanted to share our favorite tips and tricks for traveling.  We talk about road trips vs flying and how we have managed to nail down a process when flying with kids.  Our flying destinations currently include direct, non-stop flights out of our nearby airport – we are not airline boujie.  We do not...

On this episode we talk about some pretty heavy life feelings: anxiety, overstimulation and the mental load.  We discuss what type of anxiety we experience, what causes our anxiety and how we handle it.  Our anxiety is reflected in household chaos and intrusive thoughts that no one ever talks about. Are you fight, flight or freeze?

In this episode we discuss our different parenting styles.  We dive into Sarcastic Parenting and Gentle Parenting.  We both have such different parenting styles which include a bit of sarcasm and choices.  Mellany’s style is a survival tactic and Marley’s style definitely takes a lot more conscious effort and work.

We also talk about things we said we would NEVER do as parents.  Stickers on your car window? Sure. Mismatched clothes?...

In this first episode we jump right into how this podcast came to be and how our morning phone calls turned into the idea of sitting down and recording the overview of our daily convos in hopes that they might help others, make them laugh, or be relatable content to anyone else out there.

We also introduce our immediate families and which kids go with which sister and even a shoutout to the pups.  We discuss our small-town...
