CHECK OUT Ep. 35: Those damn school lunches!

When we started this podcast, we asked the burning question on every busy woman’s mind: What the f*ck is for dinner? Now, 10 months later and amidst a pandemic, we are asking a new question: What the f*ck is for lunch?

As if Covid-19 hasn’t screwed up our way of living enough, it has impacted parents of school children in a way that no one talks about… it has put an end to Pizza Day lunches and other fundraising lunch initiatives, which means moms around the world are stuck making lunches EVERY. GODDAMN. DAY! We don’t know about you, but we are sick of it! And, despite one of us being organized (and smart) enough to make her kids’ lunches in the evening, the other one of us is not. Nor will she ever be! Why? Because she, seemingly, loves the chaos that results from procrastinating everything... but she knows she’s not alone!

CHECK OUT Ep. 34: Stuck in the middle
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

With divorce rates on the rise and blended families becoming more common, there is a very important question that single parents need to consider - to what degree would you allow your new partner discipline your child(ren), if at all?

Join Tania & Judy as they discuss what they think they would do in this situation. Despite it being a hypothetical conversation, it doesn't take long before they have more questions than answers. For example, does the length of the relationship dictate your answer or the status (i.e. married vs. dating)? What happens when your partner and child(ren) don’t see eye to eye? When do you step in, if at all? Either way, one thing is for sure, it must be real hard being the biological parent when you’re stuck in the middle!

CHECK OUT Ep. 33: To flu shot or not to flu shot
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

As if living through this Covid-19 pandemic for the last 7 months wasn't enough, we are now entering flu season. Like we needed anything else to worry about!

Join Tania & Judy as they discuss the burning question on most people's minds: Are you getting the flu shot this year? If you are, will you get it for your kid(s)? Despite one of us never having had a flu shot and the other having it a few times, they are pretty confident about their decision for this year... well, sort of. Ok, not really.

What will you be doing?

CHECK OUT Ep. 32: Puppy dog eyes
(SWIPE 👉🏻 for sound byte)

If you're a parent, you will never forget the first time you gazed into your baby's eyes. In a split second, a myriad of emotions sweep over you and leave you in a state of euphoria - unconditional love, adoration, pride, and a mixture or fear and excitement, just to name a few. There is nothing like it... well, actually there is...

In this episode, Tania & Judy share an announcement they never thought they'd make again - one of them has welcomed a new baby to their family! He is perfect - beautiful brown eyes, a cute button nose, and hair to be envious of. The only thing different from the rest of the family is, he has four legs! Who knew either of us would be expanding our family, especially during a pandemic.

Join our reflective discussion about how we might finally perfect our parenting techniques with baby #4, especially since he can't talk back.

CHECK OUT Ep. 31: Snitches get stitches
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

Have you ever been caught in the middle of a situation and didn’t know if you should tell someone or keep it to yourself? What if you knew your friend’s partner was cheating on them - would you tell them to protect them or would you not tell them to protect yourself? For the record, we are talking about seeing it with your own eyes NOT hearsay.

In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss what they would do if they found out their friend’s partner was cheating on them. As it turns out, one of them has been caught in this predicament more than once, and decided to follow their gut and do what they believed was the right thing. But, after much discussion, the “right thing” no longer seems black or white but more a hazy gray. In a surprising turn of events, team Ride of Die moves over to team Snitches get Stitches! The question is, on which team do you belong?

CHECK OUT Ep. 30: What we wish we knew before we had kids
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

Remember when you needed something and all you had to do was look for it where you left it? Or what about when you cleaned the house in the morning and it would still be clean by the time you went to bed? Or what about when you didn’t have to worry where you placed medication, chemicals, or even markers? Yeah… us neither!

In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss all the things they wish they knew before they had kids. They don’t mean the obvious things, like body changes or always being tired. They mean the unexpected surprises, like artwork on the walls and drawings on the couches. Who knew the renovations you did to create your ‘dream’ family home would be ruined by the little hands for whom you created it?

CHECK OUT Ep. 29: Back to school?
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

It’s the moment parents have been waiting for (and dreaming about) since March. The countdown is finally over (after 10,893 days!) and “freedom” is so close you can almost taste it… except it’s not sweet, like we expected. It’s bittersweet! What’s going to happen in the next few weeks is leaving parents panicked, worried and doubting their decision.

In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss their back-to-school plans for their children and how they came to their decisions. This one is for the books as there is clearly no one “right” decision and there are many things to consider - mental health vs. academics; socialization vs. safety; taking a risk or playing it safe. No matter what you decide, just know you are a great parent and you made the right choice!

CHECK OUT Ep. 28: The WEIGHTing game
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

Have you ever looked at an old photo of yourself and wished you were as “fat” now as you thought you were then? Meaning, you weren’t fat at all back then but you were your worst critic - as we usually are - and now you realize how ridiculous you were being (and how hot you were)? Us, too!

In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss their weight gain and weight loss journeys both pre pregnancy and post, but also their experiences during COVID. (SPOILER: They both fell off the wagon during lockdown!) Tania usually gains weight in the winter (holiday baking is her weakness!) and then works to lose it before the summer, while Judy is more consistent all around. In the last year, having lost the 15 pounds she gained going back to school, Tania has witnessed first hand just how important diet really is. Exercise is a bonus, if you can find something you enjoy doing. At the end of the day, being comfortable in your own skin is the ultimate goal… and if it means eating an extra slice of pizza or saying yes to dessert, then GO FOR IT! We all deserve a treat now and then. 💕

CHECK OUT Ep. 27: Itsy Bitsy Spider
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

Despite all the ‘extra time’ we’ve had during lockdown, we just can’t seem to stay on top of certain things around the house… such as dusting! But really, who actually likes dusting, anyway?

In this episode, Tania discusses with Judy her recent baby spider infestation. They’ve been haunting her for a few nights by congregating in the hundreds on the ceilings in her bedroom and ensuite. Needless to say, it’s made for some sleepless nights, some hilarious videos, and some riveting discussions. For example, do you know how many spiders we eat in our sleep per year? Tune in to find out!

CHECK OUT Ep. 26: I miss you, Mom.
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

Death is inevitable. We are born; we live; we die. Many people die before their time but almost everyone dies before their loved ones are ready to let them go. But, do the loved ones left behind ever let go… especially when it’s your best friend?

In this emotional episode, Judy reflects on what would’ve been her mom’s 78th birthday as well as the 4-year anniversary of her passing. She opens up about her mom’s last days and how she has been dealing with her grief ever since. You may want to grab some tissues for this one.

*SPOILER: Time does NOT heal everything!*

CHECK OUT Ep. 25: Covid diaries, Entry 3 (sound byte in comments)

The Covid pandemic isn’t over yet but you know what is? eLearning! The days of eLearning and homeschooling and Google Classroom and pretending to be a teacher as well as a mom (and employee) are OVER... for now! Not only is it time to raise a glass (the one you’ve been day-drinking from for the last 4 months will work!) but it’s also time to celebrate - WE SURVIVED!

In their final weekly episode before moving to bi-weekly episodes for the summer, Tania & Judy check in to see how the last few weeks of homeschooling went. Not surprisingly, it wasn’t without incidence. The battles at home continued, whether with eLearning, screen time, or just lack of time alone. They are so glad that now they only have to worry about keeping the kids entertained every day for the next two months of summer break. Wait…WHAT?!?!

CHECK OUT Ep. 24: Dirty hair, don’t care, and other ramblings.
(sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

This episode is one of the first ones Tania & Judy recorded - they like to joke it’s their “Seinfeld episode”. It starts with a simple comment from Judy about her hair, and leads into a myriad of other discussions - including personal hygiene, the “mom cut”, baby weight, excuses not to work out, and other ramblings. The most meaningful is the last story Tania shares about the origins of their jingle and why Judy is her BFF for life!

CHECK OUT Ep. 23: This is 40!
(Sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

First and foremost, Tania & Judy are comfortable being in their fourth decade, especially since aging is a privilege not everyone is afforded. They also feel they are living their best life and exemplify the mantra, “40 is the new 30”... except they could really do without the side effects of getting older, such as no longer being carded at the liquor store.

In this episode, the BBFs reflect on some of their unexplained aches and pains since turning 40, and ponder whether they’re actually the result of getting older or becoming mothers. One thing is for sure, 20 year olds now look like babies to them… but they’re convinced they could totally hold their own amongst the younger generation. That is, if they could stay up past midnight without turning into pumpkins!

CHECK OUT Ep. 22: The dark side of social media (Sound byte in comments 👇🏻)
We live in a digital world. From the moment we open our eyes to the moment we close them, we immerse ourselves in an alternate reality. Most of us know the difference between what is real and what is fake. And, while it’s getting harder and harder to distinguish what is photoshopped and what is not, most of us are beyond the point of being completely brainwashed by the unrealistic standards that are jammed down our throat at every click. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about our children!
In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss their concerns about the negative impact social media is having on kids. From the constant duck-faced selfies to the heavy contouring with makeup to getting surgical procedures before turning 18, kids are dealing with body dysmorphia and insecurities on a level our generation never had to deal with. We all have the right to do what we want to our bodies but how can someone alter their appearance permanently before they even know what they were meant to look like? Join this passionate conversation, and let us know what you think!

CHECK OUT Ep. 21: Fed is best! (sound byte in comments 👇🏻)

If you dream about having children, do you imagine yourself breastfeeding or do you plan to bottle feed? Do you already have a child(ren) whom you exclusively breastfed, used formula from day one with, or did both? You know what those scenarios have in common? THEY ARE ALL GREAT OPTIONS!

In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss their preconceived notions of, and experiences with, breastfeeding. There were highs and lows, a ton of tears, and an overwhelming sense of guilt. Nobody ever told them how hard breastfeeding was nor did they mention the stigma around formula feeding! If they have learned one thing after having three kids each, it’s that how you choose to feed your baby is nobody’s choice but your own. It’s time to throw the stigma (and judgement) out the window and give the proverbial finger to the ideal that “breast is best”.

It’s been five episodes (and 3,017 days!) since our first Covid diary entry; we figured it was time for a check-in. In this episode, Tania & Judy share their experiences during the past 5 weeks of social isolation (due to the Covid-19 pandemic). A lot of the struggles remain the same BUT Tania has found a silver lining while Judy’s positive outlook has been tarnished by homeschooling woes. Life has changed yet every day remains the same. If nothing else, they are still just two regular moms with three kids, trying to make it to bedtime after a day of homeschooling, cooking 167 meals, separating 49 sibling rivalries, and being told 24 times they are the “worst mom ever”! Welcome to paradise, everyone!

We are not perfect. Nobody is! But, everybody has a pet peeve, right? Well, when it comes to typos and grammatical mistakes - especially repetitive ones - Tania & Judy cannot (and will not!) turn a blind eye. They are self-proclaimed Grammar Police and they will not hold back.

In this episode, Tania & Judy, who are NOT English majors, share stories of poor grammar and careless typos that have given them nightmares. They both share a passion for ‘old school grammar’ and aren’t very forgiving of those who use homophones incorrectly. Your grammar is a reflection of you, and we’re just “hear” to try to help you portray your best self to the world!

Do you have a passion that you want to share with the world or a solution to a problem that could help others? Have you ever thought about starting your own business but didn’t know where to begin? Are you a mompreneur struggling with work-life balance? You came to the right place!

In the first installment of our Boss Babes series, Tania & Judy interview Maria Cristina, who is a single mom who recently made the decision to leave her first successful business to start a new one. Despite having to pivot and adapt because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she remains positive as she shares her tips and best practices. Above all, she shares some really great advice about being a mompreneur and how guilt is a wasted emotion.

Do you always feel tired - physically, mentally or emotionally? If you answered ‘no’, chances are you are neither a woman nor a mom, and this episode is not for you! 😂 But seriously, can we talk about the mental load women carry around, 24 x 7 x 365? The never-ending ‘to do’ list and the constant worrying about other people is enough to do anyone’s head in.

In this episode, Tania & Judy talk about their mental load and the different ways they feel tired. Ironically, this was recorded two days before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, so whatever level of tired they were feeling then is probably a vacation to how tired they feel now!

Are you someone who gives gifts for every occasion or just the few special ones? Better yet, what do you do when someone tells you they want NOTHING for the occasion? Do you happily oblige (and risk the repercussions) or do you buy something anyway?

In this episode, Tania & Judy discuss their gift-giving protocol when it comes to holidays, even the “Hallmark holidays”. Are they over-the-top or practical? Do they prefer gifts or cards (don’t roll your eyes!). What about the dreaded holiday classroom gifts? Surprisingly, their priorities are very similar, except when it comes to buying gifts from their pet for their significant other! At the end of the day, it truly is the thought that counts... unless the gifts you’re giving are really for you! 😝
