This Mom's Life

THIS has been a hell of a day for Dana... and who knew Nic was such a rockstar at installing carseats??? We also touch on sass from our almost five year olds, staying OFF the scale if you want to be happy and... leggings?? 

Kids are in school and we found time to record an episode!! JOIN US!!

Whoops - wrong episode was uploaded...let's try this again!! Guys. We did it. Another episode, and all 4 kids were with us, or in the same house and awake. Hopefully we made some sense in between kids's demands!  Tonight's episode sponsored by rose and Cheerios. Enjoy!

We're back for season 2 (we just decided there would be seasons)!! In this episode, we talk kids getting older, the stress of the daily stress, Nic's incredible race achievement and Dana's daycare... isn't that what friends are for?? We've missed you guys!  As always, you can find us on Facebook @This Mom's Life, Instagram @thismomslifeshow and email us at Thismomslifeshow@gmail.com

We're back after two weeks of LIFE CRAZINESS!! In this episode, we chat all about how life is so crazy that we haven't had ONE HOUR to sit down and chat with a microphone! We talk mini vacations with our kids, and how it's impossible not to get sick after a trip to a theme park. We also talk about how we're either breaking up fights between our kids or retreating to our rooms with the door closed to get SILENCE. Finally, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all of our listeners! YOU ARE AMAZING!! 

We're back and in the same room this time! In this episode, we talk about how our husbands have figured out a way to disappear from life, at least once at day, VERY regularly! We also talk about how both of us are losing our minds with the non-stop talking of our 4 yr olds-is this normal? This CAN'T be normal!! Both of these things are definitely causing more day drinking, which Dana seems to have a solution of how to do without getting a headache or falling asleep at 5pm!

We're back from the dead (nope, not dejavu - one of us was actually SICK again)!! This time, we use the power of technology to connect with each other and catch up after a couple crazy weeks. We talk about how we always push ourselves too hard even though we know we shouldn't, say yes even though sometimes we need to say NO and how at the end of the day, no cleanse or diet will keep you healthy, clearly. So we may as well always drink wine and eat matzah crack.  Also, we welcome our friend Jenny Hopf - the founder of Momidarity, a virtual meetup for busy moms! We hear all about the idea behind her vision, how sessions have helped moms across the country, and hear another story about a mom who can do it all - be a wife and mom to two littles, have a full time job and you know, just start a company on the side!  Don't forget - Dana from TML is moderating the west coast session starting Thursday, April 20 and there are still a couple spots left!
