Falling Into Mom Shaming: Parenting through Humor - Part 2 Oct 16, 2024

Andie and Angie are talking about mom shame once again! Yay! Actually, this episode is hilarious and relatable! Because let’s face it, sometimes mom shame can just creep into your life, and all of a sudden you’re left asking, “Wait, did she just shame me?” So watch out for those passive/aggressive comments… or maybe you’re completely unaware of it like Angie. The holidays can be especially tricky since there’s so much pressure to be the perfect mom. One question to ask yourself, or even another mom is, “Why do you feel so strongly about this topic?” Because it’s best when moms come ready to learn from other moms instead of judging them. Do you know who doesn’t get shamed? Volunteers! Turns out, no one shames the mom in a matching volunteer shirt who is ready to help! So grab your volunteer badge and get ready to laugh! Or maybe you need to even try parenting through humor! Andie and Angie share an important announcement at the end. Just remember mama, you’re doing a great job!

Fall Sickness: Is it a Cold or Allergies - Part 1 Sep 30, 2024

“Stay home and stay hydrated.” Does your child have a cold or just bad allergies? In this relatable episode of Mother Funny, Andie and Angie talk about back to school sickness. Kids have been back in school for a few months which means there is a good chance they have either already been sick, or they are about to get sick. It’s so unfortunate, but at least their immune system is getting stronger. Allergies can also be pretty bad during the fall so that just ads to the sneezes and coughs. Moms are often trying to figure out if their child has a cold or if they are just struggling with allergies. One thing is for sure, the stomach flu is the worst. In this hilarious episode Andie and Angie rename the stomach bug the stomach plague. They think the stomach flu needs a serious title that explains how awful the stomach plague actually is. So hold on tight, mama, because cold season has just begun, but the Mother Funny Tribe is there to encourage you through the hard times, and laugh with you during the gross or unbelievable times! You’ve got this!

Interview with Danielle - Part 1 Meal Planning Jul 31, 2024

Andie and Angie interview Angie’s sister Danielle, who is also the owner and property manager of Legacy Farms. In this episode, Danielle talks about meal planning, which is apparently important since kids want to eat dinner every night. The bad advice moms fall into is that they need to accommodate everyone's tastes. This can lead to making multiple meals for every dinner. It can be impossible for moms to accommodate everyone’s likes and dislikes. Danielle discusses how to meal plan for multiple kids of all different ages. Danielle’s meal planning journey began when she started watching the food network (thank you Rachael Ray) and also looking through Taste of Home magazine. Danielle's meal plans for four weekdays and one weekend meal. One pot meal lessens the dishes you have to do. Few ingredients, and few dishes. Sometimes trying new recipes with different textures and colors can be a win with the kids. Even just adding spices can change a meal entirely. Have realistic expectations when it comes to cooking. The more you practice cooking the better you’ll get. Sitting down as a family, and eating together without cell phones is a priority and good for your mental health. You can find Legacy Farms and Getaways on Facebook and VRBO

Summer as a mom can be a lot of work since your kids are with you most if not all of the time. Plus, kids apparently are extra hungry during the summer and need to eat snacks nonstop. Playdates, dollar days at the movies, library visits, reading, beach days, and Milkshake Mondays are activities that keep kids engaged all summer long. There is definitely an adjustment period siblings experience since they go from school and extracurricular activities to being together all day, every day. It's a whole new level of togetherness. Kids have been looking forward to summer for months. As Andie says, “The need for a break and to just rest is needed now more than ever before.” So take a deep breath, and know that Andie and Angie are cheering you on as you try to make summer as fun as possible.

Summertime Movies - Part 2 Jul 10, 2024

“We honor Dolly Parton and we love her so much with our whole hearts!” It’s summertime and moms are headed to the movies with their kids. It’s okay if you haven’t been to the movies in a while though. Let’s face it, moms are super busy. Or sometimes it’s just easier for moms to watch a movie with their kids at home. Andie and Angie talk all things Top Gun Maverick, Inside Out 2, Indiana Jones, Avengers, and more. One thing they both can agree on is how much they like the docuseries American Sweethearts (it used to be called Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team). Did you see the Cowboys halftime show when Dolly Parton performed? That was by far the best halftime show of all time! Andie and Angie absolutely love Dolly Parton! However, these two cousins don’t quite agree on Beyonce breaking into the country music scene. So grab some popcorn, or your cowboy boots, because this episode is funny, relatable, unexpected, and entertaining. And let’s face it, sometimes moms just need to sit back and laugh!

Yep! As Andie says, “Tell me you’re a homeschooler without telling me you’re a homeschooler!” So grab some popcorn and get ready to laugh with this dynamic duo.

Let Them Be Bored - Part 2 Jan 24, 2024

Guess what Mother Funny Tribe? It’s okay for your kids to be bored! Boredom today isn't the same as it was back in the day. Andie and Angie are talking about the kind of boredom that lets young minds wander and ignites creativity. Kids are so overbooked these days that they barely have a moment to wonder, discover, and zone out. But those moments of "just being" can help your child discover their true passions and interests! Kids today have jam-packed schedules, so they don’t have the time to be bored. So why not schedule some downtime? That’s right, actually plan for unstructured playtime throughout the week or on weekends. Join Andie and Angie for another laughter-filled episode where they champion the power of boredom, patience, and the magic of just being in the moment.

Let Them Be Bored - Part 1 Jan 22, 2024

In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie are talking about the super exciting topic- boredom. January might feel like the longest month of the year, especially when it’s cold outside. Long weekends, cold temps, and snow outside can have kids wandering through the house looking for something fun to do. It's at that moment when your kids declare the ultimate dreaded phrase: "Mom, I'm bored!" But guess what, there's no need to panic. Andie and Angie have been there and completely understand. As it turns out, short bursts of boredom actually encourage creativity and problem-solving skills. Boredom is actually a healthy and typical emotion for kids to feel. Crafts, puzzles, playing cards, board games, and painting are fantastic ideas to keep kids engaged and having fun. Sometimes all moms need to do is encourage their kids to come up with a fun activity all on their own. It’s amazing to see what kids can create when they are given the time and space to simply create whatever they want to. So take a deep breath mama’s because it’s not your job to entertain your kids 100% of the time. You’re already really busy being an amazing mom!

Expectations: Real Moms in the Real World - Part 2 Jan 17, 2024

“When it comes to expectations- you do you.” In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie are continuing their conversation about expectations. How do you break away from the unrealistic expectations of motherhood? Sometimes you’re giving your kids high-fives and hugs, while other times your toddler is on the floor having a tantrum. Accept the ebb and flow of motherhood, and you're golden. It can take a village to help you meet some of your mom expectations. But if your support system is super judgmental, walk down the street and find yourself a new village. Life’s too short for negativity! Andie and Angie put a positive spin on the Double Standard Technique and create “The Mother Funny Friendship Technique.” So give yourself grace and compassion when your expectations aren’t met, and remember to make expectations that work for you and your family. This episode is all about being the mom you want to be, setting realistic expectations, and laughing along the way. You’re doing a great job mama!

Expectations: Real Moms in the Real World - Part 1 Jan 15, 2024

“This is #motherfunnyreallife- there’s no such thing as the perfect mom.” In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie are talking all about expectations. And when it comes to expectations-they really are a powerful thing. Expectations can shape your entire mom experience since they influence how you think, feel, and cope. Expectations can even affect your mood. Here’s the thing – there's no such thing as the perfect mom. Seriously, not even one! Have you ever scrolled through #MomLife on Instagram and thought, "Am I the only one whose life isn't a perfectly filtered dream?" You're not alone! As it turns out, #MomLife is not always #RealLife. Real mom life is a rollercoaster, and it's okay to just be okay! You don't get a manual for motherhood before you have kids. Nope, you learn on the job. And guess what? High expectations can be joykillers. When you're always worried about measuring up, it's tough to cherish the beautiful chaos of motherhood. So, dear moms, get ready to let go of the perfect mom myth and embrace the chaos. Or as Andie says “Let go and let God.” So join Andie and Angie on this hilarious, heartfelt journey through motherhood.

Angie has some strong, magical opinions that even the most exhausted moms can appreciate. Remember, you don't have to do it all! What's magical enough? What's exciting enough? Even an underwhelming Elf on the Shelf can be a superstar in your child’s eyes. Sure, there are times when moms wake up in the middle night panicked… but the thrill of trying to find Elf on the Shelf every morning makes it all worthwhile.

Santa Claus & Saint Nicholas - Part 2 Dec 13, 2023

Gifts & Gratitude, Charity & Children - Part 2 Dec 06, 2023

In this holly-jolly episode of Mother Funny! Andie is on a mission to put Christ back in Christmas. But first, she’s got to explain the presence of Generalissimo- the illustrious dog painting that now adorns her wall. Gift giving can sometimes feel like a puzzle, but Andie and Angie are here to remind you that it's not about the price tag or the extravagance. Sometimes, it's the $13 painting or the $25 boots that bring the biggest smiles. Christmas can be delightfully random, and it's all about the joy of unwrapping the unexpected. When it comes to gift giving, Andie and Angie take you to the heart of it – what does the person truly want? What's best for them right now? What stage of life are they in? Homemade gifts, cookies in a jar and/or hot chocolate themed gifts are great ideas when you are giving gifts to a lot of people. But please don’t give Angie a plant.

Seasonal Struggles: Moms Tackling Holiday Chaos - Part 2 Nov 29, 2023

"I’m the mom with the mom bun, barely awake, drinking my coffee, barely moving, trying to take pictures.” So what type of Christmas Mom are you? In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie discuss the different types of moms on Christmas Day.

“It’s important to talk about so moms don’t feel alone.” In this episode of Mother Funny, Andie and Angie are continuing their conversation with Dr. Mom (aka Dr. Jamie or Dr. Poust). Mommy Burnout is something every mom can relate to. Sure, it’s not the most uplifting topic, but sometimes you just need to laugh through the hard times. Mommy burnout is seen at different times, and in different circumstances. Plus, it can change as your kids grow up or go through different phases. Moms who work outside the home can be burned out or emotionally drained at work, but then they come home and try to balance mom life. It can be a lot to handle. But guess what? There is no shame in asking for help. Sometimes you might just need a friend to listen to your struggles, and other times you might need help getting your kids to martial arts. Andie, Angie, and Dr. Jamie want you to know that you aren’t alone. And if there’s a time you start to feel overwhelmed maybe you just need to take a mommy time out. A few minutes to collect your thoughts might be exactly what you need. So go ahead and lower your expectations a little bit because the "Perfect Pinterest Mom" doesn’t exist.

Candy: The Day After Halloween - Part 2 Nov 01, 2023

Let’s face it, you’re all just trying to make it through the day. The district Angie’s kids go to has the day off on November first. So Angie's on a mission to spread the 'No School on November 1st Movement.’ Seriously, it makes so much sense. Halloween night is like Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve rolled into one- full of excitement, chaos, staying up late, and of course sugar galore! Halloween night is exhilarating and exhausting. It’s pretty much impossible to get kids to school on time the morning after Halloween. Andie suggests that November 1st should be a National Mental Health Day so kids and moms can rest, relax, and eat a ton of Halloween candy! Andie also has a new thesis she’s working on titled: Could Drugs be in Halloween Candy? Yes, this is a not so Mother Funny topic, but sometimes certain things need to be addressed. You definitely want to hear this discussion. It’s funny and informative. One thing most moms can agree on is that you need to check your kid's candy after trick or treating. If it's open, toss it. If it has a weird name, say goodbye. Or your kids can donate the candy they don’t want to the Candy Fairy! Now this is a gem of an idea! It's a win-win for everyone, and kids can make a small fortune! You can also donate candy to those in need, add it to trail mix, stash it in your purse, or donate the candy to troops serving in the military. Brilliant, right? So grab your coffee and get ready to laugh!

In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie take a trip down memory lane. Of course Angie loved Halloween as a kid and even went trick-or-treating when she was in college! Andie on the other hand learned a hilarious life lesson when she was a teenager and went to a Halloween party dressed as a hobo. Angie is concerned the term hobo isn’t politically correct and this causes the two to launch into a funny discussion as they try to figure out if hobos will indeed be offended by the term.

You know, the fun-loving, funny, and charming family members who might believe anything their older siblings or older cousins, tell them. So be careful what you say because they can spend their entire childhood believing it’s true. At least that is what happened to Angie. Andie and Angie tell about a time when they were young and Andie made up a story so Angie would put on her life jacket while they were on the boat. Well, Angie believed that story until she was 17 years old! That’s right…17! It’s okay though, because they can laugh about it now. And that’s the thing with youngest children… they try to be silly, and goofy and make everyone laugh as a way to ease tension in their household. Surprisingly, Andie and Angie actually both agree to disagree with the research that’s out there. You don’t want to miss it. They are finally both on the same page when it comes to youngest children being silly. So go ahead mamas, and laugh away when your little one does something funny.

They are even in a "Youngest Club" with their Uncle Jeff! So, what's the lowdown on these youngest siblings? Well, they are risk-takers, outgoing, fun-loving, and the life of the party. But let's be real, they face some challenges too. They have to keep up with their older siblings' packed schedules and extracurricular activities. Now, here's the scoop from the research mamas – they say the youngest children in the family are 'spoiled.' Angie does not agree with that research… in fact, she rejects it completely. You definitely want to hear the debate that Andie and Angie have because Andie seems to side with the research. It’s hilarious and authentic at the same time. One thing Andie and Angie do agree on is that most parents relax their parenting style the more kids they have. By the time the youngest one is born, they are pretty much raising themselves. It’s a good thing youngest children are so charming.

Middle Children: The Peacekeepers of the Family - Part 2 Oct 18, 2023

Yes, this episode is longer than most of their other episodes, but that’s because middle children deserve the extra time and attention. Have you ever noticed people say line up oldest to youngest?

Oldest Children: The Reliable Leaders of the Family - Part 2 Oct 11, 2023

In this podcast episode, Angie and Andie discuss tips and tricks for parenting firstborn children, drawing insights from professionals in the field. Though we recognize that Andie did get an A in calculus, they wanted to give another professional opinion a chance :)
Angie and Andie discuss:
1. Characteristics of Firstborns:
- Firstborn children are often natural leaders and driven.
- They may have a strong desire for things to go their way.
- Many firstborns exhibit perfectionist tendencies.
- They tend to be reliable, great caregivers, and nurturing individuals.
- Other characteristics include being ambitious, scholarly, enterprising, logical, and energetic.
2. Handling the Need for Perfection:
- Recognize that firstborns often have a deep-seated need to be perfect.
- Teach children that making mistakes is acceptable and won't affect their worth or love.
- Be willing to admit your own mistakes to set an example.
- Occasionally make a mistake on purpose and show how to rectify it, emphasizing that it's okay.
3. Avoid Overcorrecting:
- Avoid overcorrecting or nitpicking your firstborn child.
- Don't overly criticize them; instead, focus on constructive feedback.
- Understand that their perfectionism may make it harder for them to admit when they're wrong.
4. Encourage Independence:
- Allow your firstborn child to learn new tasks or problem-solving on their own.
- This helps them feel comfortable with imperfection and builds confidence.
5. Set Clear Expectations:
- Firstborns often respond well when they know the rules and expectations.
- Clearly communicate your expectations to them.
- Use phrases like "Tell me how I can please you" to involve them in defining rules and behaviors.
6. Special Privileges:
- Consider giving firstborns slightly later bedtimes or special privileges.
- This can help them feel acknowledged for their age and responsibilities.
7. Avoid Making Them Built-in Babysitters:
- Be cautious not to rely on your firstborn as a constant babysitter for younger siblings or other children.
- Respect their boundaries and understand that they have their own schedules and responsibilities.
Andie and Angie share (maybe overshare) personal experiences and anecdotes throughout the podcast, offering valuable insights into parenting firstborn children. They emphasize the importance of balancing expectations and responsibilities to ensure the well-being and development of firstborns while acknowledging their unique traits.

Grateful, Thankful, Blessed - Part 2 Oct 04, 2023

In this Mother Funny episode, Andie and Angie continue talking about gratitude and thankfulness. They are two moms on a mission to prove that you don’t need to wait until Thanksgiving Day to be thankful or grateful. But who doesn’t love a funny Thanksgiving story even if it’s only October? When Angie’s daughter was in preschool, she told her teacher she was thankful her mom helped at the bar. You definitely want to hear how that story turns out. But let’s face it, it isn’t always easy for kids to be grateful. There are times when they are stressed out and spiraling that the last thing they want to do is think of all the things they are thankful for. It’s during those times (and many other times) that kids need to be reminded, helped, and encouraged to be grateful. It’s amazing because gratitude can actually lower stress levels. So when life seems to be extra chaotic for you and/or your kids, being thankful and grateful can be the little piece of light you need to get through the day. So keep going Mama! You’re doing a great job! The Mother Funny Tribe is thankful for you!

Fall is such a busy season for moms since they are driving their kids to school and all of their extracurricular activities. When the world is spinning all around you, and you’re running from place to place, just stop, be present, and take a moment to be thankful (regardless of what month it is). Gratitude can actually reset your heart and your mind. This episode is both hilarious and heartwarming. But you should know that if you’re going to practice gratitude in October… you’re a rule breaker.

Interview with Danielle - Part 1 Meal Planning Jul 03, 2023

Andie and Angie interview Angie’s sister Danielle, who is also the owner and property manager of Legacy Farms. In this episode, Danielle talks about meal planning, which is apparently important since kids want to eat dinner every night. The bad advice moms fall into is that they need to accommodate everyone's tastes. This can lead to making multiple meals for every dinner. It can be impossible for moms to accommodate everyone’s likes and dislikes. Danielle discusses how to meal plan for multiple kids of all different ages. Danielle’s meal planning journey began when she started watching the food network (thank you Rachael Ray) and also looking through Taste of Home magazine. Danielle's meal plans for four weekdays and one weekend meal. One pot meal lessens the dishes you have to do. Few ingredients, and few dishes. Sometimes trying new recipes with different textures and colors can be a win with the kids. Even just adding spices can change a meal entirely. Have realistic expectations when it comes to cooking. The more you practice cooking the better you’ll get. Sitting down as a family, and eating together without cell phones is a priority and good for your mental health.

Part of being a mom is worrying, but when the worry becomes excessive, starts to affect your mood, and/or gets in the way of your everyday life, then that’s when worry has crossed the line and becomes anxiety. Angie talks about a time she had to be hyperaware when her daughter had health issues. Going for long walks helped her deal with the stress of the situation. Andie and Angie discuss other strategies to help with anxiety including journaling, positive self-talk, deep breathing, coloring, and of course watching Bob Ross. Sometimes being aware of the stress, and how you’re feeling, can help you cope with anxiety. At the end of the episode Andie and Angie laugh hysterically as Angie explains how she tried to make her compression socks look super cool when she was pregnant. Make sure you check out Instagram so you can watch Andie demonstrate how to do the tapping technique. This episode is fun, relatable, and filled with insightful info!

Anxiety Happens - Part 1 May 21, 2023

How does anxiety affect your everyday life? Does anxiety impact your parenting? In this episode, Andie and Angie laugh and tell funny stories about how anxiety has affected them over the years. Let’s face it, anxiety and stress are part of the motherhood journey. There is so much to worry about when you’re a mom. Moms have a hyperawareness of how unsafe things can be. Plus, the more stories you hear can make you feel anxious about situations that rarely even happen. Anxiety can be a way to keep us safe and protected, but it can also cause us to think or do some random things. Andie shares a hilarious story about a time she panicked on an airplane, and randomly pulled another passenger's hair. She also mentions a time she started throwing luggage at the airport. Andie talks about how anxiety affected her parenting since she found herself parenting like a security guard- always ready for the worst case scenario. This episode is hilarious and relatable. Just know that when it comes to anxiety, you’re not alone.

Self-Care - Part 2 May 17, 2023

“A lot of parenting is hiding the junk that you’re eating.” In this episode, Andie and Angie continue their conversation about self-care. How do you feel when you buy a new cookbook? Is that at the top of your self-care list? Don't worry, it's definitely not at the top of Angie's list either. In this episode, Andie and Angie discuss a list of self-care ideas including working out, meeting up with a friend, getting a pedicure, and starting a new Bible plan (shoutout Through the Word). Sometimes self-care can be as simple as drinking a cup of coffee while shopping, or watching Bob Ross (Andie's fav). When Angie was pregnant, eating KFC a few times a week was exactly what she needed to feel better! Make sure to listen to the outtakes at the end because Andie and Angie laugh hysterically as they come up with their new secret code word.

Self-Care - Part 1 May 14, 2023

As they say, “If you’re a mess, everybody pays.” Have you ever rushed out the door only to realize your kid isn’t wearing any shoes? Or maybe you’ve rocked an entire workout at the gym with your leggings inside out. And that’s when you know you need a little self-care. In this episode, Andie and Angie talk about how self-care is taking care of your mental, emotional, and physical health, as well as finding that overall sense of well-being. All you need to do is figure out what brings you joy, peace, and a sense of rejuvenation. The beauty of self-care is that it evolves and changes throughout your parenting journey. Here’s the key - self-care needs to be intentional. Sometimes, you just need a well-deserved nap, a good book, a leisurely walk, or even some mindless scrolling on social media. There might be times in your very busy life when it’s better to show up five minutes late and calm, rather than on time and completely frazzled. Take a moment for yourself and embrace the chaos. You’ve got this mama!

Andie and Angie also have an important PSA for husbands- Mother’s Day is a day to celebrate and honor the mother of their children. Andie and Angie laugh about a Mother’s Day tea they had with their moms and grandma that was a little stressful at the time, but hilarious to relive now.

How do you decide what school option is best for your child? So many options, which to choose?! In this episode Andie & Angie discuss the pros and cons of homeschool and charter homeschool options.

Homeschool has changed over the years, and apparently there’s also a little bit of a rivalry between homeschool and charter schools.

How can moms support their kids when their kids are going through a difficult time with a friend? In this episode Andie and Angie discuss bad advice they were given as kids that moms are finally rejecting.

What should moms do if their kid is being bullied at school and the school won’t do anything about it? Andie tells a mama bear story that occurred after her son was bullied. Andie and Angie also talk about some of the positive things kids can learn from their friendships such as kindness, humility, consideration, love and respect.

In this episode Andie and Angie talk about friendships, friendships, friendships!

Since friendships affect children in so many ways, how involved should moms be when it comes to helping their kids choose friends?

Andie explains that socializing her kids when they were growing up was a huge priority. After they moved back to California, Andie even created a group to help her kids make new friends and then maintain those friendships as they got older. Clearly there’s a line between moms helping their kids navigate friendships in a healthy way versus trying to control who their kids spend time with. Unfortunately, some of the negative consequences of trying to control a child’s friendships include low self-esteem, dishonesty and anxiety. Andie and Angie end the episode by discussing the difference between a group of friends and a clique.

Where do moms even meet other moms? How are moms supposed to have a conversation on the phone when their kids are yelling in the background? Andie and Angie tackle all of this and more, while also acknowledging that it takes courage to make new friends. You can’t just walk up to a mom you don’t know and offer her a sealed Pop-Tart. Or can you? At the end of the episode Andie asks Angie a question that leaves her speechless and she doesn’t quite know how to answer it.
