Candace gives a full recap of Aliceâs third birthday (yes, sheâs THREE đ), the absolute germ storm that hit her house, and how baby Evie ended up in the hospital. Plus, the birthday party that had to be rescheduled because life really said, âplot twist.â
Meanwhile, Whitney is sharing all the details from her family trip to Key Westâa spontaneous getaway that turned into one of their best family trips yet. Sunshine, chaos, and all the good stuff in between.

This weekâs episode is all about âmom failsâ â the moments when weâve felt like we totally dropped the ball. Some are hilarious (like the time my child put the screw cap from the side of the toilet in her mouth⌠why, child?!) and some are the kind that keep us up at night.
We also talk about the role mom brain plays in all of this â the mental load, the forgetfulness, the constant juggling â and how it can leave us feeling like weâre always one step behind. Spoiler: you're not alone in that.
This episode is really about unburdening the guilt. Because even in the chaos, the screw-cap moments, and the forgetful fog of mom brain, we are still good moms. And we always will be.
Tune in for the stories, the laughter, the honesty â and a reminder that youâre doing better than you think.

In this weekâs episode of Mom Group Chat, weâre talking about something we know too well lately: losing our cool. Between toddler tantrums, one-year-old chaos, zero alone time, and the mental load of everything, it feels like our patience is always teetering on the edge.
We open up about the real moments when we snapâthose hot, messy seconds we wish we could rewindâand the deep mom guilt that follows. We also talk about what weâre learning when it comes to repairing with our kids (because yes, even moms need to apologize), and how important it is to offer ourselves the same grace we so easily give to others.
This season of motherhood is beautiful⌠and brutally hard. If youâve ever yelled, cried in the bathroom, or thought âIâm the worst mom,â this episode is your reminder that youâre not alone. Weâre in it too, and weâre hugging you through your headphones.
In this episode, we get into:
Why our tempers feel shorter than ever How toddler boundary-pushing is breaking us down The guilt that comes after we lose itâand what we do next The power of apologizing to our kids Why this season feels so uniquely hard (and how weâre surviving it)Join the official Mom Group Chat Facebook group: MOM GROUP CHAT FACEBOOK GROUP

Spring break hits different at every stage of life! This week, weâre reminiscing about the thrill of spring break as kidsâthe countdown, the packing, the absolute freedom.

We chat about our plans for this year, how we envision spring break traditions for our families in the future, and the joy(read: horror) of swimsuit shopping. Are we ready for this? Absolutely not. But here we are.
Hit play for laughs, nostalgia, and all the mom-life spring break vibes!
