Hey everyone! It's Jessica from She's Got It Together. In this episode, my sister and co-host Samantha and I have a special guest, Blaire Brown, joining us to talk about the joys and adventures of being an aunt. As Blaire shares her experiences with her niece and nephew, we dive into the special bond between aunts and their siblings' kids. From impromptu hangouts and sleepovers to being the trusted confidant for those silly (and sometimes not-so-silly) questions, we explore what makes the aunt-niece/nephew relationship so unique and heartwarming.
We also touch on how being an aunt can give you a glimpse into motherhood and how it might influence your decision to have kids of your own. Blaire opens up about her own journey and how she's embracing her role as an aunt while focusing on her career and waiting for the right person to come along.
This episode is a fun, chatty celebration of the special role aunts play in the lives of their nieces and nephews. So, whether you're a proud aunt, an expecting aunt-to-be, or simply curious about this beautiful family dynamic, join us for a delightful conversation that'll make you laugh, reminisce, and appreciate the incredible aunts in your life!

Hey everyone, it's Jessica from She's Got It Together! In this week's episode, Samantha and I had a blast chatting with Jennifer Roskamp, a homeschooling mom of nine and grandma (or "Gigi") of two. Jennifer shared her insights on managing a large household, keeping things running smoothly, and still finding time for self-care.
We dove into how Jennifer handles schedules, chores, and the inevitable chaos that comes with a big family. Her key tips? Plan in pencil, be flexible, and involve the whole family in household tasks. She also emphasized the importance of making time for yourself, even if it's just 10 minutes, because burning the candle at both ends doesn't do anyone any good.
This episode is packed with practical advice and relatable moments that'll have you nodding along and laughing with us. Whether you've got one kid or ten, you'll definitely pick up some strategies to simplify your life and be a more intentional mom. So grab a cup of coffee, pop in your earbuds, and join us for this fun, down-to-earth conversation with the amazing Jennifer Roskamp!

Hey there! It's Samantha, and today I'm super excited to share with you my chat with Andrea Caprio, a real-life superwoman who's not only a Master Certified Transformational Nutrition Coach but also a mom of two amazing adult kids. Andrea's on a mission to help women like you and me break free from the vicious cycle of emotional eating and self-sabotage.
In this episode, Andrea gets real about her own struggles with emotional eating and shares how she finally found lasting change by getting to the root cause of her cravings. We dive into the importance of tiny habits, celebrating wins (no matter how small!), and reframing negative thoughts to help you ditch the guilt and start living life on your own terms.
As moms, we often put ourselves last, but Andrea reminds us that self-care isn't selfish – it's essential for being the best version of ourselves for our families. So, whether you're a mom or not, if you've ever found yourself reaching for that pint of ice cream after a stressful day, this episode is for you. Get ready for some real talk, practical tips, and a whole lot of laughs as we explore how to create a healthier, happier relationship with food and ourselves. Trust me, you don't want to miss this one!Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey guys, it's Samantha here! In this episode, my sister Jessica and I dive deep into a topic that hit me like a ton of bricks: sunshine guilt. You know, that feeling when it's a gorgeous sunny day outside, but you're just not in the mood to soak it all in? Like, you kinda wanna stay in your PJs, curl up on the couch, and not feel bad about it? Yup, that's sunshine guilt for ya!
We chat about how this guilt seems to stem from growing up hearing our parents tell us to get our butts outside on nice days. And don't even get me started on the added pressure of being a mom now - how can I not take my kiddo out to play?! But sometimes, you just need a down day, even if the weather is screaming "get out here!"
Jess and I also get into how living in a state with actual seasons (hey there, Michigan!) makes those sunny days feel like precious commodities we gotta take advantage of. But when you're on vacay in a sunny spot? Oh man, the guilt can be real when all you wanna do is chill inside!
So grab a drink, get cozy, and join us as we give you full permission to embrace those "blah" feelings, even on the sunniest of days. Trust me, you're so not alone in this sunshine guilt thing!Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey there! It's Jessica from She's Got It Together. In this episode, I had a blast chatting with Denise Albright about 10 ridiculously simple systems you can implement today to declutter your mind and streamline your life. We covered everything from the genius "Wash It Next" bin for laundry to the "Eat It Next" drawer in your fridge. Denise shared so many practical tips that just make sense, like using time-lapse videos to stay on task with chores and keeping a jar of diluted Dawn dish soap handy for quick cleanups.
But the real game-changer was when Denise introduced us to the Class Keeper® app - a lifesaver for organizing all those precious kid mementos that tend to pile up over the years. Trust me, as a mom of older kids, I wish I had this app sooner! Denise is even hooking you up with an amazing deal - just $7 for an annual membership when you use the link here. (https://shesgotittogether.com/classkeeperapp)
So grab a latte, pop in those earbuds, and join us for a fun, casual convo packed with mom hacks you'll actually use. Don't forget to check out the show notes for that special Class Keeper® offer and let us know what you think! Talk to you next week!
Until next time, busy mamas - keep on simplifying!Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey everyone, it's Jessica from She's Got It Together. In this episode, I sit down with a special guest, Jenny Melrose, to discuss the challenges of navigating social media as parents and business owners. As moms, we often find ourselves in a tricky situation where we're constantly on social media for our businesses, but at the same time, we're trying to protect our kids and limit their exposure to these platforms.
Jenny, a former inner-city school district teacher turned successful blogger and business coach, shares her experiences and insights on how she handles this delicate balance with her own daughters. We dive into the importance of setting boundaries for ourselves as well as our children, and the need to have open conversations about the potential risks and dangers of social media.
Throughout our discussion, we touch on various aspects of parenting in the digital age, from deciding when to give our kids their first phone to monitoring their online activities and teaching them to be safe and responsible online. We also share some personal stories and tips on how to foster open communication with our children, even during those challenging tween and teen years.
Whether you're a parent, a business owner, or both, this episode is packed with valuable insights and practical advice on how to navigate the complex world of social media while keeping our families safe and connected. So join us for this engaging conversation, and don't forget to share your own experiences and thoughts with us!

Hey there, it's Jessica and Samantha! In this episode, we dive into the world of family dinners and how much things have changed since we were kids. Remember sitting at the table every night, no TV, no phones, just talking about your day? Well, times have definitely changed! We chat about the challenges of getting everyone together, the battles we choose to fight (or not fight) with our kids, and how we're adapting to the busy lives we lead today.
We reminisce about the good old days of home-cooked meals and the dreaded milk at our friends' houses (yuck!). But we also discuss how our roles as moms today are different from our own moms, and how convenience often wins out over tradition. Whether it's takeout, pizza nights, or meal delivery services like HelloFresh, we're all just trying to make it work for our families.
Join us as we get real about the guilt and expectations surrounding family dinners, and how we're learning to let go of what we "should" be doing and focus on what works for us. Because at the end of the day, every family is different, and there's no one right way to do things. So grab a seat at our virtual dinner table and let's chat!Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey everyone! It's Jessica and Samantha here, and we just had a super real chat about the whole idea of "having it all." You know, that picture-perfect life we all dreamed about as kids? Well, turns out reality is a bit different! We dished about how social media can make you feel like you're missing out, and how it's so easy to get caught up comparing yourself to others. But we also talked about how, as you get older, your priorities change and you start to realize what really matters - like health, family, and just being content with where you're at. Don't get us wrong, we still wouldn't mind a bit more cash to buy that dream house (or in Samantha's case, her weekly Starbucks fix!), but at the end of the day, we're learning to appreciate what we have. So grab a coffee (or whatever sparks joy for you!), get cozy, and join us for a totally relatable discussion on the myth of having it all. We promise it'll be a good time!
Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey everyone! In this episode, my sister Samantha and I dive into the world of early childhood education. As a mom, I've been wondering when the best time is to start focusing on learning with my little ones. Should I be working with them at home? Getting them into playgroups? Enrolling them in preschool or daycare? It's all so different from when we were kids and went straight into kindergarten!
Luckily, Samantha is a former pre-k teacher, so she's got the inside scoop. We chat about how her perspective has changed now that she has her own kiddo, and how schools expect so much more from kids these days. We also dish about our own experiences growing up as twins and navigating the social scene in school together.
Throughout our convo, Samantha drops some serious knowledge about child development, the importance of learning through play, and how to best support your child's education both in and out of the classroom. We keep it real, talking about the challenges of being a working parent and making sure your kid doesn't slip through the cracks.
So join us as we laugh, reminisce, and try to figure out this whole parenting thing together. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or just curious about early education, there's something for everyone in this laid-back and informative sister chat!
Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey there! It's Jessica and Samantha, and we're diving into a topic that might make you squirm a bit - sex! We know it's not always easy to talk about, but we think it's important to share our experiences and let you know that if you're struggling with low sex drive or pain during sex, you're definitely not alone.
We get personal about how pregnancy, breastfeeding, and even antidepressants have impacted our sex lives. From figuring out how to navigate intimacy post-baby to dealing with husbands who just can't keep their hands off (even when you're blowing your nose!), we cover it all.
But don't worry, it's not all serious - we also chat about the joys of king-size beds, the struggles of being touched out, and the hilarious realities of trying to get in the mood when you're a mom.
So join us for a raw, real, and sometimes TMI conversation about sex, motherhood, and everything in between. We promise you'll laugh, cringe, and maybe even feel a little less alone in your own journey. Oh, and we might even solve the mystery of why Sam hates the color pink!

Hey everyone, it's Samantha and Jessica here, and in this episode, we're diving into the controversial topic of screen time! As moms with kids of different ages, we know that managing screen time can be a challenge. We chat about our personal experiences, from dealing with our kids' obsession with gaming and social media to finding a balance between educational and entertainment screen time.
We also reminisce about our own childhood experiences with technology (remember Game Boys and Nokia phones?) and how much things have changed. It's crazy to think about how far technology has come and how it's now a huge part of our daily lives, both for us and our kids.
Throughout the episode, we share our thoughts on setting limits, using parental controls, and being flexible when needed. We also touch on the challenges of managing screen time during school and the importance of family time without screens.
So join us for a laid-back, honest conversation about navigating the world of screen time as parents. Whether you're a strict no-screen household or a bit more lenient, we hope you can relate and pick up some useful tips along the way. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach - it's all about finding what works best for you and your family!

In this episode, we're sharing our experiences and dishing out some of our best tips and tricks for making travel a bit more manageable (and maybe even fun!) with kids in tow.
We chat about everything from timing your travel around nap schedules to packing hacks that will save your sanity. And let's be real, sometimes you just gotta embrace the chaos and roll with it! We also dive into some of the challenges that come with traveling as your family grows and how to navigate things like seating arrangements on planes.

Hey there, super moms! In this episode, my co-host Samantha and I are getting real about the myth of having to do it all as a mom. We're challenging the unrealistic expectations placed on moms to be perfect and juggle everything with a smile. It's time to rethink what being a super mom really means!
We dive into the importance of asking for help, whether it's from your spouse, friends, family, or even outsourcing tasks like grocery shopping. We also chat about the need to prioritize and let go of the guilt when we can't get everything done. Laundry piling up? Dishes in the sink? It's okay, mama!
We share our own experiences navigating the demands of motherhood, working from home, and finding those crucial moments for self-care. It's all about figuring out what works best for you and your family, whether that means delegating chores to the kids or embracing the occasional pizza night.
So join us as we keep it real and remind you that you're already rocking it as a mom, even if you didn't make that Pinterest-perfect sandwich for your kid's lunchbox today. It's time to let go of the pressure and embrace the perfectly imperfect journey of motherhood together!

Hey everyone! In this episode, my sister Jessica and I dive into the challenges of keeping the romance alive in your relationship after having kids. We get real about the struggles of finding alone time with your partner when you've got little ones constantly demanding your attention. From sneaking away for some "adult time" to dealing with those less-than-romantic post-baby body changes, we cover it all with our signature blend of humor and honesty.
I share some of my own experiences as a new mom, like that awkward first date night after giving birth and the importance of communicating your needs to your partner. We also swap stories about the creative excuses we've made when our kids have almost caught us in the act - oops!
But it's not all jokes and embarrassing moments. We also talk about the emotional and physical challenges of intimacy after childbirth and the importance of being patient with yourself and your partner as you navigate this new chapter in your relationship.
So whether you're a new parent, a seasoned pro, or just curious about what goes on behind closed doors in a post-baby relationship, this episode is for you. Tune in for some real talk, a lot of laughs, and maybe even a few tips on keeping that spark alive amidst the chaos of parenting.

Spring is in the air and you know what that means - it's time for some serious decluttering! Join me and my co-host Jessica as we dive into our best spring organizing tips. As busy moms, we know how quickly things can pile up over the winter. From switching out seasonal clothes to tackling the dreaded junk drawer, we're sharing our tried and true strategies for getting our homes in order.
But let's be real, decluttering with kids in the house is no joke! We're talking about how to get the whole family involved without losing our minds in the process. And don't even get us started on the endless cycle of toy purging - it's a battle we're still figuring out.
We're also dishing on our love/hate relationship with organizing products. Those clear bins and cute baskets are tempting, but are they really worth the hype (and the price tag)? We've got some strong opinions on that.
So grab a coffee (in your favorite mug, of course) and join us as we laugh, vent, and motivate each other to create the clutter-free homes of our dreams...or at least make it to next spring without being buried alive in stuff. Hey, a mom can dream, right?

Hey everyone, it's Jess and Sam here! In today's episode, we're diving into the topic of winter blues as moms. You know, those funky feelings that creep up on you during the colder months when you're stuck inside more often than not. We chat about how it can be tough to tell the difference between regular mom exhaustion and actual winter blues, and share some of the common symptoms to watch out for.
But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! We also dish about our own experiences and swap tips for boosting your mood when you're feeling down. From getting some sunshine (even if it means hitting up the tanning bed like our mom does!) to starting a fun indoor project or having a cozy family game night, we've got plenty of ideas to help you beat those winter blahs.
We also get real about the challenges of socializing and getting out with little ones during cold and flu season. It can be stressful trying to balance keeping your kiddos healthy with making sure they (and you!) still get some much-needed social interaction.
So grab a warm beverage, snuggle up, and join us for a candid convo about navigating the ups and downs of motherhood during the winter months. Remember, you're definitely not alone in this! Let's help each other out and make it through to spring together.

Hey guys! So in this episode, Jess and I are just chatting all about the craziness of sibling relationships. And let me tell you, as twins with an older sis, we've been through it all - the fights, the jealousy, the silly moments, you name it!
We're over here cracking up about the time we totally messed up Jessica's hair right before prom by accidentally mixing hair dye into her shampoo when we were little. Oops! And oh my gosh, the drama over borrowing each other's clothes and makeup as teenagers - I'm sure you can relate!
But seriously, having a sibling with a big age gap can be tough sometimes. Jess talks about feeling left out when we were born and got all the attention. But our parents were pretty awesome at making sure she had special "Jess time" too, which is so important.
Anyway, we're no parenting experts, but we've got some thoughts on how to handle the sibling craziness. Like, letting each kid be their own person but also encouraging them to be tight, you know? And when they're fighting, whew chile, don't even get me started! We dive into all that good stuff.
Oh and get this - apparently our fam wasn't big on hugging and saying "I love you" growing up. Which explains a lot, ha! But we're working on being more affectionate these days, in our own awkward way. It's a process, people!
So yeah, come laugh with us as we keep it real about the hot mess that is having siblings. Whether you've got 'em, are one, or are wrangling a bunch as a parent, we think you'll vibe with this one. Grab a drink (or like, a juice box if you're babysitting) and enjoy!
Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Hey mamas, we know how hard it can be to find time for yourself and your friendships when you're busy taking care of kids and everything else life throws at you. In this episode, my sister Sam and I get real about how challenging it is to make time to see friends and take a break from mom life. We chat about the guilt and worry that comes with leaving your little ones, even though you know you need that time to recharge. I open up about how my husband Brett and I barely did anything just the two of us for months after our son Beau was born.
Sam and I discuss our different experiences - for her it's been key to get together with girlfriends for casual brunches or dinners for a few hours here and there. For me, Brett is my best friend so a lot of my "me time" is spent with him. But we both agree that whether it's with your partner or your gal pals, those times to talk, laugh, and just take the pressure off for a bit make you a better, more refreshed parent.
The struggle to make friend time happen is real, but it's so worth it. So call up your girlfriends or your spouse and plan that brunch, dinner, or just a walk and some ice cream. A little break from being "on" all the time is exactly what you need, mama. Enjoy your mom's night (or day) out!Hope you enjoyed this episode!

Jessica & Samantha -
Hey guys! Jess and Sam here, and we want to get real with you about the juggling act of being a working mom. We know it's not easy trying to balance your career and family life, especially when you're working from home like we are. It can be crazy trying to manage it all!
In this episode, we're diving into our own experiences and spilling the tea on what's worked for us when it comes to managing our time and making sure we're still getting that quality family time in. Cause let's be honest, that mom guilt is no joke!
We chat about how being flexible is key and how trying to stick to a super rigid schedule just doesn't work for us. Life with kids is always unpredictable, am I right? Instead, we've learned to just go with the flow, making our to-do lists and tackling what we can, while also making sure we're there for our kiddos when they need us.
We also dish on the ups and downs of working from home, like how it can be hard to separate work and family time, but also how awesome it is to have that control over our schedules. And we get real about the mom guilt that comes with both working outside the home and being work-from-home moms. Spoiler alert: it's impossible to be perfect at it all!
Throughout the episode, we keep coming back to how important it is to set those boundaries to protect our family time, like unplugging from work at night and on weekends, and being fully present on vacations. We also talk about how letting go of the guilt around not finishing every little task has been a game-changer for us in terms of our well-being and being the best moms and business owners we can be.
So if you're a working mom looking for some real talk and tips on finding that balance, girl, this episode is for you! Come join us as we spill the tea and keep it real about the beautiful chaos of juggling motherhood and career. Trust us, we've been there!Hope you enjoyed this episode!
