Full Time Moms

Grace’s parents are in town which means Grace has been hosting all the things from her youngest’s very FIRST birthday to her oldest’s art show. It’s hard to believe Grace has a 1 year old! As with most parties, some things did not go exactly according to plan. A highlight of Sarah’s week was her and her family getting together with some friends that they don’t see all that often and it reminded Sa...

Grace spent some time in the water this past week and got to enjoy holding her scrumptious, sleeping baby boy at the pool, as well as go on a paddle board date with her husband. The only downside was the sunburn she got on her legs while paddle boarding. While Grace does regret not lathering up on the sunscreen, she most definitely does not regret getting some quality time with her husband. Sarah...

Grace had a solid week with her brother coming into town and her and her oldest harvesting their very first zucchini of the season. They immediately made zucchini muffins to share with their friends. Sarah may have been tempted more times than she wants to admit by some chocolate chip cookies she made - to the extent of making herself feel like a bad mom when she - may have - eaten a cookie promis...

Sarah hasn’t quite recovered from her family trip last week, but she is optimistic she may be more with it next week. In the midst of Sarah’s frazzlement and her children’s evening swim lessons she broke down and did something - grocery related - that she’s never done before. And Sarah gives a speech update on her oldest. Grace has been pleasantly surprised and appreciative of her husband taking u...

Sarah is back from visiting her in-laws at the lake and she’s excited to share all about it! Grace had a quintessential summer-y week with her family consisting of hikes, snow cones, and tie dye. And the only nays are things Sarah can do the next time she’s at the lake. Grace steps away from her go-to genre of contemporary romance for this week’s moving, thought-provoking Book Club for 1 novel. Th...

Grace came equipped with a few nays this week - one of which being a nay that kind of turned into a yay as her friends rallied around her. To Sarah’s delight, imaginative play has been in full force at her house this week. And her nay might just be the nay of all moms out there - the fact that she does not have a house cleaner. Grace is feeling a bit of an itch to participate in a week long murder...

Grace made an exciting new purchase this week - a meat slicer - in an attempt to feed her family less processed meats. But don’t worry, Sarah has questions!

Whether you are a mom navigating a child’s potential diagnosis or a mom whose heart hurts when seeing your child work so hard at something they struggle with - you’re...

Sarah and Grace relish in how fun it has been to catch up every week through doing the podcast together. And Sarah and Grace’s husband are officially on SUMMER BREAK!!!

Grace brings a heartbreaking and tender memoir this week...

Grace and Sarah kick off this week with some poll results. Then, a definite highlight of Grace’s week was the alphabet date her husband planned with all things letter ‘G’.

And learn why Sarah will no longer be able to use the phrase “when pigs fly” with her family. Unfortunately, S...

Cavity filling day finally arrived for Grace’s oldest! And Grace wasn’t quite as excited about it as him - he's now stoked to have metal in his mouth like his friends. Grace got to visit her siblings, parents, and celebrate her brother’s high school graduation in South Carolina this past week with the baby in tow. Red eye flights are likely no longer in her future and, PSA, double check with your...

This week Grace and Sarah kickoff the podcast discussing the recent trend of Type C moms but - let the record show - Grace and Sarah were talking about different ‘types’ of moms before this trend was even a thing. Grace’s yay and nay is one and the same this week with the release of season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives....

The final laundry detergent update has hit the pod this week! Dishwasher detergents just may be up next. With Grace’s previous week being nothing short of a disaster, she had a bit of a redemption week with her perfectly executed Mother’s Day plans to a midweek hike, time spent with friends, and ordering some Chatbooks for her family. Sarah is excited about her and husband attempting to be the ‘co...

The long awaited Costco vs. Walmart price comparison is here!!! Sarah’s yay for the week - other than the obvious - her hot date with Colin to two grocery stores was the quality time she got with her youngest this past week.

Sarah and Grace are excited to share about their Mother’s Day giveaway! Other than the giveaway, another high point for Sarah this week was Nora scoring her first soccer goal ever! Grace’s week just kind of…happened - no yays or nays - which no nays kind of feels like a win in and of itself. And let’s hope Sarah’s kitchen gets put back together before next week. Grace shares a book to read and a b...

Sarah and Grace dive straight into sharing the results of their birthday-related polls! And the results have Sarah rethinking a couple things.

Of course the highlight from Sarah’s past week was her daughter’s birthday party! And you may not have known it, but there’s a viral TIkTok-er in our midst!

And no, she does not want her laundry smelling like essential oils! Sarah is looking for some solidarity t...

The infrared yoga classes at Grace’s gym were just the pick me up she needed this week to really lift her spirits.

And now Sarah's feeling inspired to host her own holiday kid activity in the future. Sarah’s sel...
