  5. The JOY of Missing Out

    05/02/2024

    The JOY of Missing Out

    JOMO… The JOY of Missing Out! As we get older and our lives become more hectic, the FOMO we used to experience can sometimes die down, and we become pumped to simply say, “Nah. I’m not gonna do all that.”  Whether it’s a social gathering, perceived obligation or something as simple as checking social media, the joy of stepping away and feeling fine with missing out is such a beautiful thing! Ashley chats with Elizabeth and Tiffany to discuss how they each find some bliss in saying no. While it’s not always easy, and missing out can leave you feeling left out, there are definitely moments that make it so worth it! Protect your energy and sanity, mamas! Find some joy in missing out! “Spill the Tea” Win: The Cold Coffee Club is trying out some new things!

  6. DON'T TOUCH ME!

    04/25/2024

    DON'T TOUCH ME!

    Ever feel drained from all the touching that seems to go hand-in-hand with motherhood? Breastfeeding, hand holding, snuggles, hugs, kisses. All incredible experiences… in moderation! Pile those in with physical affection with partners, interacting with friends and co-workers, or nurturing pets, and you can have a recipe for overstimulation! Mamas can easily feel themselves becoming “touched out,” and Ashley and Tiffany are no exceptions to those feelings. Join the conversation as they dive into their experiences with needing a break from being touched and how they cope! “Cream and Sugar” Recommendations: Station Theater is a great locale to enjoy a comedy show, but if you’re interested in becoming a PART of the show, you can start with a free improv class there as well!  If retro video games are your jam, head to The Game Preserve, and enjoy the nostalgia! Houston Moms “House Blend”: The Houston Moms VBS Guide is a comprehensive resource that you MUST check out! We make it easy to fill your kids’ summer with tons of fun!
