She's Got It Together Jessica Evans

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.

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!
