Parenting Styles: Expectations vs. Reality with Andrea Maley

This episode is a fun one! We're excited to welcome our friend and fellow tiny human mom Andrea Maley, onto this week's episode! You've heard it before, there's no manual when it comes to parenting but most of us had some idea of the kind of parent we wanted to be. Things we definitely "would never do" and the things we envisioned ourselves doing. And then there's what actually is unfolding. In this week's episode with lots of laughs and some reality checks we're chatting about our parenting predictions for ourselves and how they stacked up in real life. Screen time? Never! Neutral tones? For everything! Meal time? They're going to eat what we eat! See where we land on these hot pre-parenting opinions.

Bblblb It's time for Turkey Day!

It's Turkey Time! We can't believe it's already Thanksgiving, we're going to blink and it'll be time to be putting out milk and cookies. But before we welcome the big man, first we need to wrangle children with a tryptophan hang over. Nina is the queen of Friendsgiving and hosts an epic gathering every year, so we're chatting turkey day prep, picky eating management and the possibility of a kids charcuterie station. Don't worry plenty of time for tangents about drop off line etiquette and doing laundry for tiny humans.

The Truth About Hard Things: Stella's Story with Kristen Jackson

This week we welcome Kristen Jackson, Paige's sister-in-law and fellow Scottsdale Mom Crew member. Nobody will argue that being a parent is tough, so when you are confronted with the truly unexpected the hurdles can feel impossible. But the truth is, you don't know how tough you are until you confront the unimaginable and make your way through it. This is an episode about dealing with the things that you can't anticipate, having them smack you in the face, learn to come to terms with them, overcome them and move past them in a healthy way. Trigger Warning: In this episode Kristen shares her story of navigating her daughter's birth complication and diagnosis of an omphalocele after her 20-week ultrasound.

Introducing the Sourdough Queen of Scottsdale

After a busy couple of weeks were back to the original recipe and Paige & Nina are catching up on life. Nina is excited to share her journey as a Sourdough Starter Mom and her new crown as The Bread B*tch of Scottsdale, but this episode has a little bit of everything. There's a lot going on in the world of pop culture right now; apparently Switfites are making the NFL a thing? Is there not any good music anymore? Apparently John Legend was not in the Hunger Games, whoops, but please give us grace as we weigh in - our brains just don't work anymore. Maybe that's why one of us just sent it and put dry shampoo in our daughters hair #yolo. Follow along with us on Instagram @proofofmompodcast
