Episode 006 - Quote Game Show

This week we’re keeping it short and fun with a mini game show! We play “Finish the Lyrics,” test our knowledge with tricky movie quotes, and try to guess movies from pretty bad descriptions. Quick, silly, and a perfect dose of family chaos.

Episode 005 Would You Rather

From choosing between controlling time or the weather, to surviving a room full of bees or spiders, this week’s “Would You Rather” had us laughing, debating, and maybe oversharing. We also got real about how chores actually make the kids feel and wrapped up with a story about a teen learning the hard way that the police will humble you real quick.

Episode 004 - Self Care

Self-care can mean a lot of things… exercise, journaling, taking time for yourself. But if you ask Maddy? It’s all about face washing. 🧼😂 Join us as we talk about what self-care really looks like as teens (and as a mom), the little things that make us feel good, and how apparently the answer to everything is wash your face.

Episode 003 - First Day of School

Back-to-school means fresh notebooks, new schedules… and a mom still battling her podcast sound setup. But the real test? Trying to get straight answers from teenagers. Spoiler: it’s like pulling teeth. This is what I’m up against. Tune in for our first day of school recap, some podcasting growing pains, and a whole lot of teen logic that makes zero sense.

Episode 002 - It Costs What!?

Ever wondered how much it really costs to live in Los Angeles? In this episode, the kids take their best guesses about our monthly expenses. We break down the reality of LA’s cost of living (averages), share some of our monthly money saving tips, and do the math on how many hours at minimum wage it would take to afford our current lifestyle. It’s part financial reality check, part family banter. Whether you’re an LA local, thinking about moving here, or just curious about how some families make it work, you’ll get some laughs and maybe a few budget tips along the way.
