A long awaited laundry detergent update hits the pod this week! And Sarah shares a future date night she has planned for her and her husband. Sarah is relishing thinking back on the past week she had with her girls during her spring break. Well, with the exception of getting stuck in the back of her car with her youngest. And Grace and her husband celebrated their 7 year wedding anniversary at a restaurant they knew their oldest could not miss.

Book Club for 1 is taking a more educational route this week with a couple quick tips from the first half of The Whole-Brain Child. Grace dives into a topic that is a personal area of expertise of her’s - side hustles. Grace and Sarah share side hustles they have personally had - plus ones that have piqued their interest that you may want to look into more, too! If you’re looking for a side hustle, hopefully this episode gives you some ideas to build upon.

Then switch up your dinner rotation with Sarah’s back up (but just as good) recipe for the week - one pot skillet lasagna. And Grace brings Greek chicken gyros to the table. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Sarah and Grace dive straight into sharing the results of their birthday-related polls! And the results have Sarah rethinking a couple things. The biggest takeaway here is if you don’t feel like doing party favors, likely the vast majority of your party guests won’t care.

Sarah and Grace got together this past week for some girl time and it was exactly what Sarah’s heart needed. And Grace’s yay and nay is one in the same - cleaning her carpets herself…like with a rug doctor. The ladies are also excited to share some yays and nays submitted by their community.

Grace brings a new segment to the podcast - Book Club for 1! Grace describes the plots of two of her most recent reads - one that she loved - one that she didn’t. And then Sarah - attempts - to guess the title of the book. If nothing else, hopefully you get at least one book to add to your ‘must read’ list.

Sarah and Grace are still celebrating the start of spring as they dive into all things Easter! Easter egg hunts are (of course) on the agenda. Then Sarah and Grace share the creative ways they go about decorating Easter eggs with their kids. Sarah shares a staple that can always be found in her girls’ Easter baskets. And, of course, scooters are happening for her daughters this Easter! Grace has some exciting things planned for her oldest’s basket this year which she knows he is going to love!

Then switch up your dinner rotation with one of Sarah’s go to quick and easy dinners - French bread pizza. And Grace brings one pan sausage and veggies to the table. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

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! Grace is investing the time and money - so you don’t have to - to find a natural laundry detergent that smells…toxic aka just like Tide. And no, she does not want her laundry smelling like essential oils! Sarah is looking for some solidarity this week as her youngest’s ear infection would have gone undiagnosed if it wasn’t for her 2 year well visit exam. Along the same vein, Grace shares the cost estimate she got to fill her oldest’s cavities. And it’s causing them both to feel a little bit skeptical of dentists in general.

Spring is in the air which means spring bucket lists are in full swing! For Sarah this includes what activities she has planned to do with her kids over spring break. Grace’s spring plans include a little overnight hotel stay in addition to a multitude of outdoor activities. Hopefully this episode leaves you feeling inspired with some activities to do with your own kids this spring.

Then switch up your dinner rotation with Italian grinder sliders that Sarah served at the birthday party this past weekend. Grace shares a little bit more of a time intensive recipe than her norm - sticky sesame chicken - but it’s worth it! A frequent topic of conversation in Sarah’s life - Costco - is mentioned and she’s looking for any takers on starting a salad swap near her. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

The infrared yoga classes at Grace’s gym were just the pick me up she needed this week to really lift her spirits. It’s even gotten her in the habit of meditating in the morning to start her day off right! Sarah and her girls had the best time at the cutest St. Patrick’s Day party they were invited to. And now Sarah's feeling inspired to host her own holiday kid activity in the future.

Sarah’s self-proclaimed hobby - planning her children’s birthday parties - is the topic of discussion this week! Sarah is full of birthday party theme inspo for little ones turning 1, 2, or 3. And hear the party themes Sarah and Grace have done for their own kids. From food to balloons to bounce houses, Sarah and Grace dive into some of their birthday party staples. And should birthday party presents be opened during the party or at a later time? Grace and Sarah share their thoughts and want to hear yours too! Grace has a - maybe - controversial take on party favors that Sarah doesn’t really disagree with. It’s, of course, all poll-worthy!

Then switch up your dinner rotation with Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta - a crockpot recipe Sarah served at her oldest’s most recent birthday party. Skip the Chick-Fil-A drive thru this week and make grilled chicken nuggets at home - Grace recommends dipping in buffalo sauce. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Poll results are in! And, needless to say, Grace isn’t feeling stoked about the results. Grace and Sarah share the results from their ‘how many library books do you check out’ and ‘do you have a Costco membership’ polls.

Sally, Grace’s mom, is in town! Which is a huge YAY for Grace and her 4 year old as they’ve been crossing things off their ‘Nana’ Bucket List! Spring soccer is about to start up for Sarah’s oldest who is ready for it - since her friend is on the team. And Sarah practices decorating some cupcakes for her youngest’s upcoming birthday and, let's just say, it was the furthest thing from professional.

As the first guest on Full Time Moms, Sally weighs in on some previous podcast topics like how she and her mom friends supported each other when they had littles at home. As a mom to 5, Sally shares what actions she has taken to support her in having strong relationships with her children as they’ve grown older. And what interests she pursued that made her heart sing outside of motherhood. Plus get a glimpse into some of the mottos Grace grew up.

Switch up your dinner rotation with Sally’s current go-to dinner for her family Trader Joe’s Mandarin orange chicken and chicken fried rice. Or one of the dinner staples from Grace’s childhood. Sarah shares a baked salmon recipe and Grace brings hamburger bowls to the table. Be sure to make that In-N-Out sauce at home to go with it. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

The biggest YAY for Sarah and Grace this week is all the support they’ve felt with the launch of Full Time Moms! A close second was Grace’s life changing culinary experience at Flower Child - a brand new eatery to hit Salt Lake City. Her only regret is not being able to go there everyday. Summer is calling Sarah’s name as she gets a glimpse of what her upcoming summer will look like and she's excited about it! The many tears shed may have cracked Sarah and her husband - it’s happening - their oldest will be getting a scooter. Also, Grace and Sarah may have uncovered what leads to a long, healthy life.

Why film a day in the life reel when you can text your brothers updates all day? Grace and Sarah had a fun time catching up with their brothers from updates on the ham sandwich they ate for lunch to homeschool groups and dance class videos. Grace credits her parents for their efforts in creating traditions for their family that hold some of Grace’s fondest memories with her siblings. And Sarah points out that adult ‘traditions’ can be developed amongst siblings without necessarily doing the activity together growing up. Sarah and Grace share some bonding activities they currently do in their homes when a mood shift is necessary. And be on the lookout for a podcast update - in 12 years - on the status of their childrens’ sibling relationships.

Then the great debate - crockpot vs. instant pot. Sarah shares a crockpot bbq chicken with a surprise ingredient! And Grace brings beef stew to the table. These recipes are sure to switch up your dinner rotation! No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Sarah’s excited about her girls’ blossoming relationship. And, in an unexpected twist, Grace goes from canceling her gym membership to being their newest employee! Plus, a big milestone for Grace’s family!!

Despite all of the potential labels associated with motherhood, moms know the type of support each other needs best. Grace shares how meaningful the support she received after having her second son carried her and her family during their transition from 1 to 2 kids. Together, Grace and Sarah share a multitude of ways that moms can support each other through personal experiences, as well as highlights from ‘The things mom say to each other that also mean I love you’ written by @usually.ellie and an article from The Every Mom.

Then switch up your dinner rotation with Sarah’s chicken and spinach pasta bake! And Grace’s chicken meatballs - which causes Sarah to add something to her Christmas wish list! No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!
