Do you ever feel like your family beach trip turns into a series of unexpected events and encounters? That was certainly the case for Ashley on her recent vacation. The blend of vintage treasure hunting at the Lost Rabbit in Hattiesburg, an unexpected encounter with a homeless man in the parking lot, dealing with her son's aversion to the beach, and running into an old friend certainly kept her on her toes. 

Oh, and did we mention the real-life drama witnessed at Flag Island involving an ex MMA fighter? This episode is all about those unpredictable turns life throws at you and how we would react if that was our husband getting caught up in a brawl at the reservoir version of Talladega. We also tackle the daunting task of home cleanup, illustrated by a dumpster ordered by Lauren - it's not all fun and games!

Finally, we delve into some deeply personal issues that are close to our hearts. Sharing our experiences with postpartum depression and bodies, the costs of raising children (not just the financially) and discussing family planning and health issues are all on the agenda. We reflect on our experiences with childbirth, the new postpartum depression oral pill, and the challenges of deciding whether or not to have more children. Join us for an episode packed with laughter, heart-to-heart conversations, and a unique insight into our lives. We hope it encourages you to reach out, follow us on social media, and be a part of our journey.
