Cavity filling day finally arrived for Grace’s oldest! And Grace wasn’t quite as excited about at as him - he's now stoked to have metal in his mouth like his friends. Grace got to visit her siblings, parents, and celebrate her brother’s high school graduation in South Carolina this past week with baby in tow. Red eye flights are likely no longer in her future and, PSA, double check with your airline but you can no longer check travel cribs for free. Sarah fears the end of her car that has been through so many phases of life with her - from college to being a young, single working girly to getting married and having kids - may be close to the end of the road. And, to no surprise, Sarah’s yay this week was the grand opening of the water park near her home.

In honor of Infertility Awareness Month, Grace and Sarah feel so lucky to have their friend, Emily Moon, share her infertility journey and what all really went in to her experience. Emily also shares some ways to support friends who are struggling with infertility. As a fellow reader, Emily brings Book Club for 1 this week and Grace is excited to get to be the one guessing the book title. Then switch up your dinner rotation with a chicken pot pie casserole from Emily, spinach lasagna rolls from Sarah, and grilled steaks from Grace. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

This week Grace and Sarah kickoff the podcast discussing the recent trend of Type C moms but - let the record show - Grace and Sarah were talking about different ‘types’ of moms before this trend was even a thing. Grace’s yay and nay is one in the same this week with the release of season 2 of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Sarah got to celebrate a friend, pregnant with her first, this past week by throwing her a baby shower. And an unexpected topic of conversation this week - with the breaking of Sarah’s vacuum cleaner - corded vs. cordless vacuum cleaners.

Grace shares a multi-award winning book this week in Book Club for 1 and strongly recommends it to adults and children in 5th grade and up. Just as Grace and Sarah have very different personalities, they also travel very differently with their children. With summer travels upon us, Grace and Sarah share some of their tips and tricks of what works best for each of their own families on plane trips. Hopefully there are some takeaways you can apply to your own family. Also, be sure to get your own copy of Grace and Sarah’s (primarily Sarah’s since Grace doesn’t make a list) free airplane packing checklists for babies & toddlers. Then switch up your dinner rotation with some summer-y cheeseburgers off the grill from Sarah and campfire hot dogs from Grace. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

The final laundry detergent update has hit the pod this week! Dishwasher detergents just may be up next. With Grace’s previous week being nothing short of a disaster, she had a bit of a redemption week with her perfectly executed Mother’s Day plans to a midweek hike, time spent with friends, and ordering some Chatbooks for her family. Sarah is excited about her and husband attempting to be the ‘cool’ aunt and uncle this fall as their nephew moves from Virginia to Utah for college. And Grace’s oldest has been inundating her with questions which can, at times, feel like a nay. However, Grace reminds herself of her family motto which includes valuing life long learning.

Grace shares a fun read about a corporate girlie - that gives a bit of The Office vibes - this week in Book Club for 1. Summer is basically upon us as Sarah and Grace share some of the things they have planned for their families this summer including camping in the backyard, lemonade stands, hot air balloon festival, and lots of time in the water. Lastly, coincidentally, it’s shrimp week! Sarah and Grace both share shrimp recipes to help you switch up your dinner rotation. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Huge congratulations to Jamie Sanchez, the Mother’s Day giveaway winner!! Sarah gives a relationship challenge update and, needless to say, it isn’t exactly going as she had planned - but she is not giving up! Grace received a generous gift from a friend that is proving to be life changing. And Sarah’s family got a lot of quality time together this past week including some pretty big events for their oldest. To say Grace had a rough week feels like an understatement with the tip of the iceberg including car problems and a fire detector going off in her home. Fingers crossed for life to be smooth sailing for Grace next week.

This week is a Book Club for 1 takeover with the parenting book: How to Talk So Little Kids Will Listen. Grace shares some of the tools from the book to support helping kids in acknowledging their feelings, encouraging cooperation, resolving conflict, and supporting differently wired kids. Then switch up your dinner rotation with Sarah’s crockpot honey mustard chicken wraps. And Grace brings Philly cheesesteaks to the table. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

The long awaited Costco vs. Walmart price comparison is here!!! Sarah’s yay for the week - other than the obvious - her hot date with Colin to two grocery stores was the quality time she got with her youngest this past week. And Grace’s family is doing a screen detox at home. It’s doing wonders for them specifically in terms of creativity and just being more present overall. She can’t recommend it enough!

Sarah attempts to guess the plot of a historical romance that Grace brings for Book Club for 1. Then, with Mother’s Day coming up, Sarah and Grace share some of the things they love about motherhood. As well as highlight some things other moms love about motherhood, too! Hopefully it leaves you feeling invigorated about your motherhood experience!

Sarah’s recipe this week is a family favorite - copycat crunchwrap supremes. And Grace got some use out of her Instantpot this week with her husband’s requested chicken and gravy. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Sarah and Grace are excited to share about their Mother’s Day giveaway! Other than the giveaway, another high point for Sarah this week was Nora scoring her first soccer goal ever! Grace’s week just kind of…happened - no yays or nays - which no nays kind of feels like a win in and of itself. And let’s hope Sarah’s kitchen gets put back together before next week.

Grace shares a book to read and a book not to read from one of her favorite authors this week in Book Club for 1. Sarah and Grace dive into how their marriages have changed since having children and share some of the ways they stay connected with their husbands. Grace shares an article from parents.com with some common reasons couples argue after having kids which reminds us all of the importance of communication. And feel free to join Sarah in doing a 30 day love/relationship challenge over the coming month.

Sarah’s recipe this week is mushroom feta pasta - a quick and easy dinner that goes from stove to table in under 15 minutes. And Grace is here to remind everyone that breakfast for dinner is an option for those long weeks…or really anytime. No matter how you’re doing motherhood, we’re rooting for you!

Grace shares why the water cycle in and of itself is her nay this week - likely it will get you thinking about the water cycle in a way you never have before.

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!
