COVID-19

COVID-19

RIP Minivan! That's right, she is GONE! But, before I could record this episode in Carpool, the dang carpool line closed down! 

Y'all when I talked to you last week the term "social distancing" wasn't even a thing. Now here we are this week, off the rookie squad for Social Distancing. This is hard, uneasy, and scary time. I want us all to stay safe and healthy. Now is a great time to get those wish list projects done and to get those "Honey Do" lists done. It is also a great time to make memories with your kids. Yes, our kids need to learn, but they need to feel love and stress free first. So, don't stress over teaching your kids common core math and the worksheets. Just read books, go on nature walks, watch movies, and have conversation. They will learn through those experiences too!

Losing Myself

Losing Myself

Pre-Momma vs. Momma. Who were you before you were Momma? Ever felt like you lost a little bit of yourself to motherhood? In today’s episode I’m comparing Leah to Momma.

March Rambles

March Rambles

Y’all this episode is BAD. Like unprepared, random, and overall a poor excuse for a podcast episode BUT the perk of being a self titled Hot Mess is that people kind of expect you to be less than perfect! So here ya go. I’ll do better next week, promise!

Only Me...Again.

Only Me...Again.

The powers that be decided last weeks “this would only happen to me” story wasn’t good enough and caused another “wtf story” to happen to me! Here is a quick story that happened to me last week! Anyone else have this happen to them?!?

Brew-er-y & me

Brew-er-y & me

It’s like the forces that be want me to earn my title as the HMMC ringleader so they force messiness into my life. Here is another “Only me” story that once again proves I’m worthy of being the ringleader. Also, I have some more ranting to add to last weeks episode...sorry and I’m done now :)

FUN-draising

FUN-draising

There ain’t nothing “fun” about fundraising so I’m not sure why the word FUN is in that word. It’s time for my annual rant session about school fundraisers. I’ve got a colorful vocabulary today, so listen when the kids are at school.

Confession From Carpool #1

Confession From Carpool #1

Y’all this story is down right embarrassing and I really don’t know why I am sitting in the carpool line confessing this embarrassment to you but here goes nothing....this is the [hilarious] story about how I lost my keys and peed my pants in a moment of panic.

Hello 2020! (S2E14)

Hello 2020! (S2E14)

Hello 2020! You guys, we are officially in a new year!!!! I love the start of a new year. It means its time to get organized, get re-focused on goals, and just overall feels fresh. I hope your new year is off to a great start! 

Here is what we are covering in today's episode:

-Word Of The Year: As you know, we don't really do resolutions around the club....instead we pick a word or phrase to focus our year around. 2019 was the year of Prioritize and I am going to say I did ok.....some months/weeks were better than others. Take some time this week to think of your phrase/word.

-Birthday Club: With all of the 12 Days of Giveaways, I totally forgot to send out December Bday cards...that is ok though because what I had planned for 2020 is gonna be retroactive to our December birthdays! This year, rather than sending you a new decal on your birthday, I am sending you a special birthday coupon code. You can take this code to the Swag Shop to get FREE shipping and a FREE gift. The gift is *kind of* a secret but if you really want to know, head over to my Insta and see a picture of the gift. (@LAFromTheClub) 

-The last thing we are talking about is a making a social media move. FB has become a dumping ground for political garbage and its getting old to me. I am looking at putting the club on its own app,  focused more on Insta, or adding a message board to the current site. I am open to ideas and kinda wanting your feedback in this area. What are your thoughts? 

Happy 2020! LETS GOOOOOO!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Years. I can't wait to be reunited with you in 2020! I've got big plans for the podcast in 2020 so stay tuned!!!!

November 2019 MOM Call

November 2019 MOM Call

Its the last Monday of November so it is time for our MOM call! We had another month of technical difficulties so we are breaking up with our conference call company. I will be spending time in the next coming weeks to figure out what platform we will use to host our calls. Stay tuned for those deets. This week is Thanksgiving, Black Friday & Small Business Saturday. If you are not already, go join the club on Facebook & take advantage of a killer Swag Shop sale we'll have going on for BF & SBS. 

Since this week is Thanksgiving week, I want to take a second to let you know how thankful I am for YOU! There is no better tribe than the HMMC & I am so thankful for all of the fun, loving, and special mommas that have found their way to the club & have become some of my dear friends! I am so thankful for you. I hope you and your family have a blessed holiday.  -LA

Adoption Myths

Adoption Myths

In this week's episode I am debunking some myths about adoption. In the 3rd segment, I ended up getting on an emotional soapbox. I apologize. After recording 100 times, I finally decided to leave well enough alone and just go with it. Again, I intended for this episode to be lighthearted but it turned emotional and serious. Nonetheless, I hope the point of the episode is still clear...ADOPTION IS BEAUTIFUL. 

Remember, check out Shop.HotMessMommaClub.com to purchase your adoption tees. $10 from every shirt sold will be donated to a family currently in the process of adopting.

RAD

RAD

Reactive Attachment Disorder, or RAD , was our first diagnosis. We have and continue to deal with RAD on a regular basis. I am frequently asked about RAD since it isn't always so obvious to others as to what RAD looks like in children. I hope this episode, complete with real examples recorded as they happened, gives you some insight into RAD and what it looks like for us. If you, or someone you know, want to chat about RAD, please please please email me. I would love to chat about RAD and the therapies we have tried and be a sounding board for others in this same boat!

October 2019 MOM Call

October 2019 MOM Call

In early October I asked for volunteers for our October Mom Of The Month. I was OVERWHELMED with the amount of mommas who wanted to be on the Chit Chat podcast. Rather than exclude or make you wait, I decided I would host a virtual mom's night out each month! During our moms night out, we will chat, laugh, vent, and rant then on the last Monday of every month, you can come here to the podcast and listen to our call! 

Our first call wasn't without issues. I heard from many of you that there were technical difficulties. I also heard that some of you fell asleep before the call time. No worries! Over in the Hot Mess Momma Club Facebook group I am posting how-to videos as well as date/time polls so that our November Mom's Night Out goes much smoother! 

I hope you enjoy this unscripted, off the cuff, MOM chat & that you'll join us for next month's virtual mom's night out!

E.18 Road Trip Part 2

We're back on the road! This is our return trip. I'll go ahead and tell you there is less energy & enthusiasm in this episode. There may (or may not) be more Jonas Brothers talk though! While I enjoyed the extra one on one time with my momma & seeing my family, I am so glad to be back home and back into my bed & routine. I had 2 boys & 2 dogs who really missed their momma. Huge props to JHub for holding down the fort & despite all the chaos, managed to keep the house going. Even when I am away, our house is a Hot Mess!

E.16 April & May MOM

E.16 April & May MOM

Its the first Monday of May which means its our Mom Of The Month episode! Since the scheduling for the MOM interview was changed mid-month last month, we didn't have an April MOM soooo this month its a 2fer! Two MOMs. 1 interview. You don't want to miss this fun episode, featuring Mary Ruth and Amanda. We gathered around a conference table and some pizzas for a podcast Mukbang! You are sure to spend your next 30ish minutes laughing as you hear stories about hoes in the front yard, snakes being tossed into the neighbor's yard, asking someone if they're preggo when they're not, & giving advice when you're not really qualified. This roundtable MOM interview was a fun one and I can't wait to do more MOM episodes like this!

E.14 Stress Eating

E.14 Stress Eating

April is Stress Awareness Month. I have been very intentional about my stress this month. I have started meditating, I have hired a cleaning lady, I have taken time off, I have had honest conversations with myself....I've done all these things to be more aware and intentional about my stress. During that honest conversation with myself, I thought about how I handle stress and one of the things I do when I am stressed is eat. I am a stress eater. After trying on a bathing suit, I decided to record this episode on the fly to talk about stress eating, self doubt, & embracing the skin I am in. I honestly hope that none of you can relate and you all love your bodies. That would be AWESOME. But, I have a feeling, I am not alone here. I want to spend a few minutes sharing my heart and helping you see that you are not alone!
