Mama Juice

Orchid will do anything to avoid working out, even blurting out that she hates kids in front of 40 people! Spoiler alert, she still had to run on the treadmill. Steffanie is much more disciplined and follows the rules (typical).

"Mom bods" get a bad rap even though it seems like the "dad bod" is glorified and celebrated everywhere (key sign of the patriarchy). Although nothing "bounced back" after baby, we are celebrating our mom bods because we were able to grow a human being AND CARRY THEM WITH OUR MICHELLE OBAMA ARMS.

Do not be saddened by your stretch marks, they're a badge of honor. Squishy tummy = 3D printed and housed a human. That extra poundage? More of us to love.

Listen to us complain, since we're practicing for the day that complaining becomes an Olympic sport.

After exhausting "trips" with our children, Orchid and Steffanie each embark a REAL "adults only" vacation and come back to tell the tale of expensive pool-side margaritas, the appeal of two queen beds and why 5pm dinner reservations are where it's at!

Steffanie and Orchid return from their respective family "vacations" more tired and stressed than before they left. That's because a vacation with kids is NOT a vacation, it's a trip. Listen to what Steffanie saw at Ripley's Believe it or Not and why Orchid found bliss at a Qdoba in Wisconsin.

"Pregnancy glow" is a dirty lie! Orchid shares the best Taco Bell items to eat while driving home and Steffanie talks about her love of moving pillows around.

Steffanie and Orchid read their birth plans and laugh and laugh and laugh.
