If you post a photo on social media should you expect and accept the judgment that comes with it? You are posting it publicly after all. One photo inspired this conversation and it gets good.

Quitting is a big topic today. If your kids are doing an activity FOR THEM and now FOR YOU, then should they get to decide when they're over it? Or do we need to teach them to follow through with what they start?

An ongoing story begins to unfold today!! STAMPGATE is here and it gets intense.

Kids' parties are ridiculous....RIDICULOUS we tell you!! Some parent's are trying to out-do one another, others are barely able to afford their parties and then there's the worst part of it all..... PARTY FAVORS! (Insert eye roll emoji here please***)

"Mommy Friends" was a topic that took us all by surprise. Brandi and Orly have very different views and Orly may or may not lose her cool.

A teacher was blasted for writing "Pathetic" on a kid's paper and it prompted a conversation about the responsibility / role of teacher's in our kids' lives. Should they be nurturing or tough. Can they be both?

ORLY's Clear Heels

Today we're talking about how our "look" is expected to change AFTER having kids or after reaching a certain age. Is it empowering to still dress sexy and youthful or do you just look thirsty AF?

Anne Hathaway talked about how she quite drinking for the remainder of her son's childhood and it got us thinking about our own relationships with alcohol. Some of us partake on the reg and some of us don't but we get into it.

AMI's "Favorite Favorite" Retinol Capsules

Megan Markle got us thinking about the importance of keeping traditions alive WHILE still making things your own.  Is that even possible? Should we sacrifice something we may want in order to keep an important tradition alive in our family? Is the tradition bigger than us?

Kim K is always called out for Cultural Appropriation but it prompted a conversation about the difference between "appropriation" and "appreciation." It's one of the most confusing topics right now but also one of the most heated... We get into it.

Ya know that friend that somehow NEVER buys a round. NEVER pitches in her fair share, NEVER pays you back? Yea, us too.  The conversation started because Kathie Lee is claiming Kris Jenner own her some money and then we realized...."Stars They're Just Like Us!"

1) Chrissy Teigen talks openly about her "new" body and it's got us thinking...

Should we strive to get back to our pre-baby body or embrace all the changes and settle into the "new us" ?

2) Kim K is having baby # 4 and it got us wondering, how does the average Joe and Jane manage it!?

She can afford all the help she needs or wants... but wtf about us!?

3) Sarah Silverman put Hulu on blast when they charged her $1500 for her Emmy's Glam. 

Just a healthy reminder that it costs THOUSANDS of dollars to look like they do on the red carpet...so chill with your personal expectations.
