Mom Buns

Travel looks different this summer but that doesn't mean you can't do it safely. We've got the lowdown on road tripping with the kids while maintaining your sanity... Yes, it IS possible! 

There's so much people don't tell you about having a baby! Ashley and Lauren shed some light on the reality behind having a baby & catch up on life in this Pandemic edition of Mom Buns. WARNING: Things are a little graphic so don't listen around your littles but be prepared to laugh. 

Being pregnant can already be stressful enough, so why not try it during a pandemic? We get really honest, sharing fears and coping mechanisms in hopes of helping any other mamas out there who might be in the same boat. 

Anyone else out there having a rough time adjusting to kids being schooled at home right now? Just us? We want you to know you're not alone and since we needed a minute to ourselves while so many of us are quarantined at home with fam, we thought we'd offer some tips on how we're handling it all. With a side of sarcasm, of course. WARNING: This contains curse words. Lots of them. Because at this point, why the hell not? 

Pink is for girls and blue is for boys. Whether we've heard it, seen it or participated in it, gender stereotypes are everywhere. From the roles you play at home to what your kids see at school, we dissect how to bust out of those boxes society seems to put us in.

(Whether the invisible kind or the laundry.) We talk it out about what to do when you feel ALL of the feelings and just can't snap out of that resentment zone.
