  I'm Christina.
• 0:00
  And I'm Teef.
• 0:01
  And this is the Pretty in Pink Again podcast.
• 0:03
  Where motherhood meets rediscovery.
• 0:16
  Hello.
• 0:17
  Hello.
• 0:18
  Hi.
• 0:18
  What a day.
• 0:20
  What a day.
• 0:21
  We have little Pippas downstairs.
• 0:22
  We have It's, it's like communal over here.
• 0:25
  Communal parenting.
• 0:27
  Communal mothering, I should say.
• 0:30
  That's how it should be.
• 0:31
  I know.
• 0:31
  Honestly, how much easier is it?
• 0:34
  There's been a couple of times, probably over the last, like, six months, where we've just, combined efforts and, we put the kids together, and it is easier parenting the kids when they're together than it is solo.
• 0:46
  Yeah.
• 0:46
  I swear to God.
• 0:47
  I think that our generation is getting it wrong and we need to change things up again.
• 0:51
  For sure.
• 0:52
  I was, not to, go off on this whole tangent, I went for a walk with my girlfriend the other morning, and I, we were saying that, our boys are 13, and we're waiting for them to get in trouble.
• 1:00
  Go to a party and get in trouble.
• 1:03
  Or hang out with a friend.
• 1:04
  Do something wrong.
• 1:05
  Like go to a field.
• 1:07
  Not even get in trouble, but just do something with other kids.
• 1:11
  I'm like,"Do something.""No, because they're like on their phones- Right and they're also overscheduled." So then she sent me a meme later that day, and she was like,"Kids need to go back to, hanging out in fields." Yeah.
• 1:23
  Like us.
• 1:24
  The power line parties.
• 1:25
  That's what we used to call them.
• 1:26
  Hanging out in fields and not- On their phones or, at hockey tournaments, like- Yeah, but- all weekend long no one could get away with that anymore.
• 1:33
  Like, there's just too much.
• 1:34
  I know.
• 1:34
  That's my thing.
• 1:35
  We've done it wrong.
• 1:35
  Like, you can, like, track your kid's phone, and you can, like, there's cameras all over your house.
• 1:39
  Like, you can't sneak out.
• 1:40
  You can't do anything.
• 1:41
  Can't do a thing.
• 1:42
  So I think that we should definitely do an episode about, nostalgia- Mm-hmm and, things maybe that our kids would never be able to do that we were able to do or, like, something, we'll, like, play with that'cause I think that that might be a really fun convo and, a memory lane.
• 1:58
  So how was the weekend?
• 1:59
  Good.
• 2:00
  And we're prepping, this episode's gonna come out after our trip already because we're pre-recording- Mm-hmm before our Ireland trip.
• 2:08
  So it's gonna come out and we're already gonna be back- Mm-hmm or, like, just back.
• 2:12
  So, ask me next week how I'm doing.
• 2:16
  Okay.
• 2:16
  I can't believe I, like, sat on this podcast and was, like, debating traveling with my kids, and now we're taking, like, an international trip.
• 2:23
  They're gonna do great.
• 2:25
  God's in first.
• 2:26
  They're gonna do great.
• 2:26
  God's in first.
• 2:26
  Yeah.
• 2:26
  You guys- And we're taking a red-eye.
• 2:28
  I don't know how that's gonna go.
• 2:28
  They're g- they are gonna do great.
• 2:30
  Mm-hmm.
• 2:30
  And you are going to make sure you have a day to yourself when you return.
• 2:33
  Yes, absolutely.
• 2:34
  You're not gonna work.
• 2:35
  Absolutely.
• 2:35
  You're gonna have- I'm gonna just decompress and you're gonna have the sitter come- Yeah and you're gonna take a day.
• 2:41
  You're gonna be alone.
• 2:42
  So ask me next week when we shoot next week.
• 2:44
  I'm excited for you.
• 2:45
  Yeah, I am too.
• 2:46
  It's gonna be a great trip.
• 2:46
  How you feeling?
• 2:48
  Fine.
• 2:48
  Good.
• 2:48
  Fine.
• 2:49
  We were home this weekend.
• 2:50
  We had, like, things to do with the kids.
• 2:52
  We went to the little town carnival.
• 2:53
  Yeah.
• 2:53
  Did you go to that with your kids?
• 2:54
  Yep, we did.
• 2:55
  Yep.
• 2:55
  So Joseph and his friends, like, get dropped off, and Nick and I were like,"You know what?
• 3:00
  We're just gonna go,"'cause it was kinda late.
• 3:02
  Yeah.
• 3:02
  We had, like, all the kids had friends with them, so we were like,"We'll go and we'll stay, too," and just kinda like watch what goes down.
• 3:07
  Hang out.
• 3:08
  Yeah.
• 3:09
  Y- And it was just so funny.
• 3:10
  Like, the 13, 14-year-old boys are, like, starting to act a little bit more cool and mature, whereas, like, Vincent and his friends are, like, wild, rolling in the mud, in the grass, going on the rides.
• 3:24
  And then, like- Did they get a wristband to go on all the rides?
• 3:26
  They got a wristband- Yeah for the unlimited rides.
• 3:28
  Yeah.
• 3:28
  And Joseph wanted to hang out with me and Nick, and we were like,"You're being so lame.
• 3:32
  Go and hang out with your friends." And he's like, you know, like, trying to be cool.
• 3:36
  And then there was, like, packs of girls walking around.
• 3:39
  Like, I just- He's, like, too cool for school right now I just, like, fully observed these little preteens, and I was, like, right back in it.
• 3:46
  Yeah.
• 3:47
  Like, I remember being at the town carnival- Yes when I was that age.
• 3:49
  That is so fun.
• 3:50
  I know.
• 3:51
  I was getting nostalgic vibes, too, when I was thinking of it.
• 3:54
  But this one is tiny compared to what I grew up going to, so.
• 3:57
  Yes.
• 3:57
  Yeah.
• 3:58
  Yes.
• 3:58
  No, it is tiny.
• 3:59
  Which was great, because I have small kids, and there was, like, lots of small rides for them, and they were very cute.
• 4:05
  Aww.
• 4:05
  And Lei went on the Ferris wheel for the first time.
• 4:07
  She was, like, so brave.
• 4:08
  Stop it.
• 4:08
  Yep.
• 4:09
  You went on with her?
• 4:09
  I went on with her, and she wanted to go on it.
• 4:11
  And she loved it.
• 4:12
  Like, she saw it and wanted to go.
• 4:12
  Loved it.
• 4:13
  She had such a good time.
• 4:14
  What about Leo?
• 4:14
  We all went down the big slide.
• 4:16
  Like, I went- You went down the big slide?
• 4:18
  Yes, everybody did it.
• 4:18
  I know, I'm like, yeah, I have to go on with every- I have to go on for everything.
• 4:21
  We need to go together next year- Yeah because my kids can take your kids.
• 4:25
  Yes.
• 4:25
  I know.
• 4:26
  I know,'cause there was that little- The height the height thing- With my kids and it said,"With parent, without parent," and of course we had to go on everything.
• 4:33
  Aww.
• 4:33
  But it was still so cute.
• 4:35
  You're such a good mommy.
• 4:35
  Yeah, it was really fu- I'm a ride girl.
• 4:37
  Like, I- You are?
• 4:38
  Yeah.
• 4:38
  Like, I used to- Oh love roller coasters.
• 4:41
  Like, I went to- Cedar Point or some- Cedar something in Ohio.
• 4:46
  It used to be one of, like, the biggest rollercoaster parks in the country, and I, like, lived for that, which is very shocking.
• 4:53
  Are you serious?
• 4:54
  Yes.
• 4:54
  You little thrill-seeker.
• 4:55
  I love it.
• 4:56
  No, I will stand in line all day long.
• 4:58
  I'll hold everybody's bags and everybody's merch and I'll get everybody snacks- Mm-hmm and water.
• 5:02
  I do not like rides.
• 5:04
  Do you ever see the guy, he's, I, I hope everybody listening will get this on their Instagram algorithm now.
• 5:10
  There's a guy, I have to find him.
• 5:12
  He, like, lip syncs really epic songs while he's on a rollercoaster.
• 5:19
  And so it'll be, like, an Ariana Grande song or, like, a JoJo song like,"Get out right now." Yeah.
• 5:25
  Like, he sings it, and, like, it'll always be, like, the bridge where it's, like, slow motion.
• 5:29
  And, like, he also sings in the rain.
• 5:31
  If you see him, he is, like, the funniest creator.
• 5:33
  I'm obsessed with him right now.
• 5:35
  That, you should do that.
• 5:35
  And I was like,"I should have done that," like, while I was- You, it's not too late riding the mini rollercoaster with my kids.
• 5:40
  It's not too late.
• 5:41
  Yeah.
• 5:42
  I smell a trip to Disney coming up.
• 5:43
  I love it.
• 5:44
  I know.
• 5:45
  Maybe we're there.
• 5:46
  But okay, today we're gonna keep this really light,'cause we've had a lot of really great conversations the last couple of weeks, but sometimes we just like to lighten it up.
• 5:54
  I know.
• 5:54
  The one from last week with Mommy B.
• 5:56
  Well- Yeah with a- the postpartum depression- Mm-hmm anxiety- Mm-hmm psychosis.
• 6:01
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:02
  You know, that was a very informative and heavy episode.
• 6:06
  For sure.
• 6:06
  But I feel like that just goes to show, like, how much we need to talk about that.
• 6:11
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:11
  But I also love that we just have a big range on this podcast.
• 6:14
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:14
  And we can go deep into very tough conversations, and then we like to keep it light and laugh a little bit, and that's what we're gonna do today.
• 6:21
  Yes.
• 6:22
  So we thought we would do a little quickie episode, and we are gonna do a Would You Rather Millennial Mom edition.
• 6:30
  And we have some really- Love it funny Would You Rather questions.
• 6:34
  And what are the rules?
• 6:37
  You can't say neither Or both.
• 6:39
  Or both.
• 6:39
  Right?
• 6:40
  Like, you have to choose.
• 6:41
  Even though in life I never want two choices.
• 6:43
  I know, but, like, we're gonna- I'm always like,"What's in the bag?" It's not fun if we are, like, both or, like, neither'cause then it's it's, it really kills the vibe, so.
• 6:49
  All right.
• 6:50
  Okay.
• 6:50
  Let's do it.
• 6:50
  So kick us off.
• 6:52
  Okay.
• 6:53
  Let's start with mom life.
• 6:54
  Okay, we're gonna do them by category.
• 6:55
  Okay.
• 6:56
  Mm-hmm.
• 6:56
  Okay.
• 6:57
  Okay.
• 6:57
  Would you rather have a toddler tantrum on an airplane- or a teenager meltdown on vacation?
• 7:06
  Well, I don't know what a teenager meltdown is like, but my toddler meltdowns are epic, so I can't imagine what they're gonna be when they're a teenager.
• 7:15
  Okay.
• 7:15
  Do they relate?
• 7:16
  I would- is it like- I would choose the t- the toddler- What?
• 7:19
  tantrum because I feel like it's socially acceptable- That's true to have a two-year-old melting down.
• 7:24
  Like, I feel like that's normal.
• 7:26
  Right.
• 7:26
  And perhaps- Even though I wanna, like, crawl in a hole perhaps it's also socially acceptable to have a teenage meltdown, but, like, when my teen melts down- Mm-hmm like, I can't scoop him up and be like,"It's okay." I know.
• 7:39
  I-"Don't disrupt the person next to us." I feel like I've gotten to the point where the moms and parents you have that non-verbal communication when you're in the middle of a meltdown- Uh-huh where, like, another mom, there's obviously some looks and some side eyes, but then you'll, like, catch eyes with another mom.
• 7:56
  Yeah, that they're rooting for you.
• 7:57
  And they're like I know.
• 7:58
  I've been there.
• 7:59
  You got it," you know?
• 8:00
  Mm-hmm.
• 8:00
  Like, they just believe in you, and so I guess I'll choose that because I feel like you do get a little sympathy.
• 8:07
  Yeah.
• 8:07
  You know?
• 8:08
  No, a teenage meltdown is insufferable behavior.
• 8:10
  Ooh.
• 8:10
  Oh, man.
• 8:11
  Okay.
• 8:13
  Would you rather repeat the newborn sleep stage or potty train all over again?
• 8:18
  Potty train.
• 8:18
  I didn't think that- Same I didn't think potty training was that bad.
• 8:21
  Same.
• 8:21
  I agree.
• 8:22
  Sleep.
• 8:23
  No.
• 8:24
  We have a whole episode on that.
• 8:25
  No.
• 8:26
  Like, I- We, we did I think everyone would know our answers for that one.
• 8:30
  Would you rather have kids who wake up every day at 5:00 AM or won't go to bed until 10:00 PM?
• 8:35
  Well, I have kids that, like, won't go to bed till 9:00 PM.
• 8:38
  So I would choose that one.
• 8:40
  Okay.
• 8:40
  The 10- 10:00 PM is, like, one extra hour.
• 8:43
  I hate waking up early.
• 8:44
  Like- Yeah.
• 8:45
  Same and I feel like the day is, whenever we have an early start to the day, I just never can recover from it.
• 8:52
  Mm-hmm.
• 8:52
  So I would rather have a late night and, like, a late morning- same.
• 8:56
  Agreed if that makes sense.
• 8:57
  Although, kids that go to bed late normally wake up early, but my kids are, like, at the point where if they go to bed a little late, they'll still, they can sleep in a little bit.
• 9:05
  Yeah.
• 9:06
  So- I would say the same.
• 9:06
  Oh, that's a tough one, though.
• 9:08
  Okay.
• 9:09
  Would you rather have no babysitter for six months or no date night for a year?
• 9:13
  Sorry, Raj.
• 9:14
  Turn the mic down.
• 9:16
  I know what her answer's gonna be.
• 9:17
  I would rather have a no official date night for a year?
• 9:22
  That's That's what it says no, I get, like, really mad if it's been, like, a month and we haven't gone out to dinner or had any time.
• 9:29
  That is, But no babysitter?
• 9:32
  Okay, I suppose you can plead the fifth for one or two of these.
• 9:33
  No.
• 9:34
  No, no, no, no.
• 9:34
  We're, nope, we're not gonna do that.
• 9:36
  I think I'd still choose no date night, and we would just have to be, like, creative maybe we try to have, like, a dinner after the kids go to bed or something.
• 9:45
  But, like, I could not live without a babysitter for six months.
• 9:49
  I would go crazy.
• 9:50
  Right?
• 9:50
  What about you?
• 9:51
  Your kids, I feel like- I don't need a babysitter.
• 9:53
  Oh, that's very unfair.
• 9:54
  I don't need a babysitter anymore.
• 9:56
  But I mean, I shouldn't say I don't- Yeah'cause I, I, I do, actually.
• 9:59
  Yeah.
• 9:59
  But I don't, it's, I, they're not gonna, like- Yeah I'm not gonna get, like, arrested- Okay like you would if you left them home alone.
• 10:08
  Arrested.
• 10:09
  Okay, here's one.
• 10:10
  I feel like we've talked about this- Oh on the podcast.
• 10:12
  Would you rather host Thanksgiving or travel with all the kids for Thanksgiving?
• 10:19
  I don't know.
• 10:19
  I guess I could do both.
• 10:20
  Uh, neither one of those would be like a no for me.
• 10:22
  Okay.
• 10:23
  I would, I would happily host Thanksgiving and also happily travel with all the kids- I feel like- for Thanksgiving last year or the year before, I would've rather hosted just so that I could be in my house, the kids could nap, like, it wasn't throwing off our routine as much.
• 10:37
  But now, I think I'm more about, like, getting out- Mm-hmm and not having to, like, clean.
• 10:44
  You know what I mean?
• 10:44
  Mm-hmm.
• 10:44
  And like, just kind of being a guest, like, not that I'm a bad guest, but like, no, I know what you're saying.
• 10:49
  Like, it's so much work to host, and it's so much work to have kids and host.
• 10:53
  Like- Like, so I feel like it's just- Right, but you would've chosen having everybody come to you- Yes and doing that work- Yes versus the work of, like, packing up and going out.
• 11:00
  Yes.
• 11:00
  But now, like- And now you're like,"Actually- Now, uh, now there's less to pack up I wouldn't mind packing up and going out." Now there's, like, less to pack up.
• 11:05
  Both kids are potty-trained.
• 11:07
  We could skip a nap if we have to.
• 11:09
  It's not that big of a deal, so now I'd rather go out.
• 11:13
  Look at you.
• 11:13
  So much growth.
• 11:14
  All the things.
• 11:15
  Okay, this is for you.
• 11:17
  Would you rather- It's not just for me, honey Okay?
• 11:20
  Your kids are also in school.
• 11:21
  Would you rather deal with lice or the stomach bug that takes down the en- entire house one person at a time?
• 11:28
  Okay, I'm gonna say lice, and I know most- Yeah people would say the stomach bug, but we've had lice, and it actually wasn't that big of a deal.
• 11:34
  Really?
• 11:35
  No.
• 11:35
  W- we, people make such a big deal over it.
• 11:37
  The stomach bug is so much worse- I know first of all, if you get it all at once, it's the freaking worst because then, like, you can't really take care of yourself- I know, but I think- and then your kids one by one is the worst we ne- but then, but we, that never happens.
• 11:49
  Oh.
• 11:49
  We always get it one by one, and then the whole house is out for, like, forever, and you gotta bleach everything.
• 11:54
  Lice, you just comb that shit out of your hair- Or someone else and you do the treatment.
• 11:58
  You have the, the lady come.
• 11:59
  Yeah, I have the lice lady.
• 12:00
  Yeah.
• 12:00
  Now I could be the lice lady.
• 12:01
  Yeah.
• 12:02
  And- The lice lady then it's, then it, done.
• 12:04
  Actually, the other day, just this past weekend, my sister called me and she was like,"You better check the girls'.
• 12:09
  The soccer team had it," and like,"You better just keep checking," blah, blah, blah.
• 12:13
  And I said,"Honey, we've been doing lice checks- Yeah, you're like- and treatments like once a week" you're a pro now.
• 12:18
  So,'cause it, it happens.
• 12:20
  Okay.
• 12:20
  Well, we've...
• 12:21
  Oh, I don't even wanna say.
• 12:22
  If you get it, I'll get rid of it.
• 12:24
  Okay.
• 12:24
  Okay.
• 12:25
  Well, then that will be my answer without me even having to say it.
• 12:28
  Ugh.
• 12:29
  Okay.
• 12:29
  Would you rather spend four hours in an indoor trampoline park or at a kid's birthday party where you know no one?
• 12:35
  At a kid's birthday party where you know no one.
• 12:37
  I feel like I would choose that one.
• 12:38
  Birthday parties usually don't last that long.
• 12:40
  Four hours- That's true at a trampoline park is a long time.
• 12:42
  'Cause I don't mind the trampoline park, but I feel like- But four hours?
• 12:46
  Four hours sounds real- like, after one hour, I'm ready to get out of there.
• 12:50
  So I guess I'll take the birthday party, too.
• 12:52
  Would you rather your kid forget their entire sports bag or realize you drove to the wrong field?
• 12:58
  Either way I'd be like,"I'm out," so it doesn't matter.
• 13:01
  If we forgot the sports bag, I'm out, and if we drive to the wrong field, I'm out.
• 13:04
  So then there- we're just not going to sports that day.
• 13:07
  So Driving to the wrong field sucks.
• 13:13
  I've done that before.
• 13:16
  'Cause you know what, driving to the wrong field is like,"I messed up." Right.
• 13:20
  The kids forgetting their sports bag is like- Right they messed up.
• 13:22
  So I'm like,"Oh, you're just gonna have to-" Okay"sit out and learn a lesson on this one." Okay, that makes sense,'cause then you blame.
• 13:25
  But if you drive to the wrong field, you're like- Okay"Mom is-" Yes"scatterbrained and screwed up." You're, you're the ba- well, you're like, you're the villain in that scenario.
• 13:34
  Yeah, so I'm gonna choose the former.
• 13:35
  Okay, I like that.
• 13:36
  All right, so let's go on to Extremely Millennial Edition.
• 13:40
  Okay.
• 13:42
  Would you rather give up Target or Amazon Prime?
• 13:46
  She gasped.
• 13:47
  Okay, I g- I would rather give up Target, even though I love Target, and I love Target for shoes.
• 13:53
  I feel like that's the only thing I couldn't get myself on Amazon.
• 13:58
  I love Target shoes.
• 13:59
  Really?
• 14:00
  Yeah.
• 14:00
  Oh.
• 14:00
  I feel like they're always so comfortable.
• 14:02
  Okay.
• 14:03
  And, but that would be it,'cause everything else at Target, for the most part, I could get on Amazon.
• 14:08
  Yeah, I would think so- So with Target.
• 14:09
  Yeah.
• 14:10
  Okay.
• 14:10
  Would you rather give up Instagram or your group chats?
• 14:14
  Group chats,'cause I feel like my Instagram DM'ing of memes to my friends- Yes, true has, like, replaced- Yes, true my group chats.
• 14:22
  Okay.
• 14:22
  Sorry, girl.
• 14:23
  What about you?
• 14:24
  I'm, I can't give up Instagram or I don't have a job.
• 14:26
  So I can't that's, uh, we're not gonna be able to do that one.
• 14:30
  But I do love my group chats.
• 14:32
  Mm.
• 14:33
  But I agree, we could just move those over to Instagram would you rather have skinny jeans become mandatory again or low-rise jeans become mandatory again?
• 14:41
  Skinny jeans.
• 14:42
  I'm, I keep seeing skinny jeans everywhere.
• 14:44
  Well, they're coming back.
• 14:45
  I keep seeing them everywhere- Yep, yep and they look great.
• 14:48
  They are coming back.
• 14:49
  And I didn't hate them.
• 14:52
  But low-rise, I will n- I will never do low-rise again.
• 14:55
  Not the way that we did them.
• 14:57
  We talked about that in our Millennial Trend episode a couple weeks ago.
• 15:01
  Mm-hmm.
• 15:01
  And I just, I can't get on board with it.
• 15:03
  Would you rather wear your actual 2004 going out outfit to dinner tonight- or let your child style you for a week?
• 15:14
  If I could let Layla style me for a week, I would let Layla style me for a week Well, lucky for you, that's your child.
• 15:18
  Yeah.
• 15:19
  She- So I think you're good yeah, she's, she has good style.
• 15:21
  Yeah.
• 15:21
  And she picks out good things, so I would pro- But although I'm not, like, ashamed of what we wore back then.
• 15:27
  It's, like, in style now.
• 15:29
  Yeah.
• 15:31
  I have a picture of me wearing a white button-down- Mm-hmm like almost like a men's shirt- Mm-hmm with purple Adidas swoosh pants and sneakers the day after Christmas.
• 15:43
  And I wore it for, like, the entire Christmas break'cause I got that for, like, my Christmas gift- Oh, cute'cause that's what I wanted.
• 15:48
  Yeah.
• 15:48
  I wanted Adidas track pants in the color purple.
• 15:51
  And a button-down.
• 15:51
  And I wanted this, like, white like button-down, and I wore it the whole winter break.
• 15:57
  I was gonna style a white button-down today with track pants.
• 16:00
  There you go.
• 16:00
  'Cause that's, like, the look.
• 16:02
  Yeah, exactly.
• 16:02
  Yeah, so you wouldn't, it wouldn't be that embarrassing right now.
• 16:05
  10 years ago maybe, but, like, I feel like right now you would just- I feel like what I was wearing in 2004, though, when I was a senior in high school- 2004 I don't think I had good style that particularly year.
• 16:15
  I was probably wearing- I think I was very tan some sort of, like, tank top, layered tank top situation,'cause I always, like, layered- Mm-hmm lacy camis on top of each other.
• 16:23
  And then I would wear my low-rise jeans and UGG boots.
• 16:28
  That was, like, that's what I would go out.
• 16:30
  I don't think I like that style.
• 16:31
  Okay.
• 16:32
  So we're gonna let Layla style me.
• 16:34
  The low-rise jeans, like the muffin top pants?
• 16:35
  Oh, it's- I just don't think I loved that look.
• 16:37
  Okay.
• 16:38
  Okay.
• 16:38
  Final answer.
• 16:40
  Final answer.
• 16:41
  Okay.
• 16:42
  Oh, this is a sad one.
• 16:44
  Would you rather lose your entire camera roll or every text thread and group chat you've ever had?
• 16:50
  Oh, every group te- Ugh every group chat.
• 16:52
  I delete all my text messages.
• 16:54
  I just go through and delete them all.
• 16:55
  Okay.
• 16:56
  But I don't wanna lose my camera roll.
• 16:58
  Oh, I would not.
• 16:58
  I would still choose losing my group chat or, like, my text messages over the camera roll, but I just feel like I have, like, texts- You save your group chats?
• 17:08
  Not texts- Not so, not so much the group chats, but I have, like, texts from, like, my grandpa.
• 17:13
  You do?
• 17:13
  Mm-hmm.
• 17:14
  Your grandpa texts?
• 17:15
  He did.
• 17:16
  Aw.
• 17:16
  And so- What a doll yeah, like, I feel like, but I would rather have pictures.
• 17:22
  Yeah.
• 17:22
  Like, but- Well, make sure you screenshot those text messages that would be really sad.
• 17:25
  I know, that's true.
• 17:25
  That is so sweet you have text messages from your grandpa.
• 17:28
  I do.
• 17:28
  Yeah, I do.
• 17:29
  Aw.
• 17:29
  Would you rather accidentally like an ex's photo from 2012 Or send a screenshot of someone texts back to that person?
• 17:40
  Okay, well I've done- Wait, what does that mean?
• 17:42
  So like if you and I were texting and we were in a fight, and then I took a screenshot of that fight- and I sent it to you instead of like my sister.
• 17:52
  Yeah, but like who is it?
• 17:53
  Who's the person?
• 17:54
  Right like any screenshot of a conversation back to that person?
• 17:57
  Or do you want like...
• 17:58
  First of all, in 2012 I think I was married to Nick, right?
• 17:59
  I think I met him- Yeah, I was married to Raja in 2011, so that doesn't really apply.
• 18:06
  Yeah, but that still would be humiliating.
• 18:10
  I guess- I guess you can quickly unlike, right?
• 18:14
  They get that notice- But like sending a screenshot if they, if they get a notification shit.
• 18:20
  Sending a screenshot of a conversation back to that person.
• 18:25
  Oh, my God.
• 18:25
  I guess you could say that was an accident.
• 18:27
  I guess I'm trying to think of ways you would get out of either of these.
• 18:30
  There's no getting out of it.
• 18:31
  You sent the screenshot, you know what you're doing.
• 18:34
  Okay, I, I would probably choose that one.
• 18:36
  You might as well just follow up by being,"I'm sorry." You like-"I was sending it to my sister- Yeah.
• 18:39
  to help me unpack this bullshit." Right.
• 18:42
  Just being honest.
• 18:45
  Okay.
• 18:47
  Would you rather have your kids read your notes app or your husband read the group chat?
• 18:55
  I think if my husband read my group chat, he would have me institutionalized.
• 18:59
  Like, what?
• 19:01
  I will say that Raja probably knows a lot of what's going on in the group chat because- Yeah when I'm, like, laughing my ass off- Yeah he's u- I usually inform him of what's going on, and I'm, like, telling it, sorry girls, I'm, like, telling him, like, the play-by-play, like, while crying.
• 19:17
  And so he most likely knows what's going on, but the kids read my Notes app.
• 19:25
  I guess I don't really, like, say much about them in the Notes app, so probably that one.
• 19:30
  Okay.
• 19:30
  I don't think you're b- um, like, bothered by either one of these.
• 19:33
  No.
• 19:34
  Yeah.
• 19:35
  Okay.
• 19:35
  Would you rather give up online shopping for a year or take out food delivery for a year?
• 19:41
  Oh, Jesus.
• 19:44
  I don't- Honestly, this is one- I don't even know how to answer it I'd wanna say neither.
• 19:47
  You can't though.
• 19:47
  You can't.
• 19:47
  I do food delivery.
• 19:48
  I know, I'm just saying, I do food delivery so frequently, and honestly, stores do not make it easy to in-person shop anymore.
• 19:55
  No, like, there's no other option.
• 19:57
  They never have anything.
• 19:57
  They don't stock things.
• 19:57
  It's almost like they push you to want- Right to order online from, like, their warehouses- Right'cause it's easier for them'cause then they don't have to, like, stock the store.
• 20:05
  Right.
• 20:05
  There's, like, better incentives when you order things online.
• 20:07
  You, like, really can't give up online shopping because, like- Yeah what would we wear?
• 20:13
  I would, I'm gonna go with take out food del- food delivery.
• 20:16
  Oh, crap.
• 20:17
  Okay, no.
• 20:18
  That's like Instacart.
• 20:18
  Okay.
• 20:19
  Not just, like, Uber Eats, but that's, like, all food delivery.
• 20:22
  Okay.
• 20:22
  Whole Foods delivery.
• 20:22
  So we're gonna have to go shopping at the grocery store.
• 20:25
  Well, you've been doing that lately.
• 20:26
  But you can.
• 20:27
  Yeah, you can.
• 20:27
  You know what I mean?
• 20:28
  Versus, like, what you're saying, like, you can't really shop that much.
• 20:30
  Yeah, I think I would give up- Okay the online shopping for a year.
• 20:33
  Okay, same.
• 20:34
  Okay.
• 20:36
  Okay.
• 20:37
  Round three, marriage.
• 20:39
  Oh, geez.
• 20:40
  Would you rather hear,"What are we doing this weekend?" Or have to explain six times what's for dinner every night at 5:45?
• 20:52
  I would probably rather hear,"What are we doing this weekend?" Then what's for dinner?
• 20:58
  Yeah.
• 20:58
  'Cause sometimes my answer with what's for dinner is,"I don't know.
• 21:02
  What's for dinner?" If somebody asks me what's for dinner, it usually means I haven't made it yet.
• 21:09
  Which means I'm gonna be fucking pissed.
• 21:11
  Yeah.
• 21:13
  Which means my answer's not gonna be nice.
• 21:15
  I'd rather hear, what are we doing this weekend?
• 21:16
  That sounds like more fun.
• 21:18
  I swear some of these don't apply to my husband, but would you rather your husband load the dishwasher wrong forever or leave every cabinet door open forever?
• 21:26
  Like, I do that.
• 21:27
  Yeah, no, these apply to me.
• 21:29
  Yeah.
• 21:29
  Yeah.
• 21:29
  So Nick doesn't do any of this stuff.
• 21:31
  No.
• 21:31
  He, like- I do all this wrong perfectly lines the dishwasher correct.
• 21:35
  Mm-hmm.
• 21:35
  And he reloads it when I do it.
• 21:37
  Yeah.
• 21:38
  Also same.
• 21:39
  Ugh.
• 21:40
  Okay.
• 21:40
  Would you rather let your husband pack for a kids' vacation or buy every Christmas gift?
• 21:45
  Wait, like, he could do both of those, too.
• 21:47
  But I would probably rather him buy the Christmas gifts because I think of every scenario for packing, and so I feel like it wouldn't be completely, like, all the boxes wouldn't be checked.
• 22:02
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:03
  Like, he's, like, a minimalist when it comes to packing, and I need a little bit extra.
• 22:07
  Like, I'm like,"Okay, well, we need an extra pair of pajamas.
• 22:10
  What if it's cold?
• 22:11
  We need the coat." And he would eliminate those things.
• 22:14
  You know what I mean?
• 22:15
  I'm the minimalist in our relationship.
• 22:16
  Oh.
• 22:17
  And Nick is the extra, so I think I would say- The opposite I would do the Christmas shopping'cause he would have a truckload, like being ch- like, mm, mm, mm, being, like, dropped off of gifts.
• 22:30
  Um, I mean, except for the ones from Santa Claus, of course.
• 22:33
  And at least for vacation, like, we already own the stuff here- Right that I've bought.
• 22:38
  Right, right, right.
• 22:38
  So I- Yeah I think I would let him do the vacation.
• 22:39
  Okay.
• 22:40
  Would you rather let him plan every family vacation for a year or every date night for a year with zero input from you?
• 22:50
  I would rather him do date night.
• 22:51
  Yeah, same.
• 22:52
  I like to plan our vacations.
• 22:53
  Me too.
• 22:53
  I like to have input on vacations.
• 22:56
  Yeah.
• 22:57
  I like, yeah, I do all of our vacations now.
• 22:59
  Mm-hmm.
• 22:59
  All of our travel, all of our documents, all of our- Mm-hmm everything.
• 23:02
  And also, I don't like him to know how much the vacation cost because- then he doesn't enjoy it.
• 23:07
  If he knows, like, it costs X amount of dollars the bar for the vacation- Right like, goes up even higher.
• 23:13
  Right.
• 23:13
  Like, his expectation- Too much pressure of how awesome it has to be.
• 23:15
  Right.
• 23:15
  Right, right, right.
• 23:16
  So if he doesn't know the cost of it, then he can just go in blindly- and either be like,"This was awesome," or,"This sucked." Would you rather your husband have access to your Google searches or your Amazon order history?
• 23:29
  Well, we share an Amazon account.
• 23:31
  Oh, you do?
• 23:32
  Don't you guys share an Amazon account?
• 23:33
  We don't.
• 23:33
  You don't?
• 23:33
  No, because I don't.
• 23:34
  No, because mine is, um, for work.
• 23:38
  Oh.
• 23:38
  So, like, it's just too much.
• 23:40
  Okay.
• 23:41
  I don't think I want Nick to see my Google searches.
• 23:43
  Again, to my earlier point- I didn't think of Googling I feel like he would have me institutionalized.
• 23:47
  I think for me you would have to say would you rather have him have access to your chat searches- Oh or your Amazon order, and I would still say Amazon order because I feel like he knows most of the things that are showing up.
• 24:00
  But my favorite thing to do now, we said that we should make a reel of this because it's like you know now.
• 24:06
  It's like you're an influencer, you get PR packages, and so sometimes stuff will show up and I'll be like,"Oh, I don't know what this is.
• 24:13
  It must be from, you know, like the brand must have sent it." Mm-hmm.
• 24:16
  And like some- And there was a receipt inside.
• 24:19
  Exactly.
• 24:21
  Bill too.
• 24:21
  He was like,"We have to make a reel of this," because he's like,"I know you're lying sometimes." Every time.
• 24:27
  I'm like,"Oh, I don't know where that..." He just said, he goes there's something coming from Amika," like the hair brand, and truthfully it is a PR package, but the way I, like, responded was like, I was like,"Oh, I don't know.
• 24:39
  They must be sending me something." And he's like,"The way you, you went up like five octaves like,'Oh, I don't know.
• 24:45
  They must...'" Oh.
• 24:47
  He's like,"You look so guilty." Oh.
• 24:51
  So mine is gonna be Amazon order history.
• 24:55
  Okay.
• 24:58
  Okay.
• 24:59
  Round four, we're gonna do girlhood at 40.
• 25:02
  Would you rather have a girls' trip with a 5:00 AM flight or a girls' trip with a 10:30 PM reservation?
• 25:10
  Like, for dinner?
• 25:11
  Yes.
• 25:13
  I think I would go 5:00 AM flight because- 5:00 AM is early flight though.
• 25:17
  It is.
• 25:18
  I mean, then you're like literally getting up at like 3:00.
• 25:20
  3:00.
• 25:20
  And then if, what if you have the 10:00 PM dinner that night?
• 25:23
  What a conundrum.
• 25:26
  Well, we wouldn't do that.
• 25:29
  But I think I'd choose the early flight.
• 25:31
  Yeah.
• 25:32
  'Cause then I feel like then we could have an early night and then semi-recover from the early morning.
• 25:37
  Okay.
• 25:37
  But like- This next one I feel like is very you and me.
• 25:40
  What?
• 25:41
  Because like one is for me and one's for you.
• 25:43
  Would you rather receive an 11-minute voice note text, voiced note text or a text that says,"Can you call me?" I mean, I would give you the 11-minute voice note and you would say,"Can you call me?" Right.
• 25:58
  "Can you talk right now?" Yeah.
• 26:00
  If I text you,"Can you call me?" I'm not calling for bad news.
• 26:04
  I'm calling- No, I know that though I'm calling because that's just my preferred method of communication.
• 26:08
  So if it was me and you, I would choose receive a text that says,"Can you call me?" Because I would know, actually, I would be like,"I don't know what the F she's gonna ask me," because it could be anything.
• 26:19
  It could be a story that she has to tell me or a quick question that could've been a text.
• 26:23
  This is true.
• 26:24
  This is true.
• 26:26
  But would you rather receive from me a can you call me text than my 11-minute voice note?
• 26:30
  No, I would worry that like something happened to the cats- Right.
• 26:33
  if you texted me,"Can you call me?" My, my palms would get sweaty.
• 26:38
  Would you rather- Would you rather your friend see your weekly screen time report or your monthly shopping total?
• 26:47
  Oh my God, both are wildly embarrassing.
• 26:50
  Yeah, I don't know what's worse.
• 26:51
  Oh my God, my screen time is atrocious.
• 26:54
  And you know what's unfair?
• 26:55
  But you can blame everything on work.
• 26:57
  You know what's really unfair?
• 26:59
  Tell me.
• 26:59
  Is that it counts when you're listening to like Audible or when you're listening to a podcast So do you want Apple to discriminate in things that are like- I do,'cause that's not like screen time.
• 27:11
  If I'm listening to something, I'm doing something else.
• 27:14
  I don't consider that screen time.
• 27:15
  Oh.
• 27:16
  So sometimes like I'll like fall asleep- Oh, I see.
• 27:19
  I see to like an Audible or something.
• 27:21
  Mm-hmm.
• 27:21
  And so then it will go a little, you know, until I like wake up, like sometimes it'll be like an extra 30 minutes or something.
• 27:26
  Do phone calls count as screen time?
• 27:27
  I don't know.
• 27:28
  Like if you're on the phone?
• 27:29
  I feel like anything with your phone counts as screen time.
• 27:31
  Like the Notes app.
• 27:32
  Sometimes it's...
• 27:32
  I remember one time, the reason I found out about this was because Raja and I were having kind of a dispute about how much screen time we have, and I went through and I said,"Wait a minute,"'cause mine was like ridiculous.
• 27:43
  I'm not even joking.
• 27:44
  It was like every minute you were awake for that day.
• 27:45
  It was literally like 10 hours, and I was like,"I'm not on my phone for 10 hours a day." And then it literally broke down and it said Audible and podcasts, and I was like first of all, I'm listening to my own podcast that we put out, and second of all, like some of that's like listening to a book.
• 28:01
  Yeah.
• 28:01
  Like, that doesn't count.
• 28:02
  Like- Right and so it's like if I listen to a book for an hour, it's counting as screen time, and so we had a whole debate over that.
• 28:08
  Okay.
• 28:09
  So it sounds like that's the one that you wouldn't want to see, people to see.
• 28:13
  Yes,'cause it's not reflective of real life.
• 28:15
  What about you?
• 28:17
  Honestly, I wouldn't mind somebody seeing my monthly shopping total because then maybe they would weigh in on theirs and I wouldn't feel so bad about mine.
• 28:27
  Would you rather never get Botox again or never color or highlight your hair again?
• 28:32
  Oh, shit.
• 28:33
  Well, I don't have grays yet.
• 28:34
  Right.
• 28:35
  And I'm brunette.
• 28:36
  So I think I would choose that one- I, my hair- over never getting Botox I don't know,'cause my hair has gotten so dark.
• 28:44
  My hair is getting darker as I'm getting older.
• 28:46
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:46
  My mom used to tell me that happened to her, too.
• 28:49
  Mm-hmm.
• 28:49
  And so n- and I'm like, I'm lightening it to, like, keep up this look.
• 28:53
  So I feel like when it's too dark I don't look like myself.
• 28:56
  Okay.
• 28:57
  So- So you would choose never getting Botox?
• 29:00
  I don't know.
• 29:01
  I'm at a loss, but I'm gonna say, I'm gonna say no Botox because I think Sam can, like, finagle something with my hair.
• 29:08
  Like, she could maybe, like, do something- Mm-hmm to, like, make it look- You say that now.
• 29:14
  Yeah.
• 29:15
  She's like,"No, I can't." Um, okay.
• 29:19
  Would you rather always be slightly overdressed or slightly underdressed?
• 29:23
  Over slightly overdressed.
• 29:25
  Over, same.
• 29:25
  Always.
• 29:26
  Always.
• 29:27
  Always.
• 29:27
  I feel like there's nothing worse than feeling underdressed somewhere.
• 29:31
  I know.
• 29:31
  We went to dinner with the kids on Sunday night and I was like,"Oh, I'm wearing sweats." And my girlfriend was like,"Yeah, me too." And then j- she was wearing jeans and a cardigan.
• 29:40
  And I was like,"Excuse you." You do that to me all the time.
• 29:42
  That is not dressing down.
• 29:43
  You do that to me all the time.
• 29:46
  I am actually in sweats.
• 29:46
  Like- You look cute.
• 29:48
  It, we have se- we've shared this behind the scenes, that we try to, like- Sam might know what we're wearing.
• 29:54
  It's not like we try to match, but it's like, what's the vibe today?
• 29:56
  Right, right.
• 29:57
  Just so that one of us isn't in sweats and one of us is in, like, a dress-up outfit.
• 30:02
  And so many times, T will tell me, she'll be like,"I'm wearing this," and then I show up and you're in a different outfit.
• 30:08
  Well, you ask me what I'm in, and I'm in a workout outfit'cause I was working out.
• 30:13
  That- Then I d- then I go home and I change into my podcast outfit.
• 30:16
  I'm not saying,"What are you in?" I'm saying,"What are you going to wear?" She will show up.
• 30:22
  Well, sometimes the literal text is,"What are you in?" Oh.
• 30:26
  So I tell you what I'm in.
• 30:28
  What are you in to record?
• 30:30
  Okay.
• 30:31
  That's gonna be how I phrase it.
• 30:32
  Well, you need to make an addendum to your- Uh-uh text messages to me because- Okay.
• 30:36
  So now we're gonna really get- into some unhinged ones.
• 30:40
  Would you rather have your kids hear everything you said about them in the group chat or have your husband hear everything you've said about him?
• 30:49
  Oof.
• 30:50
  I don't talk about Nick in my group chats.
• 30:52
  I don't have, like, a lot of good Nick content- But you- in group chats lately Everything I've said about Raja in a group chat, I've said to his face.
• 31:02
  Yeah.
• 31:03
  I would probably say Raja- Yeah'cause he could handle it.
• 31:05
  Oh, see, I don't think I want my kids to he- yeah, I wouldn't want my kids to hear- No what I have to say about them.
• 31:10
  No.
• 31:12
  Yeah, Nick can handle it.
• 31:14
  Would you rather have your current Google Search history projected at Thanksgiving or your Google Search history from age 21?
• 31:24
  Oh my God.
• 31:25
  I don't even know what I was googling at 21.
• 31:27
  Is this odor normal?
• 31:30
  Could I be pregnant?
• 31:31
  But I don't feel like we had our phones to, like, really- No.
• 31:39
  You know what I mean?
• 31:39
  Not at 21, actually.
• 31:41
  I feel like I would rather s- have it projected from 21, because now it's just, like, every time I think of something.
• 31:49
  You know what I mean?
• 31:49
  So it's, it would be like a journal- Mm-hmm now.
• 31:52
  And, like, then it would've been so random.
• 31:55
  So I'm gonna say from 21.
• 31:57
  Okay.
• 31:57
  What about you?
• 31:58
  Same.
• 31:59
  Okay.
• 31:59
  I would do the same.
• 32:00
  Okay.
• 32:02
  Would you rather have your child dress exactly like you did at age 16 or act exactly like you did at age 16?
• 32:13
  I hope the girls don't act like me when I was 16.
• 32:15
  I'm gonna say dress like me.
• 32:18
  Yeah.
• 32:22
  I think unfortunately for us, our daughters are going to dress and act very similar to us Would you rather, would you rather have a newborn again tomorrow or four teenagers at the same time?
• 32:33
  You're gonna kind of have a bunch of teenagers at one time, so.
• 32:36
  Yeah.
• 32:36
  I don't know if I want another newborn.
• 32:39
  No, I think I'm all set with a newborn.
• 32:41
  I think I'm gonna say four teenagers too.
• 32:43
  Yeah.
• 32:45
  Would you rather your child tell you that they're gonna have the same job as you or they wanna have the same job as your husband?
• 32:52
  Oh, as my husband.
• 32:53
  As your husband?
• 32:54
  Yeah.
• 32:54
  Okay.
• 32:55
  Well, obviously same.
• 32:58
  Obviously same.
• 32:59
  Why?
• 33:00
  Because I feel like my job is, like, it, I don't even know what it is.
• 33:05
  Like, influencers I feel like people, like, sneer at, right?
• 33:09
  Right.
• 33:10
  Podcasting, they're like,"What the actual F is that?
• 33:12
  You just talk shit about us all day." Like, Daddy's job is, like, well-respected- He has, like, a legit job.
• 33:17
  Yeah and, like, esteemed.
• 33:18
  I agree.
• 33:19
  I agree.
• 33:19
  However, my kids are like,"Ma, you got the cushiest job ever." Right.
• 33:24
  "You get to stay home-" Right in your pajamas.""Go to lunch with your friends." Like, they think my job is awesome.
• 33:30
  Okay.
• 33:30
  So- Which it is what's your answer?
• 33:32
  Your husband?
• 33:33
  Nick- Nick's job for sure.
• 33:33
  Okay, I'm gonna say mine too.
• 33:35
  Okay.
• 33:36
  Would you rather ne- oh, my God.
• 33:39
  This is awful.
• 33:41
  Would you rather never be alone in your house again or never sleep in again?
• 33:47
  Ugh.
• 33:48
  I suppose if I chose- never sleep in again, that would mean I could be alone in my house.
• 33:53
  In which ca- case, I could take a nap.
• 33:56
  Ooh.
• 33:56
  So I'm gonna choose that.
• 33:57
  I like that workaround.
• 33:59
  Right?
• 33:59
  You know what I mean?
• 34:00
  Okay.
• 34:00
  I'm gonna say I would rather never be alone in my house again.
• 34:06
  What?
• 34:07
  Yeah, I, like, long for, like, a day where I can just, like, sleep in and have a leisurely morning.
• 34:13
  That's just, like, not where I'm at right now, so- Okay the thought of never being able to do that again, it, like, keeps me going.
• 34:20
  You know what I mean?
• 34:21
  All right.
• 34:21
  Like, so that's gonna be my answer.
• 34:24
  Okay.
• 34:25
  Would you rather know everything your teenager's doing or know absolutely nothing?
• 34:31
  Unless they tell you.
• 34:32
  I'd rather know everything.
• 34:33
  Yeah?
• 34:35
  Yeah.
• 34:36
  I think I could handle it.
• 34:37
  Mm-hmm.
• 34:38
  What about you?
• 34:40
  Same.
• 34:42
  Tell me everything.
• 34:43
  Tell me all of the things.
• 34:44
  Tell me all the things.
• 34:46
  Yes.
• 34:46
  I, I need to know everything.
• 34:47
  I mean, I feel like that's a given about me.
• 34:51
  Okay.
• 34:52
  Let's end on this one.
• 34:53
  Okay.
• 34:54
  Would you rather go back and relive one day with your kids when they were little, knowing everything you know now- or jump ahead and spend one day with your family 20 years from now?
• 35:06
  That's, uh...
• 35:07
  I'm, like, at a loss.
• 35:08
  Do you know your answer?
• 35:12
  I don't know,'cause both sound fun, but I hope I get to do the, the day 20 years from now.
• 35:18
  So I think I would go back and spend- Right one day with, like, them little and squishy- Mm and know, like- you can just actually enjoy this day.
• 35:26
  Yeah.
• 35:27
  'Cause I don't remember a lot of days when they were little where I- Yeah like, fully enjoyed the day.
• 35:31
  Yeah, I think that now I would go back, I agree with you, like, I would go back especially, like, with both of them little, like, when they were- Little, little legit two under two.
• 35:41
  I was just, I was drowning, and so I would go back and I think just try to be very present in that moment.
• 35:49
  Yeah.
• 35:49
  Yeah.
• 35:50
  Oh, enjoy those little- Mm, mm-hmm squishy faces.
• 35:53
  Okay, so that was really fun.
• 35:55
  We are gonna close with our Pink Spotlight though.
• 35:59
  And our Pink Spotlight, in case you are new here, is our person, place, thing, tip, mantra of the week That's making our life a little bit better.
• 36:09
  Do you have one for us?
• 36:09
  I do.
• 36:10
  What is it?
• 36:10
  So I have a phone tip.
• 36:12
  A ph- I love your phone tips.
• 36:13
  So I feel like Christine might have shared this on our podcast- Okay'cause she was doing it.
• 36:18
  Mm-hmm.
• 36:18
  So I take the camera on my phone- Mm-hmm and I'll take a photo of, like, al- so, like, the kids are always getting, like, flyers and stuff sign up for this, do this, basketball, baseball, this, that, and the other thing, and a lot of things are, like, on paper flyers.
• 36:33
  Really?
• 36:34
  So I take photos of it- Mm-hmm and then I'll put it into Chat, and I say,"Add this onto my calendar," or,"Make me a reminder to sign up for this," or,"Do this or do that"- Great tip and it'll go onto my, it'll direct me right to a Google link- Mm-hmm for my, like, a Google Calendar invite, and it'll add it to that.
• 36:54
  So I actually, I put it to use last night because I had gotten an, a print home from Vincent's school, like, a month ago, like, m- in the first month of school that was like, sign up for ski club on October 6th.
• 37:06
  So I took a photo of it and I- Mm-hmm added a reminder and I- Mm-hmm set an alarm.
• 37:10
  Oh, smart.
• 37:11
  So at midnight I got woken up by an alarm waking me up to sign- To sign up?
• 37:15
  him up for ski club.
• 37:16
  Wow.
• 37:16
  And he got in, and I would always miss it because I would always miss it.
• 37:20
  You have to, like, be, like, one of the first ones to do it.
• 37:23
  Wow.
• 37:23
  So- Good tip.
• 37:24
  It's a great tip.
• 37:24
  I know, your phone tips have been amazing.
• 37:26
  It's a great tip.
• 37:27
  Everyone's loving them.
• 37:27
  They're going viral.
• 37:28
  You can just- You can just whip it out or- Yeah like, for instance, I got, what did I get another schedule for?
• 37:35
  Oh, I got, like, the CCD schedule on the- Right first day of CCD.
• 37:37
  Right.
• 37:37
  There was, like, 13 dates there.
• 37:40
  I took a picture of it, and I was like,"Make a Google Calendar invite for me"- Wow and it inputted them all into CCD.
• 37:46
  That is such a good tip.
• 37:47
  In there.
• 37:47
  And I have, I have to, like, give all of you moms and parents, like, a huge pat on the back because I feel like right now it is so, like, we always talk about the mental load of everything, but, like, you, there are handouts coming out and online and email and- Yeah text messages and God knows what else, like- Right apps and all this stuff.
• 38:07
  Some, some are- Like, there's so much to keep track of some overlap, some are different.
• 38:09
  Yeah.
• 38:10
  Yeah, and it's, like, yeah, some overlap.
• 38:11
  Like, you might get, like, a handout and it's on this calendar in the app, but it's, like, sometimes there's, like, one-offs of things, and it's, like, so much to keep track of.
• 38:20
  Like, you would think that having, a portal makes it easier, but it's, like, now you have to know the password for that, and are you logged in and all the...
• 38:27
  It is just so much to keep track of.
• 38:29
  Mm-hmm.
• 38:29
  It is a lot to keep track of.
• 38:30
  It's crazy.
• 38:30
  And now it's, like, online signups and stuff, so it's just, I've been in that position before where, like, you have to, like, literally be, like, woken up to sign your kid up for something- Mm-hmm and it's just ridiculous.
• 38:41
  Actually, even Vincent came into my room last night'cause he even got woken up by the alarm, and he's like,"Mom, did you do it?
• 38:47
  Did you do it?" And I'm like,"Yes, I got you a spot." Oh my God.
• 38:51
  "Go back to bed." Phew.
• 38:52
  You guys.
• 38:53
  But I understand the handouts because sometimes they want the kids to, like, see something- Yes to see if they, like, want to do it.
• 38:59
  Yes.
• 38:59
  You know, like,"Girl Scouts, do you wanna be a Girl Scout?" Right, right.
• 39:02
  "Do you wanna do basketball?
• 39:03
  Do you wanna do this?" And then there's other things that they, like, bypass the kids- Right and go right to the parents, like you know, faith formation- Yeah for their first communion.
• 39:11
  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 39:12
  They're like,"We're not asking the kids." Right.
• 39:14
  "We're going straight to the mom." But it's just so much to keep track of, so I love that tip.
• 39:17
  So, yeah, so use that tip.
• 39:18
  That's so good.
• 39:19
  Yeah.
• 39:19
  Okay, love that.
• 39:20
  What about you?
• 39:21
  Okay, mine this week is the jeans that I'm wearing.
• 39:23
  I found these on Amazon.
• 39:25
  They are, like, the sweatpants- Ooh jeans that I think Frame had them last year.
• 39:30
  Who had them?
• 39:31
  Like, one of the designers had them.
• 39:32
  It looks- And I couldn't get my hands- They look like your Mother jeans.
• 39:33
  Yes, they do, and they are, they, here, feel them.
• 39:37
  Pull on them.
• 39:39
  They are so stretchy.
• 39:41
  They literally feel, they're like a wide leg.
• 39:44
  I like your top, too.
• 39:44
  Thank you.
• 39:45
  But they feel like legit sweatpants, and so I got them in two washes.
• 39:49
  They are an Amazon find, and I feel like Amazon is very hit or miss.
• 39:53
  So when I recommend something from Amazon, it's'cause I did the work.
• 39:56
  When you are, are shopping on Amazon and you are doing the work- Mm-hmm take me behind the scenes, a little bit of the work.
• 40:00
  How do you even know where to start?
• 40:02
  So a lot of it is just, like, trial and error.
• 40:05
  And and a lot of it is once I find a brand on Amazon, and this is kind of how I am in general, like, once I find a brand that fits me or that I like the quality of I don't, like, deviate a ton from that.
• 40:18
  So there's a shoe brand called, I think it's called Cutko or Cucco or something.
• 40:24
  Oh, Cont- I thought it was Contigo.
• 40:26
  So I know what you're talking about.
• 40:27
  Yeah.
• 40:28
  I- I can't think of the name right now.
• 40:28
  And I- We'll find it for you I found a pair of shoes from there.
• 40:32
  Mm-hmm.
• 40:32
  And they were, like, an A plus, and then I ordered the next pair, and they're, like, an A plus.
• 40:36
  And so then I'm not ordering another brand.
• 40:39
  Like, that's where I get my shoes from Amazon.
• 40:41
  And those are Amazon brands?
• 40:42
  For instance- They're not, no, they're not, like, an Amazon brand.
• 40:45
  They're just a brand on Amazon.
• 40:46
  Okay.
• 40:46
  But I feel like usually once you kind of are in with something and you're like,"This is working," it's usually pretty consistent.
• 40:54
  Okay.
• 40:55
  And so this these jeans I don't know, remember exactly how I found them, but it's, a lot of it's ordering.
• 41:02
  And, like, I had ordered a couple of pairs of jeans, and, like, what I didn't like, like, went back.
• 41:06
  So it's, a lot of it's trial and error, and now I know I like this brand.
• 41:10
  And I ordered another pair in, like, a different style, and they're the same.
• 41:13
  Okay.
• 41:13
  You know what I mean?
• 41:13
  Like, it's, so it's kind of, don't recreate the wheel all the time.
• 41:17
  Like, if you find something that works, go back to that brand and see what else they have.
• 41:23
  And then share it with your friends and family.
• 41:24
  Yes.
• 41:24
  Which is that would, that's what you're doing right now.
• 41:26
  Yes.
• 41:26
  You did the Lord's work for us.
• 41:27
  I did.
• 41:27
  So I found sweatpants jeans.
• 41:28
  They're, like, under, I think they were under$70, and, like, the designer ones were, like, 2 or$300.
• 41:34
  Like- Yeah.
• 41:35
  So, but they feel just like them'cause I had tried them on.
• 41:37
  Those are really cute.
• 41:37
  I like them a lot.
• 41:37
  They're so cute.
• 41:38
  Yeah.
• 41:38
  I'm actually gonna travel in them, too.
• 41:40
  I feel, that's how comfortable they are.
• 41:41
  Overnight you're gonna travel in them?
• 41:42
  Yes.
• 41:43
  I can- No way.
• 41:44
  Yeah, because when I wake up- I'm surprised you're not gonna be- I wanna be in, You wanna be ready to go.
• 41:47
  Yes, I wanna be ready to go,'cause we have, like, a whole day planned.
• 41:50
  And then also to that effect, I found a dupe for the Aritzia Lodge pants.
• 41:54
  That took me- No way trial and error, six different orders, and I found one.
• 41:59
  On Amazon?
• 41:59
  On Amazon.
• 42:00
  So they're, I think they're under 50, and the real ones are, like, 150 or something.
• 42:05
  In the which material?
• 42:06
  In, like, that crepe material?
• 42:07
  In the crepe material.
• 42:09
  And so some of it is just- you gotta take my word for it.
• 42:12
  Like, I've ordered, I've done it.
• 42:15
  These are the ones.
• 42:16
  Oh, I can't wait to see how that outfit check.
• 42:17
  Yeah.
• 42:17
  So I'll link both of those for you guys because they're both great dupes.
• 42:21
  Well, I love a dupe.
• 42:22
  And we love that.
• 42:23
  I love a dupe.
• 42:23
  So all right, guys.
• 42:24
  All right.
• 42:25
  Thank you so, so much.
• 42:26
  We will see you guys next week.
• 42:28
  Have a great trip.
• 42:29
  Bye.
• 42:30
  Oh, my goodness.
• 42:30
  Bye.
