Boss Mom

It's been a while since I put up a new Country Mom podcast. In today's podcast, we talk about the growing twins who had to be hospitalized twice in the past couple of months. We also spill in the beans on our huge announcement we have been wanting to share!

As a preemie mama, this story touched my heart!

On another day of the Country Mom podcast, we have some news to share. We are also have other HUGE news we will be telling you, but I don't want to let that "cat out of the bag" just yet.

Courtney Cotharn-Lambert from Courtney Cotharn Concepts joins me to talk about an event you will not want to miss out on if you are a mom, mom-to-be or maybe you are starting to think about planning a family. I WISH this event existed when I was expecting my first baby.

We spill the tea (yes, I know.... sipping the tea) about what parents do. They spend almost as much time doing THIS as they do with their kids. Now, let's spill it! Grab the napkins.

The Duchess of Sussex grew emotional when talking about being "really vulnerable" to intense media scrutiny during her pregnancy and now as a mother. In another episode of the Country Mom podcast, we talk about how everyone asks how the baby is, but no one asks how mom is.

In today's podcast, the Country Mom podcast teams up with Amy from Mommy's on the Podcast! Amy joins me to talk about everything Halloween, life, wine and old wives tales! Lots of laughs and jokes flew everywhere today.

Something that is becoming more common: women have become a lot more involved when it comes to choosing their engagement rings, and now many are offering to help pay for the ring they want. I didn't pay for my engagement ring, but I pulled out the stops on my own proposal... in a parking garage. YEP, it's wild. We're talking about that on the Country Mom podcast.

On another day of the Country Mom Podcast, a bunch of people on social media say an Oklahoma mom went too far by dressing her kids as flesh-eating zombies for a gory holiday photo shoot last week. People are losing their minds on social media. We're chatting about it!

On another day of the Country Mom Podcast, my husband joins me on the mic to talk about some BIG steps our toddler has been making, we update about how the twins are doing, and I open up about a personal subject that I dealt with in a previous relationship of mine that Jana Kramer is currently dealing with. We get DEEP in this podcast.

Six-thousand pink pumpkins arrived overnight in a pop-up pumpkin patch at Baton Rouge General as part of the hospital’s breast cancer awareness campaign promoting annual mammograms for women 40 and over. This event hits close to home for me because my mother is a breast cancer survivor.

In this week's episode of the Country Mom podcast, we talk about what's new with our family. We are STILL sick. That's the downside of having all of the kids in daycare; we are always sick. We also talk about how are kids will not match at all this Halloween nor will be follow a theme #MomFail. We also talk about the Smiths. The question was asked if Granger and his wife Amber will have anymore children after River's passing. We talk about that uncomfortable topic on this week's podcast.

One country mom (who we always talk about) opened up to me when I met her and said she too has things she is insecure about. We also talk about a story that has hit the internet where a husband told his wife, you either breastfeed or go back to work. YIKES! On the topic of breastfeeding, my grandmother scared my father when I sent him somewhere to do this... tune in to find out everything we talk about on this week's Country Mom podcast!

On this week's episode of the Country Mom podcast, MJ, my husband and I talk about what one husband did that we think is grounds for divorce (not seriously, of course). We also talked about what one mom had to go through after leaving a hospital. We also talk about just how hard it is to get in shape and recovery mentally & physically after giving birth. One country mom, Brittany Aldean is learning about that all to well!

On this week of the Country Mom Podcast, as we remember 18 years later - 9/11, my husband shares his story. He was late getting to work delivering bonds to the World Trade Center that morning. My husband almost wasn't my husband. We also talk about more baby news in the country world: Brantley Gilbert has a new bundle of joy! Let's catch up on another week of the Country Mom Podcast.

On last week's episode of the Country Mom Podcast, my husband and I were anticipating a big day. What did we decide to do?!

It's also 'okay' to say the newborn/infant phase plain sucks. The kiddos are cute, but the never sleeping/screaming part is hard. We talk about it all in this week's Country Mom podcast. We were back at the emergency room for the 3rd time in the past month. We also talk about how once the kids do grow up, we will miss this season, it's just hard now. Also, we talk about America's favorite chore..... favorite chore? Sounds brutal! Tune in to this week's Country Mom Podcast.

Our world got a little wild this past weekend with two emergency room trips. My husband and I also talk about how one country star is about to go from a family of two to three, and how hard the transition can be for not only the littles but for the parents!

Last week on the Country Mom podcast with me, Brittany, I forgot to tell my parents about a HUGE life event with the twins. We even had to go back to the NICU which raised my anxiety. It's true what they say about NICU PTSD. In this season of busy mom, busy wife & busy life, I reflect on how these country moms do it all like Carrie Underwood. How does she REALLY do it all and look that good?

In this week's episode of the Country Mom podcast, my husband joins me again on the mic to re-cap our toddler's birthday party which went better than expected corralling older and younger kids. We have a new voice who will be joining us on the mic, MJ, who is mom to older kids. She talks about the season that all parents are ready for, but it's no joke it is stressful: back-to-school season.

Last week on the Country Mom podcast, a special someone in our babies' lives finally came home, and we were juggling all last week to plan a big event, our toddler's two-year-old birthday party. No one ever tells you how stressful planning birthday parties are.

Last week on the Country Mom podcast, I was officially back at work from maternity leave. We also are talking about how our lives went from 5 mph to 100 with juggling work, swimming lessons, doctor's appts, tongue-ties and more! Mamas, you can relate.

and it's SLEEP! We are so very happy to our have our boys home finally (one at the end of April & one in May). Yes, it's been a while since we did a podcast! We have major updates about the twins, and my podcast even has a new name, Country Mom!

In this week's episode of the Boss Mom podcast, my husband and I talk about our latest NICU update which is something we weren't expecting along with a viral story about one what dad-to-be is asking from his friends & family.

This week in the Boss Mom Podcast, we talk about Carrie Underwood's boss mom moment recently, my husband and I share our NICU update and we talk about how parents freak out when rain comes into the area.

Last week on the Boss Mom podcast, my husband joins me again to talk about BIG changes in our NICU journey along with me starting to slowly work out again and another topic that moms can relate to, breastfeeding!

Joe Nichols called in this morning (4/5/19) to talk about what we can expect at his show at the Texas Club and also about how he tells his story through his songs.

In another episode of the 'Boss Mom' podcast, my husband joins me again to talk about our NICU journey so far. As you may already know, the twins are here (born 3/2/19), but this week they accomplished something big! This step that they achieved is a part of being one step closer to coming home.

Our St. Jude Radiothon was last week. You may have heard Madelyn's story on the air. Madelyn lost her brother to Hodgkin's lymphoma almost five years ago. Before he passed away, Madelyn and her family got to spend 18 months with him at St. Jude's Research Hospital in Memphis. Madelyn's story will leave you at a loss for words.

This week on the boss mom podcast: Since having a child, we are always sick. My husband rarely gets sick but stays sick now. Our son, Colston, went on a field trip with his daycare and my husband noticed a trend all of the parents were doing. Mom tips are needed as well! Our boy is now 18-months-old and still says "dada", and that's about it. Tips on how to get our little guy to chatter words more?

My husband has been recently picking up our boy and swinging him. Bad thing is, he doesn't want dada to stop. Another thing our boy has picked over the past couple of months is spitting his milk out. He will spit it out then play in it. If you have a mom hack for this one, we'd love to hear it!

In this week's podcast, my husband joins me for another podcast which we have renamed 'Boss Mom' because like many of you, I am juggling work, motherhood and being a wife. How do I do it all? Like you do! I just do it. --- Since the last podcast, we had unexpected news take place around the holidays, we lost Scott's mother (my baby boy's grandmother). We discuss how we are getting through it and how we are getting through the new year.
