Either way, Cylie has already relinquished the demon and Val is doing it this afternoon. It's time to read some books, do some house projects, be a more present mother and wife. We are here for it, care to join us?

    Hey guys! We took a short break because....well life happened...but the dust has settled and we are back to chattin' it up! Today we jumped straight into talking about play dates and the etiquette that goes along with them, and sleep overs, leading to the question- how do we protect our children without over protecting our children? We then hopped on the trauma train- talking about how it has shaped and molded us for the better...and created connection with others...which left us asking- if we removed all of our traumas- who would we be?
