## Resource

It's our February catch-up episode, which means we're covering a little bit of everything — real life updates, mom chaos, and the random obsessions that are getting us through winter. Whitney kicks things off with a recap of the wild Nashville ice storm that left them without power for days. Freezing temps, no electricity, kids stuck inside, and parents doing the absolute most to keep everyone fed, warm, and entertained. The cabin fever was real, routines were gone, and survival mode was fully activated. Candace recaps Gasparilla season — the chaos, the fun, the exhaustion, and the classic post-event realization that "this was amazing" and "I need three business days to recover" can both be true. Then we get into our latest fixation: Heated Rivalry. We're recapping it, talking about why we're so obsessed, and yes… the obsession spiraled far enough that Candace signed Alice up for hockey. (Influenced by TV? Maybe. Regrets? TBD.) Candace also shares what's been weighing on her with applying to private schools — the process, the pressure, and the deeper layer underneath it all: re-evaluating why they want to go that route in the first place, and what actually feels aligned for their family versus what just sounds like the "right" move. If you're feeling maxed out, stuck in winter chaos, and using a TV obsession as a personality trait right now… welcome. You're in good company.
