We debate the absolutely insane cost of toddler birthday parties and try to figure out what’s actually reasonable to spend in this economy… because between groceries, inflation, and Pinterest-worthy parties, parenting is getting EXPENSIVE. We each put a dollar amount on much we think a kid's birthday party should cost. Then we get into the “sleep divorce” conversation because Hallie might be getting one — should couples sleep in separate rooms if one partner snores?! We also spiral into a full-blown nostalgic 90s crush conversation after hearing about Hilary Duff’s childhood crush on Jonathan Taylor Thomas. Katie and Hallie reveal the heartthrobs that completely defined their childhoods — Joshua Jackson, Hanson, Ryan Phillippe, Scott Speedman, Eric Von Detten, Devon Sawa and more. Plus, they share personal stories and interactions they've had with some of these men that you won't here anywhere else. Plus: • Our thoughts on Netflix’s The Crash: Are Madeline’s parents also partly responsible? • The REAL mom triggers pushing us over the edge lately: Whining, fighting siblings, bedtime battles, overstimulation and never having enough time to get anything done... we are sharing our personal motherhood moments that make us want to cry. If you’re a millennial mom trying to survive parenting, marriage, nostalgia, and the economy all at once… this episode is for you.
