Coffee Talk With The Cajun Mamas: Happy Mother's Day

Chris Logan Media Season 3 Episode 6

Send us a text

The journey of motherhood transforms us in ways nothing else can. From those first overwhelming moments holding a newborn to navigating the challenges of raising confident, respectful children, motherhood reshapes our entire existence. 

In this heartfelt Mother's Day episode, we dive deep into our personal experiences as mothers while celebrating the women who shaped us. We explore that strange mix of overwhelming attachment and uncertainty that comes with becoming a parent, when suddenly your entire identity shifts from focusing on yourself to centering completely around this tiny human who depends on you for everything.

We share candid insights about the differences between raising first and subsequent children—how those first child milestones remain crystal clear while second children often become "a blur" in our memories. Not because we love them any less, but because our attention is divided and our confidence has grown. Our conversation turns to setting boundaries and teaching respect, values that seem increasingly important in today's world. As we admit, our children aren't "perfect angels" (whose are?), but we believe in the importance of discipline and structure as expressions of love.

Some of the most touching moments come when we reflect on our own mothers and how their influence shapes our parenting. Those scripture verses and Christian radio stations that once made us roll our teenage eyes? They're now the foundation of our own parenting approaches. The saying rings true—we really do become our mothers in many ways, and that's something we've learned to embrace rather than resist.

Whether you're in the thick of motherhood, dreaming of becoming a mother, or celebrating the mother figures in your life, this episode offers comfort, wisdom, and a few laughs about the beautiful, messy reality of nurturing the next generation. Join us for this special Mother's Day conversation that honors all forms of maternal love.

Speaker 2:

Go pass a good time. Today we're talking about Mother's Day and there's just something I'm just going to say it there's nothing better than being a mama. There's just that feeling of bringing life into the world. There is nothing like it. And four of the best days of bringing life into the world. There is nothing like it, and four of the best days of my life, absolutely you know you'll never, you never forget, whether it be good or bad.

Speaker 1:

you know birthing experiences, you just, you don't ever forget that feeling of your baby. You know, and like the reality and sometimes it can be overwhelming. But a lot of times, but I mean in the beginning, you know, like as a new mama, like I can just remember holding Brynn the first time and I'm like like how, I don't know how I'm supposed to feel, like I feel like so attached, but at the, at the same time, I'm like what's happening? You know hormones are all over, like, okay, what, what next? You know what next?

Speaker 2:

and it's overwhelming at first it was like okay, how do I get out of myself? You know, because it's not me anymore, right and like. Then, after you have the baby you like, don't even exist because you like you. This is encompasses your entire life.

Speaker 1:

OK.

Speaker 2:

And then. So when I got away from Isla for the first time, I was like, I felt like I was naked.

Speaker 1:

Yes, you definitely feel like something is missing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and not naked in a proud way. Naked as in, I am without, without.

Speaker 1:

Something is missing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, something is not right, so it's just it's. It's such a special. It's such a special feeling to be a mama and um, to be able to share with y'all our journey in motherhood.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's something special because and y'all want to come along oh, I mean, we feel so blessed that y'all are down for this crazy Cajun Mamas ride with us.

Speaker 2:

Because that's where it all started. Just being funny, you know, trying to be relatable because not everything looks pretty yeah adventures in motherhood.

Speaker 1:

The good and the bad, and the ugly and the ah-ah, and the hugs and the kisses. You know all of it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but mostly discipline, mostly ah-ah. It's like we were talking about the other day. I'm like, yeah, this is what I would do, but you know, I'm kind of hard on my kids and she was like you, not you, no, but man, I want respect. You know, I demand respect and I just like, I feel like that's something we're missing a lot in this day and age where, man, I've seen it a lot where kids just walk all over their mamas and their mamas think they do no wrong and I'm just like, but they that ain't for me and I know my kids do.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know like I'm well aware of them.

Speaker 1:

Sometimes, like, like you know, they say that second kid, sometimes the stuff that comes out of her mouth, and it's so like matter of fact, and I'm like she's not meaning it to be rude, but you can't say that, like people have feelings, like if something don't look good or something's ugly or whatever, she'll just tell you and I'm like you can't say that to people?

Speaker 2:

yeah, and you want them to be honest, but you also, you know, yeah teach them.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you know.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so to say, our kids are, little you know, perfect angels negative there's no such thing okay but I guess if you've been following us for that long, you know you already know yes, all right, but yeah, so being a mom of the first I mean the first one was such an experience for me and the weird thing is like and I have two girls, one is 10 and one is seven and I remember everything about that first one and they're all so, they're almost three years apart. The second one is a blur you, you hear me A blur, and I think I partly feel robbed a little bit of that, because I'm like man, I just remember every little milestone and every little thing with my first one. But then a part of me is like you don't remember the second one, a, because you had a toddler to look after too. That's the biggest thing. But the second thing is also, you're more comfortable in motherhood, like I didn't stress over every little thing, like I did the first time we just rolled with it.

Speaker 1:

I'm like, oh, didn't take a nap, all right. Oh well, didn't do this, okay, well, didn't go to sleep, or or didn't eat this or that, oh well, like we rolled with it and I was such a more relaxed and maybe that's why they, the second ones, are like more bad because you don't stay on them on top of them maybe they got away with more, because you were just like I don't care at this point, not not necessarily that you didn't care either, just that you were occupied you know, they knew it maybe, so they know they could push, because yeah right where they got you.

Speaker 2:

I really believe that could be because they're they can kind of hide yeah.

Speaker 1:

Because you're so busy seeing about the other one that they go duck off in a corner, they go duck off and do what they want for yeah, no but, and they get in trouble.

Speaker 2:

Next thing, you know, they're playing with the toilet brush, like this morning. That's the third one. See, she stopped at two and then, like I, went ahead and had a whole nother litter, so it's like we doing that again.

Speaker 1:

Doing it over again.

Speaker 2:

But with Roz I was like that, with Isla it was just soak, it all in. Jovi was like, and I love looking back and in pictures because it was such a blur.

Speaker 1:

It's such a blur, yeah.

Speaker 2:

And then Roz came, eight years later and Roz, like I, remember everything about this.

Speaker 1:

I remember, oh my gosh I fell in love all over again with a baby. Yes, with a baby. And then brother.

Speaker 2:

You know, brother, he's along for the ride.

Speaker 1:

He's along for the ride. He's falling in line.

Speaker 2:

Yes, but it's so interesting, it goes by so fast. It does so but it's such a blessing, um, and so we're going to talk. We're going to talk about motherhood, but we also going to talk about our mamas too. So let's move on. Let's uh mention Gary Mott, our um, our, our next sponsor.

Okay, thank you, gary Mott Hardware for being our sponsor.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, gary Mott Hardware. I have to tell this story real quick, gary Mott. The name Mott okay is very well known around here. M-a-t-t-e is how you say Mott okay. But my sister one time we went to Sephora in the mall or something and she said I'm looking for the Mott Foundation. Oh yeah, she was like 20 or 25. We had never heard that any other way. Oh look, I whipped my head around and I'm like I knew it was Mott, but I mean Paul Benz, you know. She said she wanted that.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

That's too good. That was so funny, all right. So thanks for that, that's too good, all right.

Speaker 1:

Some mamas, yeah, okay, so can we also talk just a little bit about? I mean, I like to touch on the good and also the some things that, like are not talked about very much. Okay, do you want to go there? I'll go wherever you take me. Bad, okay. So motherhood and we in the I feel like we in the thick of it, like because our kids are a little bit younger, I mean our older ones are getting a little up there. We haven't hit the real teenage years yet I'm so scared of that yeah, yeah, any advice.

Speaker 1:

you know our listeners would be willing to comment. You know we'll take it at what it's worth. But those who have lived through it, you know the teenage years are coming up on us and you know, thank God we have Jesus and prayer, you know, because I just feel like, with so many girls especially, that we have that it's. It's gonna be a bumpy road and we were teenage girls we were, and I don't really want to leave those days. No so it's like I like every time my babies to go through.

Speaker 2:

No, I just wish we could fast forward through that. Yeah, you know, you a baby, give me grandbabies like it's part of you're all between that, like I don't want you to have to learn any bad lessons. The things that I had to learn the hard way, yeah it's like, as a mama, you try to shield them from those things.

Speaker 1:

But I mean, look at our I mean our mamas tried to do that for us too, and did we listen?

Speaker 2:

probably not and no and no um so you know what my mama she's still like. She's still just a part of my daily decisions. You know, um, she just did such a good job. You know, and, um, and I just never I don't like to make decisions without first consulting her. Thankfully she's here for that. Yeah, you know. But you know, I'm hoping, god willing, my mom is still going to be right there by my side when these kids get to be, because she went through it with me and my sister.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

We gave that woman 10 kinds of help, oh Lord. Okay, we gave that women, that woman, 10 kinds of hair. Oh lord and um. You know, luckily we came out on the good side of it but that's because she prayed for us, because somebody prayed somebody prayed.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh, a praying mama can move mountains. Absolutely, yeah, I got one of those too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Your mama's good you want to talk about her, my mama, my mama. So you know I've been asked before, like what is? I think maybe we had an episode on this or something Like what is a who is a spiritual, like mentor or guidance in your life? And it's my mama for me, or guidance in your life, and it's my mama for me, like I grew up here in scripture and like she and that's what I strive to be.

Speaker 1:

Like that, and I'm so thankful that my kids go to a school where they learn scripture, um cause it makes my job a little easier. Like we go over the verse of the week every week and that's in their memory and stuff. And I also want to be able to speak that over them and help them memorize scripture. Um cause that's that's how their memory and stuff, and I also want to be able to speak that over them and help them memorize scripture, because that's how you fight battles in life, you know. But anyway, I grew up hearing these things and you know you don't appreciate things until you're older. Sometimes, like you know, you just grow up feeling like your parents are out of touch with the reality and stuff and, like you know, they're just just preaching at me. They preaching at me when really they knew.

Speaker 1:

When really they knew. And then you know, I'm just going to say this mamas, if you're going through that right now and your kids are like quit, preaching at me, or just you, that's all you ever do Keep doing it. I'm telling you, keep doing it Because I, as an adult, can still remember those words and, though I might have not wanted to hear it at the time, guess what? They still. They were still there, they were still going in me.

Speaker 2:

And now, like I can recall things, it's just Something that always sticks with me is my mama used to listen to K-Love every single time.

Speaker 1:

Oh, and you hated it.

Speaker 2:

And I was like Mom. Can we please put it on 94 and a half yes. Mom, can we please? Mom, I can't stand it Like why couldn't my ears want to listen to K-Love? Why, you know, and it's like you got to start you start thinking about now. Now looking back, it's like what were you listening?

Speaker 1:

to oh, the devil, you know, the devil didn't want you to listen to that. What were you listening to?

Speaker 2:

You know, or whatever, but it's just like mama, but persistent, persistent.

Speaker 1:

And now we get in the cold, and now, that's all that's on. Oh, me too, girl, me too, I am that mama.

Speaker 2:

That's it. That's it, no-transcript. My finger to the button and I will most of the time regret my regret. It yeah, oh, lord, especially. I better be by myself, because I'm not gonna do that to my kids, correct? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

oh lord, yeah, it's whenever I knew it was time to do something, is like when Brynn was what, like five or so, and she starts singing. That's my type, that's my type, that song, and I'm like, and you know what? All the words, I know what they mean, but she don't know what that means. And and I'm looking in the back and I'm like, okay, time to, it's time to stop, yeah. So yeah, thankfully, I mean they still at the age where they not they're not hating the k love right now, and I pray to god they never do.

Speaker 2:

But those you know mine listen to it too, and they like it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so I mean so, mamas keep doing it, because even if they don't appreciate it now I'm living proof of that, like it's still getting in there. You know God's mercy Thank.

Speaker 2:

God for his mercy. Thank God, yes.

Speaker 1:

And, yeah, it does make a difference. You know, even if it's not right now, later in life they will. They're going to want their kids to listen to that. You end up turning into your parents. Do you realize that? Absolutely, you end up turning into your mama. Oh, 100%, 100%.

Speaker 2:

I am my mom for sure, we do lots of things together. I mirror a lot of my mama and I'm all right with that. I'm okay with that. Yep, all right, let's talk about BU Salon. That's my salon of choice.

Speaker 1:

That's your salon.

Speaker 2:

You go there. Their mission is to cultivate a warm and welcoming environment where every client feels valued and pampered and do I ever?

Speaker 1:

Do you ever when?

Speaker 2:

you go home Over, where every client feels valued and pampered, and do I ever? Do you ever, when you go home Over there?

Speaker 1:

The smell alone keeps me going back Because they are a beta salon. It smells like a spa a bit.

Speaker 2:

So they got blowouts and treatments, bridal and special occasion updos they run it all over there and you can get products over there. They're going to help you.

Speaker 2:

So if you're looking for a place to go that is consistent and, uh, consistency is key yeah, because and even you know there's what like five or six girls there.

Speaker 1:

If you can't get your girl and you you put to somebody else, then it makes you nervous, but you don't have to be. And you put to somebody else, then it makes you nervous, but you don't have to be nervous over there.

Speaker 2:

I've never been disappointed and that has happened Because you know, I used to go to Shelby and then Shelby had babies, and then now I go to Hannah. But you know, like if I can't get Hannah, there's no doubt.

Speaker 2:

Everybody's got me over there. They always make me feel special. So you can book online at busalonlacom and you can find them on social media at busalonla. They're off Gloria's Sweet Road, sweet C, in Lafayette, louisiana. Yes, all right. So, mamas, if you are out there, okay, and you in the thick of it, okay, and you feeling like when is this ever going to like, when is it ever going to let up, I'm going to. I'm here to tell you that that's going to be never, because you know like I'm serious, think about it, ok. When's it going to let up? You always worried about you, never stop.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and my mama will tell me that too, like when now my, now my mom and daddy live next door to me. But there's still days. I go days without seeing them, sometimes just because life is so busy, and then I feel guilty and I'm like dang, I couldn't stop for five minutes to go see my mama. But she don't push it. She knows I'm busy or whatever, but what was I going with that? What did you?

Speaker 2:

say first Nothing ever lets up. You never stop worrying about oh, yeah, yeah, and she.

Speaker 1:

So she will tell me like she'll check in on me or whatever, and anytime I have something to do or go somewhere, be safe, be safe, my love be safe. Or you know, and she's, she's like you can't turn that off. It never stops.

Speaker 2:

You're always gonna worry about your babies, you know, yeah and just like they do stuff for us, your parents do stuff for you, thinking about you. You know like she carefully and tediously rolls up all that packing paper so that we can have that packing paper for our little shop you know, and I just think what a labor of love that is. You know, even that small gesture.

Speaker 1:

But to me.

Speaker 2:

I'm like God, that must take forever. But you know like that you always thinking about how can I make this easier for my baby. I can't imagine ever not thinking like that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know about my kids too.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, like once you become a mama, it's never about you anymore. No, Like once you become a mama, it's never about you anymore, Like it's. That's why it's so easy for us to get lost in it and lose you could say, lose your identity, lose yourself, whatever, say what you want, but it's so easy to get caught up in everyone else and everything else around you because everyone depends on you, Like you're the center. The mama is the heart. You know.

Speaker 2:

You're the center.

Speaker 1:

The mama is the heart of the home. It can be a burden, sometimes feel like a weight on your shoulders, but it's also what a blessing. You're the center, you make things run smoothly and you have the gift of being the mama.

Speaker 2:

But then it also makes me think and think about those dads who are moms too. You know, whatever the situation is, you being mama and daddy.

Speaker 1:

My brother called himself a fommy. He was a father, mommy. He said yeah, I'm a fommy.

Speaker 2:

And you know that's big, that's a lot. So just know, if you are that Fahmy, you know we pray for you.

Speaker 1:

Happy Fahmy's Day. Happy Fahmy's Day.

Speaker 2:

Because you special and you the heart of your family too. Or maybe you know you grandma or aunt or somebody whoever is taking care of these little.

Speaker 1:

Who's ever mama yeah, mama, or biological or not. You know there's some women that don't have their own babies but they love so hard so hard for other, for other kids, and you know it's just yeah.

Speaker 2:

Just for all of those situations, um just feel loved by your heavenly father and and celebrate in this day, however, you can Right and whatever feels comfortable to you, but know that your father loves you because you are his child.

Speaker 1:

That's it.

Speaker 2:

You are. All right With that. Let's talk about Gary.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Sometimes you're like, yes, I'm rocking this day, and then the next day you're like, why do I suck so bad at being a mom?

Speaker 1:

That is the roller coaster. It is of being a mom. Why can't I?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Try to go somewhere. Plan that mom guilt. Yeah, big time. Anytime you try to do something for yourself party.

Speaker 2:

I don't even feel guilty anymore. I'm just like I'm not that type of mom. I'm sorry you got the wrong one, but you know, like it's just, I don't know, like I feel like there's no comparison, no one's like you and no one's gonna be like you, and in the long run your kids are gonna look back and they're not gonna have anything to compare you to yeah, I mean you their mama, that's it, yeah just be, you know, be kind, be loving, be know, just cherish your children.

Speaker 2:

That was something that we went to, I don't know some kind of teaching in service, and they were like make sure your children feel cherished. And I'm like how many kids go to school every day having no idea what that even feels like?

Speaker 1:

and I like cherish my children so much yeah, yeah, you know, that's a thing to grow up, yeah, feeling not wanted or not seen or not. Yeah, cherished, cherish your children yeah, that's such a and cherish your mother have cherish your mother.

Speaker 1:

Have cherish your mother and cherish your mother and sometimes you know you know, I mean, what's the uh that? That's a pretty big commandment, you know yeah, honor your mother and you know and being just real life for a moment not every parent has a good relationship with their kids or vice versa. That's so true unfortunately. Yeah, but you know the Bible says to honor them no matter what, and that's hard sometimes.

Speaker 2:

That's super hard sometimes Because, even as grown people you like think you know everything but you don't know.

Speaker 1:

No, yeah, and I mean we make mistakes. You know there are. You know, no, yeah, and I mean we make mistakes. You know there are. You know people out there that have made mistakes. I know that they wish they could change, or um, or some people are just stubborn and it's just, that's how it is. But you have to. You just do your part, you know, to honor them the best way that you can, and pray, you know. Pray about that, cause only God knows the situation and your heart.

Speaker 1:

But if your heart is to honor your parents, no matter what, then that you know it's in the right place.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and do your best with that.

Speaker 1:
