Hello, mothers. I'm Emily and I'm Ellie. And this is Mama Needs a Minute. And Mama sure does this weekend. Happy Mother's Day. Look, I'm seeing your notes. Quiz. Don't look at my notes. I see she wants to talk about my garden party. Emily's garden party. Question mark. Yeah, but you haven't had you technically have had it now, but we haven't. Because we record, so people do ask me about this. So Ellie and I, we don't live close and we're busy. We're mommies. We're working mommies. Yes. And so we record two at a time. Yes. And we take turns going to each other's house. So basically we we each go to each other's house once a month. So sometimes we're talking about stuff in future tense because it hasn't happened yet for us, but it's happened then for you. Right. So by the time this one is playing, yes, I had a garden party. Yeah. Tell us, walk us through what a garden party is. So I had this idea to have a garden party with all my girlies. Um, old, new, borrowed, blue. Um, I was like, you know what? Literally, I want to do a spring party where we get to look cute and drink wine and chat with the girls, and there's flowers and fun music on, and the vibes are good. Yeah. So that's what I did. So I love a party. Yes. You and I do love a theme. Yes. So I had Chat GPT write an invitation, like it was written by Lady Whistledown from Bridgerton. From Bridgerton. So it's like, dearest gentle reader. And chat delivered. No, they really did. It was so cute. Yeah. Um, I just thought that'd be a fun way to like put this information out there. Yeah. So heavy appetizers, desserts, a girl there doing permanent jewelry. Interesting. Yes. It's supposed to be chili. Yeah. I ordered a shawl. Yeah, good idea. I thought it would be like a cute vibe. Yeah, because it's gonna be chili. So, uh, but that's okay. And what are we doing? We're doing great. Eat and drink and I thought we were doing flower crowns. Oh, not crowns. Because that looked a little too work-intensive. It's a like make your own bouquet. So I got little glass spaces for everybody to do that. Oh, I love it. It's cute. And I think the vibes are gonna be good. They are, and the music is gonna be good. Yeah. We're gonna do instrumentals. I mean, I'm doing the Bridgerton soundtrack. So, like nods to Bridgerton, because everybody loves Bridgerton. Yeah. But it's not like a Bridgerton theme. Like, we're not dressing like we're from Bridgerton. Yeah. I have had a few people ask me that. I'm like, oh no. Shit. Oh my god, I'm glad you clarified. What if I what if somebody shows up and I didn't clarify? Didn't have a backup dress in your closet. Yeah, it's okay. They're just if I had all the money in the world, I would throw like the biggest like Gatsby party and it would be Bridgerton themed. Like everybody would have to come dress in those like poofy dresses. Mainly I just want an excuse to wear that, but that would be the best party ever. Yeah.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00Because I love Bridgerton vibes. Yes, it's Bridgerton vibes. And I think that more, this is a good tip for people. More people need to plan parties without a reason to. Like we have one life. Yes. Just if you want to throw a party. People are like, well, I want to have this kind of party, but it's not my birthday or anything. Why does it matter? But I had a friend who was like, I love the whimsy of this. She was like, there's literally no reason. And I love that we're doing this because we need more whimsy. We do need more whimsy in our life. So true. It is whimsy. It's whimsiful. People get so caught up in like your nine to five life. So you kind of forget that like you have free will. If you want to have a garden party, have a fucking garden party. It doesn't matter. So I'm so happy we're doing this. Me too. It's fun. What else is on your nose? Well, you know, I wanted to say that my kids are in sports right now and it's gonna be the end of me. It is so I mean, they are three and six, almost six. The amount of like work it goes into these sports sometimes. I'm like, they're three and they're six. It's not that deep, but it feels like it so I'm just like so busy lately with all these. Mila's in soccer, Julian's in baseball, but it feels like so intense. No, I'm I truly mean Caleb's is not serious. Like, let me run you through our practice last night, okay? Coach, don't know where he was. No one knows if he was even there or not. He's okay. I don't know. Maybe we should check on him. Yeah. Uh Caleb has never kicked a soccer ball at these practices. I don't even think he's he's barely been out on the grass. He usually goes and plays on the playground. Kids and siblings are just running on and off the field. No, it's just for the vibes. It's a social event for our neighborhood more than anything. That's what I would love. And I feel bad because literally Julian's in a baseball team with I think the age group is like five to seven or five to eight. And I swear some of these kids are like getting extra training at home. I mean, they are like all stars on this team. And then, like, my poor little baby, this is like second year. This is just for funsies. Like, nobody's getting a scholarship. Literally. And it feels like I'm like, oh my God, do I need to start working with him like three nights a week on his baseball hitting? I've just been feeling very overwhelmed lately with the the amount of like all-stars I'm seeing lately. And I was like looking it up or something for I forget what I was looking it up for. I was probably Googling like, what the fuck? And I saw Kim Kardashian is producing a new show. And it's gonna be similar vibes to like Dance Moms. Have you ever seen Dance Moms? Yeah. That's how I feel sometimes at these games. But she's executive producing a show called Team Moms, a new unscripted reality series for Paramount Plus that focuses on the high-stakes world of competitive youth baseball. Kim? Yeah. She freaking what's her son's name? Palm probably got put into baseball and she was like, what the hell is going on with these parents? This is a weird thing for her to do. I don't know. But it because I think it's such a common thing. The pressure that like I feel with my five-year-old right now, like, oh my gosh, like he's the only one that's like acting like a normal five-year-old on the team and like hitting the ball sometimes. All these other kids are like all-stars. I'm so confused. It's very stressful for a mom who wants to just do a laissez-faire little yeah T-ball situation. Yeah. We have not entered that because Nora is um, she's a shovel step girl. She's like, I'm doing a group sport. Yeah. I even asked her, I was like, oh, well, I think in like first grade um at school, they have like a volleyball team or something. She's like, absolutely not. I'm like, honestly, same. Yeah. Like group sports to me sounds like my own personal hell, but she loves her dance class. Yeah. And it's that's easy. Yeah. So yours isn't like dance mom's? No. It's not that kind of vibe. No, no, no, no, no. And Caleb's soccer team. Here, here's another example. Her jerseys are green. Uh, one little girl apparently didn't want to wear that green jersey, and she showed up to game day in a Tinkerbell dress. And I think her mom was like close enough. She was wearing her shin guards. Another little girl forgot her soccer shoes, and I think she came straight from church. So she was in her uniform and her black clicky shoes. Oh. For the game. For the game. That's the vibe that we need to get brought over to my town. Because but I don't know. Maybe it's different when they're five and six. These are three and four-year-olds. Yeah, that's true. So it's like baptizing cats. They're just like out there and you're like, yay! You don't know what they're doing. Yeah. Um, no, it gets competitive, even at a young age. And I didn't realize that. Now I'm kind of realizing that in this world of like motherhood. But my husband and I grew up in a really small town. Basically, whatever you wanted to do, there was a spot on the team for you. Like you literally could be the worst player ever. There's a spot on the team for you. There's not that many kids in the class. And I truly loved it. I got to do anything I wanted to do, even if I sucked at it. Um, and that's not the case with a lot of these bigger schools. And now that we live in like a bigger city, I'm finding out that it is very competitive. And I think that's kind of crazy. Like they're young. And sports to me, I know you don't play sports, but I did. And it brought a lot of like friendships and teamwork, and I learned communication skills. You learn much more than just the sport itself within when you're like in a team like that. By the way, I did play tennis. I just want to note that. Uh while you were sitting on your ass circling, circling back, I did play tennis and um I was hitting balls. I was pretty good at the nets. Okay, well, then you get it. Yeah. It brings you, it gives you so much more. I really hope my kids continue to do some kind of team, whether it's sports or like a club of some sort when they're older. That's why I've started it now, because I'm like just hoping that they'll continue that, because it brings on so much more than just sports, and I truly feel that way. But the competitiveness that I'm learning about, I I'm new to this world and it is crazy. In the politics. In the politics. I haven't quite noticed that yet. Yeah. Um, but I do, I have heard that from like my moms who have older kids, how political it can get well, and some people get so crazy about travel sports. And my husband and I have talked about it, and I'm like, I'm not doing it. No. Because you pour all this money in in hopes that they'll get a full ride scholarship, but it's like, how much did you put in? Right. You could have just said put it in their 529 and literally the day, yeah. Yeah. And you just that's every weekend, and it's your whole life. Yeah. Um, I'm not doing that. Do you see Caleb being like a sporty guy? He seems to really enjoy picking a ball up and throwing it like a basketball. Okay. So I don't think soccer is for him. But I'm like, you know what? He he got exposed to something new. We tried it. You're not gonna know. That's why you do it all when they're young, and then they will hone in on it. Yeah. Yeah. Like Nora, we knew from the jump she won for her, not for her. Now, this is an unpopular opinion, maybe controversial, maybe. Um, but there is one sport I will not allow my kids to do when they're older. Say it on three. Okay. One, two, three. Football. Yeah. As a nurse, I just cannot do it. Now, Julian's friends love football. And my dad loves football, his uncle loves football. He's kind of around football, not for me, and surely not for my husband. My husband watches the Spanish version of football, which is soccer, football, football. Why are we German? Football, but football. But so he's been very interested in football. And I think one of my neighbors had said there's like a flag football for little kids. I'd be open to that. But the full tackle football, no, no, no, no, no. Um pick anything else. That's just my my personal opinion. That will I don't need CTEs in high school. Also, like the toxic masculinity of it all. Like when they score a touchdown and they're like, they like feel running into each other. I'm like, the fuck are they doing? Like, can you imagine if in like real life that's how we like celebrated a win? Yeah. Like Can you imagine if a woman, a woman, did that? Can you imagine? They'd be like, oh my god, she's so full of herself. Like, what if I came out of a room and I'm like, I got the IV on the first try and you guys just started chest bumping me? I'd be insane. We just started slapping her fist. Like, what is that? I hate it. I actually hate football. You do? Yeah. I've been a long time. We we aren't doing that. I don't mind watching it. I don't really know what's going on, but I like the Super Bowl vibes, you know, because we love a party. We love a theme. Yeah, again, we love a theme. Uh, but yeah, I'm not into it. But that's my that's my number one, like, do anything else. Yeah. You know, I would like if they wanted to do like a lifelong sport, like tennis or swimming, like, you know, something that you would could do in adulthood too. We just um, for the first time, Noe and I, we went to our friend's house last weekend, um, and she has a pickleball court in her neighborhood, and we all played pickleball while the kids like like rode bikes on the other side of the court. Oh my god, I've never played before. It was so fun. Yeah. And Noah's like, this will be my new personality. It um was really fun. I've never played tennis. I've never played, I mean, I played ping pong and I played wee sports. Yeah, we. Yeah, we tennis. Yeah, we tennis. That was fun. But pickleball was fun. It was just the right amount of like exercise for me where I didn't feel like I was running on this huge tennis court and just enough rules to where I didn't feel like it was overwhelming to learn. Yeah. Have you ever played? No, and I bet I would love it because I liked tennis. Yeah, you would love it. Should we pickleball together and we wear shirts and we're like walking advertisements for our body? Yeah. Mama needs a pickle. That could be taken so many ways. It literally could. I can't say mama needs a pickle. That's that's mama needs two pickle. No, no, mama doesn't need a pickle. We're good. Yeah, mama needs a pickle, and then in parentheses, ball, ball. Yeah. Um, also, I was a theater kid, so I like the idea of that too. I love the idea of that. I I had a lot of fun doing that. I wish I could be, I was I couldn't be a theater kid, although that's very on par for me, and I would have rocked it a hundred thousand percent um because it it co-aligned with um my dance schedule. I had a pick. Yeah. And so I chose dance. But I frequently wish there was like an adult theater club that I could like join and like be in a play as like an adult. Can you imagine like my kids going and like watching mommy? They're gonna think I'm on Broadway, but I'm really just like are you local theater? Yeah. Wouldn't that be fun? That would be fun. Maybe I should. I'm sure there is something like that. Maybe I will get into that. This will be your new hyperfixes. I was just about to say. Don't ask me about this one. I haven't committed to it yet. It was just an idea. Maybe we should tick off a few other things off that to-do list first. Like, yeah, my stockings, my guitar, learning Spanish. I'm really behind on all these hobbies. Because I've been reading too many audiobooks, like I said in last week in my free time. Well, what's next? Do you have a favorite Mother's Day memory you want to share? Oh, that's it. We're getting into Well, what else do you want to talk about? Do you have anything to say? Yeah, I did have something to say. And that's um that summer is coming up so fast, so I'm so excited. Oh my god, I know. But but guess what I said to Nora today? I was like, you know what? Summer is so soon, she's so excited, and she she doesn't do like summer day camps or anything, and she is thrilled about that because some of her friends are. She wants a break. She's I was like, Do you want to do like a half day week-long summer camp thing? She's like, Absolutely not. She's like, summer is for playing. And I'm like, honestly, it is. It is for a relax. I don't want to have a big to-do. I want just to wake up and go with the vibes. Yes, yeah. And we're spoiled that we can do that. I mean, like, you know, people who work five days a week can't, you know, do that. So we're very lucky in that way. So I was telling her, I said we should make a summer bucket list. Yeah. And I was like, and then when we do it, we can tick it off. And I was thinking, like, have a campfire, do an outdoor movie night, like stuff like that. And she's like, good idea. Go to Disney World. And I was like, she was like, and also go to Florida to go to the beach because she thinks those are two separate things. And I was like, Yeah, okay. Um, no, we're not scaling back, babe. Scale her back. Maybe we could go see a movie at the movie theater, like something like that. Um that's such a good idea that I want to do that. Yeah. And it can just be little things. Um, I've seen people do it on that like brown paper and tack it up like a big piece of brown like poster paper and tack it up in their like living room or whatever for the summer. It could never be in my living room. Oh my god. The side of the fridge, maybe. Yeah, the side of the fridge. Yeah, sure. Yeah. The living room. No. That would drive me nuts. You know me. Yeah. That would be crazy. It could go in my living room. I'm okay with that. Not my living room. But that would be fun. So, like, my kids can't read, so it would kind of just be more for me and then for them to like look at but not understand. But they'd probably ask me to read it 5,000 times. Yeah. Fine. That's fun. I like that idea. I I think I would make her like write it to like practice it and that she may think that's more fun. Well, it's Mother's Day weekend, so we're gonna read your guys' um Mother's Day stories for your best or worst Mother's Day. I'm really hoping there's a good one and not a bad one in there. If there's a bad one, I hope their husbands listen. So, what do you like to get for Mother's Day? Because mine better be homemade. I actually had the best Mother's Day last year. Let me tell you about it. Okay. We went out to breakfast. One thing about me, I love going out to breakfast. And I don't ever get to do it. Yes, we never do it. We never do it because I mean, you just don't have the time. My husband works a nine to five. Yeah. And it's just hard to get to breakfast sometimes. But I love breakfast. I love going out to breakfast. I'm always getting something sweet. Yes. Maybe something savory, but then something sweet for the table. And I say table in like parentheses to just kind of make myself feel better about getting the pancakes and the omelet. Um we went to this place, I can't remember what it's called, but it's in Indie, the indie area. And they do mimosa flights. And so we went there and got mimosa flights. It was so good. And they had, I think it was like either like blueberry lemon pancakes along those lines. And it was so delicious. So we did that. And then if you're familiar with the Indianapolis area, we have a canal downtown. Oh, yeah. And on the canal, they have these little swan boats that you peddle. Yeah, we've been on one, the paddle boats. And I've always wanted to do it. And my husband booked us like tickets or whatever to go and do that. And so me and the kids, and they loved it too, by the way, went and you just paddle like down the canal and back. And I think you can do like a shortened track or like a longer track. And then, yeah, my husband made a bunch of crafts. I do love a craft. You love a craft? I love a homemade gift, especially for Mother's Day. My homemade craft can come with a Dyson Air wrap, but I love a craft. Noe made me last year these like footprints with like dried flowers of the kids. And he also made me like a little tray with their hand prints. And he made me like a little handprint frame. He used a lot of clay last year. Because these gifts look really good. Like, how did he even do those footprints? He's artsy. Definitely knows what he's doing in the craft world. And Marco does not love Marco. But last year, um, he they did like flower handprint flowers. So they just did like handprints and then put stems on them, but they were just blobs. Well, you know, it's the thoughts that count. Yeah. And I love even just like a little picture. Sometimes that's cute too. Yes. I'll keep it. Yeah. Um so I love a homemade gift on Mother's Day. Yeah. I'd prefer that over something extravagant. Yeah. But also add something extravagant, I'd be happy to. Yes, that's true. Yeah. So we're going to do the same thing that we did last year on Mother's Day, which was so lovely. We ended up at this place in Indy um called Rick's. And it's like outdoor seating and stuff. And it was one of the only places that had a brunch reservation left. And we went there and I was like, I don't know what to expect. Um, but it will have fun. And it was so fun. Vibes were so good. And so now we're like, now we're gonna do this annually. So we did that with my parents last year. You said it was outdoor. Yes. I love an outdoor meeting or an outdoor brunch. Yes. It was so good. Um, so we're doing that again this year. And then I got my mom such a nana gift. It's a hand-soaped dispenser, and it's magnetic, and it came with all different holiday magnets. You can stick onto the front of it. Yes. Cute. She'll love it. She decorates for every holiday. Yes. And she won't know about this because she doesn't listen to this fucking podcast. So I can say whatever I want on here, and my mom will never know. So, yes, so that's what I got her. And then I'll have the kids make a little craft too. Yeah. Yeah. Does your mom have a porch goose? Yeah. Yeah, I love. I just knew she had a porch goose. It has a raincoat on right now. And she's like, oh my gosh, I have to get out its little mayo. You know, my sister texted me the other day and said, Hey May. Yep. That Sunday, Mother's Day Sunday, is free fishing day. If you don't know what free fishing day is, no, what's free fishing day? Free fishing day. In Indiana, I don't know if it's every state, but in Indiana, you have to have a fishing license. I think it's like $20 or something like that. And you can fish. If not, then you're not supposed to fish in public waters, technically. Okay, this is brand new information. Yes. A conservation officer will pull you over and ask you to whip out your license. I've never fished before in my life. What? Never. Well, my dad was an outdoorsy guy. So I was a I was a fishy girl. Now I'm not putting the worm on my hook and I'm not throwing the fish back in, but I'm fishing. I like to fish. I don't think I would enjoy it. I like the vibes. We just went fishing last week, actually. But now on Mother's Day, I'm fishing. And my sister texts me and said, It's free fishing day, Mother's Day. Should we all go fishing? No. Absolutely not, Cameron. What a ridiculous ask. Yeah, that's so stupid. What a ridiculous thing to say. I don't think I would fish on any day, much less Mother's Day. I think you would maybe enjoy the piece more than you think. Do you throw the fish back in? Yeah, we did. That's good. When I was growing up, we didn't. I remember going camping a lot and we would eat it. We would catch the fish on any. What if you caught like Nemo's mom on Mother's Day? On fucking Mother's Day. What a dick move that is. You better throw her back in. It's actually almost the premise of Nemo, finding Nemo. Also, it's always a bad day to be a fish, honestly, because like you get caught, even if you get thrown back in, the trauma. Yeah. Like I just all I was trying to do was eat that worm. Next, he's like talking to his buddies. He's like, one second, I was gnawing on worm. Next second, hooking my mouth, whirling through the air, thrown on lane. No, thank you. Unhooked, taken a picture of. They took my picture. Did they ask? No. And then they threw me back in. Bases all over the internet. Yeah. You know what I actually hate every year? Is like during hunting season when people take pictures with their deer and they're dead. And it's like, ugh, conch. I literally hate it. Yeah. And I saw this thing one time that was like, what if like they're like, whatever happened to Marv? And then the deer see him and they're like, shit, there he is. So ridiculous. He's on the news. Biggest bug of the year. Okay, we're definitely not fishing. No, no, no. But I like a cozy Mother's Day. Yeah. We're going cozy this year. Yeah. Did we tell yours? Oh, yeah, we just did. Yeah. Then we got into it. Okay, let's read yours. We only have two. So this is your reminder to write in your stories, everybody. So we have fun stuff to talk about with you. Don't be lazy. Now, if you didn't have a good Mother's Day, give me your husband's phone numbers. Also next year we'll have some good stories. We need to reiterate, we truly have no idea. Truly so anonymous. There is no way I would know who you are. So if you had a really bad story, you're like, I can never tell anybody this, but you want to get it out like a diary entry, we will truly, truly never know who you are. You know what? One time I'm gonna write one in. Yeah, and you're not gonna tell me. Yes. And I'm just gonna be like, this is fucked. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna write something wild. Okay. That's true, or are you I'm supposed to just guess it's you. Now forever I'm gonna be like, this can't be true. This has to be something Emily wrote in. No. I'll never know. Okay. Nine-year-old me signed up for a radio contest for Mother's Day. We had to write a letter stating why our mom was the best mom in the world. I don't exactly remember everything that I had wrote, but I sure remember putting on there that my mom was a good mom because she didn't put she didn't put me up for adoption. And then I'm glad she doesn't hit me that much. Oh, lovely. Let me just say that my mother, in fact, is the best mom in the world and I'm glad CPS wasn't called on us. LOL. Needless to say, I won the contest probably because they felt sorry for me. I got a free t-shirt, a teddy bear and flowers, and the radio read my letter for everyone to hear. Also, like, what were the other kids right? I I'm starting to believe that maybe this was the only one they got because this wasn't a very good one. It's really about them. Yeah. Like it's really a very good thing. I think it was it was hilarious. So it was definitely picked for the hilarity of it. And as a mom, you're like lovely. The other day we were at a an appointment and I was sitting in a waiting room with a bunch of people, and I was pretending to pierce Mila's ears. And we were just like, I was like doing a little pinch on her ear and being like, that's you know, your ears are pierced. And I said, Now, Mila, if you really got your ears pierced, it would be a bigger pinch, like it would really hurt. Um, and she goes, Oh, I never cry. I'm very brave. I only cry when you hurt me. And the mom next to us started dying laughing, and I was like, Okay, I promise I don't hurt her. Yeah. My husband was like, You probably just like she means like when you brush her hair. I'm like, but why me though? Yeah. Why am I why am I singled out? Why are we in public? Yeah. Yeah. So they, I think it's the hilary of it. Like kids really just thanks for not putting me up for adoption. That was funny. Cute. And I love that your favorite Mother's Day was one about you as a kid. Okay. And yours are two of two, you lazy asses. Okay. Told my husband not to get me a Mother's Day gift because I booked a Botox appointment with his money, and then she put the angel emoji. Yes, queen. Good for you. I've never gotten Botox. I have. Yeah. I'll be transparent about what I've gotten done. I know you guys are all looking at me like she looks fabulous. I don't know. It weirds me out. Plus, I've heard it's addicting. Yeah, I can see that. I mean, I just got some on my forehead, and that was it. That's all I've well, okay. I did get lip filler one time a few years ago. That was like a trial. I was going through a phase and I got lip filler. But the Botox I just got on my forehead, and I really did love it, except I squint because I can't see well and I don't ever wear my glasses. And that kind of prevented me to squint. So then I was like walking around like trying to open my eyes as wide as I could to see instead of squinting. Yeah, I don't know. I don't like things being put in my body. Like it was so weird about that. It was a weird feeling too. It like you hear the needle go in. So it's like crunch, crunch, crunch. Crunch. Um, but yeah, I would love like a trifecta, like a Botox lash tint, brow lamination, kind of like trifecta vibe one day for like a birthday present. That'll really get me going. I love anything that will is like high maintenance now, but then will help you be low maintenance. You know, like a lash tint, and then you don't ever have to wear mascara. Your lashes are just always brown. I woke up like this. I woke up like this. I love a I woke up like this kind of vibe. Now, see, I have very light eyebrows, so I do draw them in every morning. Oh, you do? Uh-huh. I'm like staring at your eyebrows now. Can you tell? I have like I hear I do a job. You do such a good job. I've never have thought Emily's drawing in her eyebrows. Even when you've seen me without them? No, I've never noticed. We wear glasses too. They're kind of not often. Even if when when we were on our girls' trip, you definitely saw me fresh. I don't have the, I'm not uh, what's it called? I look dead without them on the eye. I don't, I don't see the little things. But I've seen people who color their eyebrows, like with hair color. Yes. And I've thought about doing that. I have thought about doing that. People use just for men, and I'm not endorsing that because I think it could like burn your eyeballs, but I see a lot of women do that to dye their eyebrows. They just get the little just for men. Yeah, I feel like that would be a good idea. Like the beard one because it's got the little brush or whatever. Should I do it? Yeah, and report back. Let us know how it goes. Yeah. They have at-home lash lifts and like tents too that you can get. Like you can get packages and just like DIY it at home instead of like paying someone to do it. Could you ever be that girl that um like never wears a stitch of makeup? If I had a lash lift and tint and Botox and a brow lamination, then yes, I could. I respect it though. I actually wear a lot less makeup than I did in high school. I wear a lot. Like it was like foundation every day in high school. Oh yeah. Now I hardly ever. And wait, don't forget the bronzer. Yes. That was it. There was no blush. There was no concealer. Boy, were we using that bronzer though. That bronzer that like um It was like orange. Yeah, but it had like the sun on the on it. You know, like I know exactly what you're talking about. I can't think of the name. Oh, I can picture it in my head. Yeah. Um, and the other day I was putting on makeup and Nora was like, Can I put some of that on? And I was like, sure. And I literally pretended. Like, um, because I was putting my eyebrows on. So I took it and I like brushed it on with like the brush side. I didn't put anything on, and she looked in the mirror and goes, Oh my gosh. She was like, I look so great. I was like, You did. Yeah, this is wild. Literally nothing changed. Mila likes to put on like my perfumes and lotions and I let her do that. And I got this tip actually from my friend, um, like a year or so ago. I had said something like, I think Mila had maybe she had asked me, so it wasn't a couple years ago because she's only three, but somehow it got brought up about like why mommy wears makeup. And I had said something like, I look so pretty with makeup, or something like that. And my friend was like, actually, I'm gonna tell my daughters it's just to feel fancy. Um, we just put on makeup to feel fancy because I don't want them to grow up and think that like they're we have to wear makeup to be beautiful. I want them to think that their natural face is beautiful and like us who are like, we have to lob on cover girl in eighth grade. And I have said that ever since. And the other day I was getting ready and Mila said, Can I have some makeup, mommy? I want to look fancy like you. And she didn't say, like, I want to look beautiful. She said, fancy. And I love that. Yeah, like taking that in. Anyways, so that was it, guys. Next week, no, no. Happy Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to all who celebrate. I hope all the mamas have a great weekend. I hope you get pampered. Next week, we're doing unfortunately, I do love Mother's Edition.
