Hello, Mamas. I'm Emily. And I'm Ellie. And this is Mama Needs a Minute. Happy Friday. I'm fresh off the track. Actually, I'm not, but my husband ran the mini. Oh. And I feel like I did too. So what's a track? I feel like it was a like I feel very accomplished, you know, knowing that he did it. Yeah. Um, I was just like giddy all the way home. I'm like, I'm so proud of us. I did nothing, by the way. It's fun, see? It was so fun. Yeah. And but I walked so much. I truly do think I ran the mini marathon at the end of it. At least I walked it. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Because you have to park. If you've never been to the Indianapolis mini marathon, first of all, it's huge. If you've ever been to any mini marathon, they're pretty huge. You have to park like in a parking garage on the other side of town, basically. All the roads are like blocked off for the mini. So we're already walking for like 20 minutes just to get to like the starting point. And then you just like zoom and he's off. And I'm like, okay, bye. Hey, go dad. And you can't this mini, like I know last week, I think it was, we were talking about how like we should follow them around. Cause I know you like to follow them. But yeah, the way the indie mini is, you can't really do that because they kind of leave town and go to the racetrack. They go to the um indie car. Yes, yes. Have a yeah, what is it called? Oh hell. The um, I could want to call it just the indie car. The motor speedway. Yeah, Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Oh my god. I know we've got users. So they leave Indy downtown Indy. They like go, I think, along the canal, and then they end up at the racetrack. Yeah. And then they do the whole racetrack lap and then they run back. So you would have to like walk 20 minutes back to your car, get in the car, drive to the racetrack, find parking at the racetrack to like watch them at the halfway point, and then like drive back for the end, because then they end up back downtown, kind of where they started. So we couldn't really follow them. So you basically just say goodbye and like good luck. And then you sit for two hours and then you see them when they come back. I think the worst part for me, if I ever ran this, by the way, I won't, would definitely be the track that would feel forever. And Noah said it did. And he's ran it before, and he is like, I'm like, I think that would be the coolest part because you're like on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A lot of people like kiss the bricks, and it's like a whole thing. He was like, No, it's honestly the worst part because it's just so long. How long is it? Oh, I don't know how long the lap is. Probably a couple miles. Yeah, let's look. How long is the the oval track is exactly 2.5 miles? That would feel so long. Yeah, it'd be boring. Yeah. To me. Maybe not to somebody else. No, he in a circle. He said it was probably the most boring part of like the track. Yeah. He agrees with you. But then he was coming back. First of all, my kids were so excited at the beginning to like say goodbye to them. But the time, by the time the two hours had been up that we had been waiting for him to come back, they were so over it, kind of understandably so. It was a cold morning, too. And Julian's like starting to get a little fussy because he's done standing around. And under I understand. Completely, I understand where he's coming from because I would, I was fussy too after just sitting here for two hours waiting for him to come back. But he started to get fussy, like right, Noe was like a mile away. And I was like, if you ruin this for your father, yeah, you're gonna be in big trouble. And he he shaped up real quick, and then Noah crossed and he was like, Go, Dad! And he really made it. He he perked up for that and then was like crumpy again. And I was like, okay, you just let him have his moment. That's all I needed you to do was to let him have his moment. But we made little um signs with his f his face on it. Oh fine! So we were like waving his face. My kids made signs that said, I let him sit, put whatever they want. And they said, like, daddy is the best runner, and put like their little stickers all over it. So they were excited to like hold everything up. It was fun. The whole family had a good time. And I was proud of Noah because he'd been training for this for so long. It's like fun to see him get to do something, you know? Yeah. I need to talk about something called the Laguna Beach reunion. Did you watch it? No, I don't. It's above my I was too young for that. But go ahead. I can't breathe. I did not know this. You've never watched Laguna Beach? No. Ellie, his show was important. Is this the one with um the jenner? And Kristen Cavalier or whatever? Yeah, yeah, yeah. C Ben. Yeah. I know of it. Oh my god. The girls who known better. Yeah. Um, like I had it on DVD. So this is a reunion 20 years later. Okay, 20 year reunion. 20 years later, which is crazy. 10 out of 10, this reunion. If you watched Laguna Beach in high school, if you graduated in 2010 like me, um, or probably because I think I was like eighth grade when I watched it. Uh, this reunion was amazing. Okay. Absolutely incredible. I think. Is this someone with Spencer and No, that's the Hills. Okay. Yeah. No, that was like the spin off. Oh, okay. Yeah. No, Laguna Beach was literally um this group of friends in high school, and they were they weren't even like the wealthiest kids in their like grade or anything like that. Um, because it's Laguna Beach, California. Like, you know, you're rich. Everybody's rich. They were they were the average kids. Okay. And it just followed them and their drama around and the way that we were hooked on this show. I mean, they were showing like old scenes and I remembered every word. Have these guys not seen each other for 20 years? Do they not keep it? Some of them have. Um, but like Elsie and um Kristen hated each other. Elsie is Lauren Conrad. That's right. Which I was always team Kristen. Okay. Which is a hot take. But I found Lauren to be kind of insufferable. I think I shopped her clothing liner. Cold when I was younger. You use cold cash. Yeah. Oh, I'm so sad. I really thought we were gonna have this great conversation about it. I was too young, I think. I was like Zoe 101 when you were Laguna Beach. You're like, I was too young. I was too busy watching Titanic and riding in cards with voice. No, but I've been wanting to watch like a binge a show because I'm almost I'm caught up on the testaments now, so I have no new show to watch to like binge on. I wonder if it's on somewhere and I can just watch it for the vibes. Oh my gosh. Yes, this is a wonderful idea. Yeah, you need to find it streaming. I wish I still had the DVDs. I got I got rid of every DVD. I don't even own a DVD player. Yeah. No, who does? No, find out if it's streaming somewhere. Hell I'll rewatch it. It'll it says Paramount Plus, which I think I have. Yeah. You guys, if you are looking to be churly, I need you to watch this documentary. Was the reunion hosted by somebody? Like somebody asking them questions and stuff? And she did a good job. I liked her. Okay. Any cat fights at the No. No, everyone was we've moved on. Okay. Yeah, we're grown. Yeah. But still gave you everything you needed? Everything I needed. I was obsessed. Was the j Did you say they were in high school? Yes. So this is like a high school drama, but this is real? Reality? Yes. Reality. So they followed them around school? Yes. Well, they weren't really at their school. It was like all outside of school. What? Oh, yeah. And it if you watch it now as a mother, you're like, what the fuck? Doing stuff no teenager would No teenager. I don't know honestly how it was allowed to be recorded in public. Like drinking and lots of drinking. Yeah. And then like their spring break trip, which was in Cabo. So they were all of legal drinking age down there. Um they were wasted. I can't imagine like being their mom and watching this. Yeah. And like watching, like, I mean, they're going back to their hotel rooms and we all know what they're doing. And yeah. So I'm like, they had parents. Yeah. This was literally like the PG 13 version of Zoe 101. You know what Elsie was the PG 13 version of? Um, did you ever watch 902 or no? No, Bug Juice. No. Oh my God. It was um on Disney Channel, and it was these kids at summer camp, and it was a reality show about like their fourth grade drama. We were also hooked on that in fourth grade. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not as high schoolers. Oh my gosh, she's holding his hand. That's her boyfriend, not hers. Oh my god. No. And it was a it was a summer camp like parent trap summer camp. Yeah. It was pure goodness summer camp. Like there was a mess hall. They went canoeing. Like oh, like Camp Rock. I never got to do a summer camp like that. No, me neither. Yeah, no. No. I mean, I want to do it as an adult. Yeah. I want to go to summer camp for like um a three-day weekend with all my adult friends. Wouldn't that be amazing? Amazing. I think that's just called like a wellness retreat now. Adults. I want to eat s'mores. I don't want to eat fruit and shit. Like I want to like have a beer by the campfire. And like pick your uh like I want to do like um what's it called? Like archery and swimming. That's what I'm saying. I want to pick, I want to do horseback riding, new canoeing. Yes, yeah. Wouldn't that be so fun? So fun. We're going on a hike at night. They have to have some kind of adult version of a summer camp. You know what? Actually, another podcast, um, they used to have a camp. Oh, really? A podcast camp? They hosted with all their listeners. And they would come and they would do like archery and canoeing. Yeah. Should we do it? Yeah. But we're we're very low budget here. So come to my back for s'mores. Bring your own tent. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, I can't believe you didn't watch Laguna Beach. No, but I'm I'm thinking about watching it heavily now. Just far enough apart in the age. Yes. I never watched Zoe. I don't even really know her. I love Zoe 101. With Jamie Lynn Spears. It was on Disney? Lodian? I forget. But it was her like high school. She went to a high school that you like, it was kind of like a private school. I think they lived there and like had roommates, and it was an outside school, and it was a like drama about love and everything. And it was Brittany Spears' little sister was the main. But then she got pregnant at like 16 in real life. And so they canceled Zoe 101. And to this day, people are so mad at her daughter. There was a huge community of people mad at this baby. People are not okay. For canceling her. Yeah. They were like, you ruined Zoe 101 for me. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. That's wild. And I'm the lead member. Not just kidding. What about Boy Meets World? Did you watch that? No, too early. Full House? I watched Full House because it was on Nick at Night. I watched a lot of Full House. Jet. Yeah. Nick at Night. Yeah, and the Fresh Prince of Bell Air. Was on Nick. You rotate those two at night. I watched a lot of Spongebob too. I know you watched Spongebob. People still watch that. Like kids still watch that. And you know what I didn't get though? I was outside of the Hannah Montana craze. I didn't have cable then. I didn't have cable TV a lot of like my older childhood. And so when people were like really into Hannah Montana, I knew of a few episodes because I had seen them like at friends' houses, and I knew a lot of her songs because I just liked them. But I couldn't get into it. Uh smooth talking, slow rocking. He's got everything that a girl's wanting. He could be the one. That's a good one. I love that one. What about nobody's perfect? Oh, that was a bop. I like it. Yeah. But yeah, that was a good one. It didn't hit like the other ones. Yeah. But I had her when she became Miley Cyrus again. I had that CD and I knew every word. I loved when she became Miley. Wrecking bomb? No, that's way too late. That's when she shaved her head and shit. When she first came out as Miley and she was like, I'm gonna do me. Partying in the USA was on there. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Seven Things I Hate About You. Oh my god. Those kind of vibes. I haven't thought about that song in a long time. Yeah, it's about Nick Jonas. Yeah. Kill fuck Mary. All the Jonas brothers? Yeah. That's my favorite game, by the way. Okay, I'm fucking Nick. I'm um marrying Joe. No. Okay, you don't get to choose my fuck Mary kill. And I you know what? I do love Kevin. I I would marry him, maybe. Actually, I and then I would kill Kevin. But my alternate would be to marry Kevin and fuck Joe. Either way, I'm getting it in with Joe. Whether I'm married to him or he's a one-night stand. I think I would marry Nick. What? He seems like a good dad. Yeah, but he's he seems very, him and Priyanka seem very like type A personality. Very like, he's very classy and like bougie. He dresses really nice. He seems very like, I don't think we would mesh. Whereas I feel like Joe is more like laid back in that kind of sense. You read um Project Hail Mary, right? Yes. And I watched the movie. Oh yeah. Oh wait. Did we talk about this on time? I don't know. I talked about one and two. Yeah, I know. The lines get blurred. Um we ended up getting tickets to the State Museum. Because remember, I did say on the podcast, there's only so many of these set like 70 millimeter IMAX theaters in the world, and Indianapolis has one of them. So we ended up getting tickets and we went and it was wonderful. Yeah. Are you re reading the book? I am reading the book because it's my book club book. So I've I need to make haste. Yes. Because it just became available on Libby and I have like five days until we meet. It's a thick babe. I know. I know. I know. Yeah. So I'm trying to move swiftly. But um Are you into it? No, I like it so far. Okay, yeah. Yeah. But do you get what I mean about like the explanations? Yes. When he does a lot of math and you're just like, all right, but then he explains it afterwards. It's kind of like when you're in one of those, when you're watching like Interstellar something, and they're like, they see all this math. We have to get the physic physical gravitational pool of the X eagle. And you're like, I don't know what the hell they just said, but I'm really liking this movie. Yeah. That's how I felt about the book. Do you remember the movie October Sky? No. No, you were too young. Never mind. Forget I mentioned. Theme of the pot. Theme of the week. Especially because I just turned 35. And it's about that? No, I'm just saying because I'm old. Oh, okay. I'm mid-30s. Yes. I mean, I've been happy birthday. Thanks. I'm sure it was great. No, I'm excited. I love my 30s. I know you've said a million times. I'll say it till the and then I'll become obsessed with my 40s. Yes. Yeah. And you'll love it even better, and you'll tell everyone about how your 30s just weren't the same as your 40s. Your 40s are where it's at. But I really think that my 30s, I'm like, this is the this is the best decade of my life. I don't know how it could get better. Yeah. The kids are at darling ages, like, you know, married and happily married, which is saying something I feel like, and feel good in my career. I just love it. Yeah. So I'm like, yay, I'm 35. Yeah. Life's going well for you. Let's talk about your garden party. It was the best night of my life. My girls loving my girls, loving my girls is my heaven. Yes. And I was just like, the vibes were so good. The vibes were good. I can't attest. Um the vibes were immaculate because everybody there, like, I was just looking around. I'm like, I have really good fucking friends. And everybody genuinely wanted to get to know other people that knew are like, I don't know you. Like, but I've heard so much about you. I basically felt like I knew them all from you. Yes. Yeah. Like, and so I was so excited because I was like, I like love my friends so deeply that I'm like, I'm so excited because you've heard about my love for this one, and now you're meeting in real life. And no, it was my heaven. Yeah. It was the best I ever. It was so beautiful. There was twinkle lights outside. She had little like um almost like tea party appetizers, like little mini sandwiches and little mini desserts. There was wine, lots of wine. Lots of wine. Yeah. How many bottles were drank? Um, I believe I counted 25. Yep, lots of wine. Because I was telling Ellie that the next morning and I was like, okay, time to tidy this place up. And um I I didn't buy all, I bought 15 bottles, but there were other bottles that I think people just brought and opened. Yeah, yeah. And I when I looked outside, I was like, oh, dang, there's probably a bunch of half drank bottles of wine. No, they were empty. Not a drop. Yeah. I was like, okay, perfect. And you had a girl there doing permanent jewelry. Yeah. A lot of people got permanent jewelry. Yes. It really elevated the party. And um for the host, it doesn't, um, if you're like thinking about a way to elevate some sort of party, you don't that doesn't cost you. Yeah. Because she's like, I when I booked her, she said, you just have to have five people do it. Um, otherwise there is a fee. But she's like, if you're inviting like 35 people, you're gonna have to do it. Yeah. And um Do you know how many people ended up doing it? At least 10, because I got a free bracelet. Oh, if you do 10, you get a free one? Oh, so that's because I went out to get one like immediately because I was so excited. And she was like, Hey, since you're the host, like if 10 people end up getting one, so she's like, maybe wait. Wait and see, duh. Yeah. Oh my god. So it really like elevated the party because you got to go home with like a really cool piece of jewelry if you wanted to. That's not for everybody. And like somebody was like, Oh my god, I have to get an MRI. Like, why would I get that now? You know, like smart. Yeah, exactly. Oh so you got one with their birthstones, yes, and I the kids love it. Yeah, it's very cute. I and I'm like, then the next morning, of course, I was like, I wish I gotten, wish I would have gotten like four more because now I'm obsessed. Oh yeah, but now you can go to other people's parties and get them, and it's like a little collection. I'm already like following her on Instagram because I'm like, where is she gonna be next? Um no, you guys, if you're thinking about hosting an event, and I have to give a shout-out to Marco because I was so like, I don't know, I don't know if I want to do it. What if it's like pouring down rain? That would have wrecked the vibe. Yeah, truly, because like it would have been fine, but it would have not had the same ambiance. No, or what if this happens or what if nobody can come? And Marco was like, what if it all goes right? Like, then and I'm like, no, literally, it was it was top. I can't say it was the best night of my life. I mean, I did get married, so like there's that. My children were born in the evening, so I'm gonna say the fourth best night of my life. Yeah, for sure. Like it was just the best. Yeah. What was your favorite part? Just everyone being together. Yes. Yeah. I felt that way too about my parties. That's why I always cry at my parties because I look around, I see all my friends, and everyone's having fun. And I'm like, I love my life. I love my life. Yeah. Friends. Yes. And like some of my older friends, like old friends from college, came um, like early because they came from out of town and we walked and got lunch and coffee, and they helped me get stuff set up. And it was just the girliest, swirliest day. I kicked my family, my pets, everybody out. Yeah. And um, and I think they had fun. They got Chick-fil-A and had a sleepover at my mom's. And uh, yeah, so it was really it was good. When I was sitting at the table, one of the girls I was sitting at the table with was like, I just how does Emily have so many friends? I would never be able to have this many friends fill up a party. I said, What do you mean? It's Emily. What do you mean? And she's like, You're right. I don't know why I asked. I love building community. I love creating like friendships. Like, I love that some people left with new friends. Yeah. Like they were like exchanging numbers. I'm like, this is my dream. This is my dream come true. Building connections. I think I told you too. I had met this mom at pickup like three days before, and we exchanged numbers, and I was like, I just love you. I'm having a garden party on Saturday, and she couldn't, she ended up not being able to come. She had a vet, but she was like, No, that sounds fun. I actually would have come to that. I'm like, I know, and we would have been best friends. Especially after 20 bottles of wine. Literally. That's probably why everybody was best friends. Yes, yeah. So will you do it again next year? Nope, can't do it again. Can't recreate it. It's too organic. It was too organic, it was too perfect, it cannot be topped. And so I said, I want to do another like girly event, but it's gotta be a completely different theme. No, I I agree with that. Yeah. But now, yeah, that's your sign now to host little other events like a galantine or something. We'll we'll we'll have to get like the girlies back out. Yeah, because girls love a chance to just dress up for a fun occasion, especially moms, because we're not dressing up or anything else. Yeah. It's fun to dress up for the night. And I was also like, you know, I had to save for this because I was like, I was adamant that we always have to bring shit. Yeah. Like we're always showing up to like a kid's birthday party, and mommies have to get the gift ready and or they have to bring like a side dish or something. And I don't mind that normally, but I was like, I just want one night where my girls can just show up. Yeah. And they didn't have to worry about bringing a drink, bringing a dinner, yeah, anything. No, yeah. Just show up. And you had the best playlist. It was Bridgerton vibes. It was like instrumental pop music. Yeah. It was so good. No, I know. And everyone was giving Bridgerton, like all the pretty florals. Everyone was wearing little hats. What are those called? Like fasteners? Yes. Is it called a fastener, even if it's not for the Kentucky Derby? No, I think it is. Yeah. Those little like half hats. Everyone was wearing those. It was so cute. And we had um a gift to take home. Everybody got to take home their little bouquets. Yes. You had a little bouquet bar. Yeah. That was cute. Yeah. Anyways, should we get into our theme this week? Yeah, we should. Unfortunately, I do love Motherhood Edition. That's yours. Um, mine is I love when Julian sneaks into our bed at 3 a.m. every night. Because a lot of people are like I know. And a lot of people are like, this is this is where I draw the line. Like, we will not co-sleep. And I do agree, he does have to start in his own bed. I will not do that because that would drive me nuts. Um, and I want my like mommy daddy time. And but when he sticks in at like 3 a.m., we secretly love it. I love waking up next to him and he's just in our bed cuddling. Sometimes he'll like cuddle up against me. And that is so cute. It's so cute. So I unfortunately love that. Mila hasn't done that even in her big girl bed. Like she stays put until my kids. Julian, though, he's well, he just sneaks in. He's a good cuddly baby. I know I love it. Like, I'm like, maybe my kids could do that sometimes. Yeah, they they sleep hard. Plus, I'm already asleep, so it's not like he bothers me. Like I don't wake up to him or he's not like asking me things. He literally just sneaks in the middle of us. I put a pillow there now for him because I know he's gonna come in. Oh, that's cute. What's yours? A butt spatula. I knew you were gonna say that. I knew you were gonna say that. Out of my cold, dead hand. I love a butt spatula. I love a butt spatula. Um, and I get a lot of opinions on this butt spatula. Now we don't we don't use the butt spatula anymore. But if you don't know what it is, it's a little tiny rubber spatula um for their booty and it has a suction cup on the bottom. So when they are little and wiggly, uh, you can put the decitin on if they have a diaper rash. They get to the changing table and it's ready to go. So when you're trying to make haste with this diaper change before they pee on you. Also, decidin on my finger? No, thank you. Yeah. Like that's disgusting. Because that's the argument everyone makes. Just put it on your finger. No, then I have fucking decetin on my finger and I'm trying to get it off. The diaper's open, they're squirming. No. No, I love a butt spatula. I love it. I used it too. Yep. And I tell that's my like one thing when people are like, what should I put on my um registry? I'm like a butt spatch. But everybody has their I'm I'm curious to see how many of these things are like the newborn gadgets. Yeah. That like somebody is gonna say that is so stupid, you don't need that. But for you, it made something slightly easier. Yes, then great. Yeah, did its job. I agree completely. For a long time, I didn't have um a baby diaper pail. Do you know, like uh whatever they're called? Ubi or a diaper genie. I didn't have one for Julian for like the longest time. And then I found one for like brand new at like a secondhand store, and it had never been used. Um, like someone donated it or something. And I was like, where have I been my whole life? I've just been smelling diapers for a year now. Yeah. Stupid. But I thought, nah, why do you need a specific diaper? Oh my gosh. It does do help, especially so much when they're baby babies. Have I told you what I do with Caleb's diapers now? No. It's just really low budget. We got rid of the diaper pail. Um, because it's like, okay, he's pooping like once a day. Yeah. And the baggies can get expensive to like refill. So we got rid of that. We gave it to somebody else who needed it. And so now when Caleb poops, we just take his diaper and we put it in like a target bag. And one time I saw Marco, because his bedroom and like his changing table is upstairs, and I saw Marco throw it out of the upstairs window, and I said, What are you doing? And he was like, Well, I'm not, I I always do that because I don't want to walk it through the house like to take it outside because it stinks. Yeah. So I just tossed it out the window, which is like it lands on our patio in between like where we leave and the trash bed. Yeah. So you can just pick it up on your way. Now you're just chucking shit diapers out the window. Chucking shit diapers out the window. Like it's so, so yeah. What is the right word? Trashy a little bit. But I'm like, I don't care. Yeah. You're like waving at your neighbor, hi Steve. Chuck's the yeah, yeah. I mean, lovely day we're having. Chuck's the shit diaper. I mean, because it's one day, and then the next person to leave the house just takes it out to the next store. That's so smart. So smart. Yeah. So let's see what people said. Yeah. Um, contact naps and then complaining I can never get anything done. Yeah. I do like that too. I love a contact nap. Yeah. And then coming home, I had no time to do anything today. When Julian was a baby and I was my first kid, obviously. So I had all the time in the world. That's all we did was contact nap, and it was so nice. That is so sweet. Caleb would do that. Nora, she's she's an independent girl. She has always been always a cribnap. She's never even when she was a baby baby, I couldn't rock her to sleep. Like she would be like, put me down. Wow. And then she would do it herself. Yeah. That's so her, though. That's so on brand. Um, the smell of baby spit up. Oh, yeah. I can see that. Can you? Spit up. Nah. But but like the smell of just like baby, you can tell that they've just got they've got an essence. You know, like a newborn essence. I love that smell. Sure. Yeah, like they're they're like breath in the morning. But like it doesn't, yeah. I was just about to say, it doesn't happen right away, the newborn smell. Because obviously we work with babies and they don't have it. No. But like something like maybe a month or two in, you smell a baby and they've got it. It's like they're their body's like secreting baby smell. Maybe we can't smell other people's babies. I no, because I can smell my nieces and she smells like baby. I smell her. I'm like, oh my god, you smell like a baby and I want to eat you. Yeah, and like under their chubby cheeks. Yes. You're just like, let me get the biggest whiff. But they're not like that when they're first born. So they start secreting some kind of newborn essence. Ah, you're right. Like specifically vomit, no, but like just baby. Yeah. Love that. And you do, you want to chomp them right on their jaws. Yeah, I want to bite them in half. I want to rip them to shreds. That's called That's actually called cuteness aggression. Did you know that? Um, I didn't know that, but I did know that if you want to squeeze something that you find unbearably cute, it's called you want geagle. I want to giggle him. Oh, yeah, kind of the same thing as cuteness aggression. Where you just want to Oh, I love him so much. I want to squeeze you. Yeah. Fat baby. Baby kittens and fat babies. Unfortunately, I do love two under two. It's wild and I love it. Power to you, babe. You know, people do really thrive in chaos. I can't say I'm one of them, but I do. You do thrive in chaos? No, I'm saying that that's ridiculous to think that I thrive in chaos. Yeah. No, I like a I like things right where they're supposed to be. Yeah. I like my three-year age gap. I think it was just enough time. It was a perfect. But I can see people who do two under two and their reasonings for it. And yeah, chaotic and they love it. Some people do it so that they're done with diapers. Yeah, that's smart. They're like, let's get diapers out of the way. Just get them out of the way. I don't hate diapers that much. Yeah. I but I you know what I do love me, my sanity. No, yeah. Yeah. But I see I see a lot of people do two under two. Oh, this is a good one. What? Unfortunately, I do love a wipe warmer. People say it's stupid, but I love it. Yeah. That's another one that I'm like, you know what? If that's that's your that's your item. For some people, it's the bottle warmer or like the little baby formula Keurig. Or the Keurig. Yeah. Or the um the like giant $300 bottle washer. Oh. It's like a washer sanitizer thing. Have you seen it? No, but intriguing. Uh, people swear by it. Yeah. Or um the special thermometer for the bathtub. Yes. These are things that like if it helps your anxiety or something slightly easier than great. Because everyone is gonna have like one thing that they are anxious about. Like the bathwater doesn't bother me. I'm gonna use the back of my wrist and call it a day. But the butt spatula was like very important to me. Everyone has a thing that like helps them, that was their thing. Yeah. A wipe warmer I never used. Yeah. Because I'm lazy, honestly. Yeah. Too lazy to do all that. I'm too cheap. Yeah, that too. But I think I was gifted one. I just never used it. Oh, you had one? I think I did for Julian. We literally maybe used it one time. That's it. Do you still have it? No. Oh, you should have put your makeup um remover wipes in. Oh, smart. No, I don't have it anymore. That would be so nice at the end of the day. Yeah. Like, oh, that would feel like a little spa. Yeah. Yeah. You're right. I should have done that. Lesson learned. Unfortunately, I do love screen time. I love a good quiet time. 100%. I love a good quiet time. My kids don't nap anymore. My daughter just stopped. So we do quiet time every day. They pick a movie and it's two hours of let's just sit here and then we can be crazy. Mila's finally out of her cat in the hat phase. Thank gosh. She's in um too frozen now. Oh, yeah. And that's a fun one. Frozen too makes me feel like I'm on drugs. I can't follow the storyline to save my life. Oh, it is kind of a hectic storyline. I've tried. I've literally read synopsis of it. And I'm like, what? Because it's like Elsa's like finding herself off on like a subplot, like a side plot. I have no idea. She's like realizing she's like the fifth spirit. But like we didn't know there were four other ones until just this movie. And like the wind's blowing, and then there's that fight in the forest. I'm like, this is a lot. Yeah. Kristoff's just trying to get down on one knee. Yeah. I'm glad we're to a movie where I can like watch it and giggle and not like, oh my gosh, if I have to see the cat in the hat one more time. Yeah, but in a couple weeks, Frozen will be. Yeah, I'm sure. Yeah. But then maybe we're entering our princess era and we can kind of like go through all that because there's a lot of princesses we can get through now. Yeah, that's true. Now that she's into it. Yeah. Caleb was into sing for a long time. And then, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then they turned it into yeah, yeah, poopy. And then that was like the funniest thing. Funny thing of the whole month. Yeah. So, and now we're into uh Madagascar, which Madagascar is funny. Oh, they have King Julian. Yes, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's true. Julian. The one-liners are not funny. Yeah, smile and wave, boys. Smile and wave. Oh, like it's very funny. Adult movies, like kids' movies as adults, when you get the funny jokes that you probably didn't get when you actually watched it when you were six is hilarious. Yes. Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. And Noah, like Julian's really into like Power Rangers and Pokemon, all the things Noe was into when he was younger. And I'm like always been envious of that because I don't give a shit about Monster Jam. But now that Mila's like getting into princesses and like dress up, I'm like, oh, this is my moment. Yes. This is my time to shine. Yes, because that's fun. Yeah. Fortunately, I do love my kiddo sleeping in bed with me sometimes. I just love the cuddles and it won't be forever. That's what I said. Yes. That's what I'm saying. Waking up to them there, it is fun. And one day I'm gonna be like, Do you want to come lay in bed with me? And he's gonna be like, I'm 17. And I'm gonna be like, right. Right, right, right. That was fun. Yeah, I like that one. We all have our thing. I love hearing other people's things. Yeah. Next week, let's see. Next week is our advice episode.
