If you’re a longtime listener, you know that Meagan and Sarah like to occasionally set aside issues of parenting and family life and talk about all the other things making them happy: books, movies, podcasts, style, food, and creative pursuits. In this week’s show we kick off a new semi-regular series where we do just that. We’re calling it The More-Than-Mom Hour!

Yes! Loved the format of this show. I think episodes (and posts) like these are great for transitioning from one season to the next – gives a wrapup of life lately and a look ahead to the season to come.
ps. Those Target shorts are super cute!
Love this topic. I enjoy the mom-topics, but the break is nice. I am always on the lookout for new media to consume or shorts to buy! I have been getting back into reading fiction and loved The Nightingale. I was semi-neglecting the kids in order to keep reading it and that hasn’t happened in ages.
Meagan you might enjoy The Story of Land and Sea by Katy Simpson!
I really enjoyed this episode! Well let’s be honest, I love all of your episodes! I thought becoming a mom would be a little more natural, but in reality it is a lot of learning along the way! I love to gleam any kind of advice and welcome all tips! This episode was extra fun! I am a mom and need all the help and advice I can get, but I am also a woman! It was exciting to break away for a minute from your normal great messages and hear other things about your lives, which made me think a little bit more about my life!
Just finished listening to this episode, and it is one of my favorites – like listening to friends (while I’m cleaning my house :)). Please do more of these – maybe seasonally or more if you run out of other topics. Thanks!
