Chalkboard Confessions

We’re baaaack! 🎙️After taking the summer off from recording, Caroline and Erika are finally back behind the microphones — and obviously, there’s a LOT to catch up on.We’re talking about what happened over the summer, the reality of getting the kids (and ourselves) back into the school routine, and all the chaos that comes with the start of a new school year.And then… there’s Erika’s TV obsession. 📺😂You know when you start watching a show and suddenly it becomes your entire personality? Yeah. We need to talk about it.Summer stories, back-to-school madness, TV obsessions, mom life, and the usual completely unfiltered conversations.School is back in session… and so are the confessions. 🍎🎙️Welcome back to Chalkboard Confessions!

Before we jump into today's episode, I want to take a minute to talk about someone very special to me: Erika.You know, we spend a lot of time on this podcast laughing, sharing stories, and making fun of ourselves. But today, I want to be serious for just a moment.Erika, thank you.Thank you for being the kind of friend who shows up. The kind of friend who listens without judgment. The kind of friend who understands that sometimes life is messy, complicated, and overwhelming.Over the years, you've been there during the funny moments, the exciting moments, but also during the hard moments. You've always offered support, kindness, and a safe place to be myself. Never judging. Never trying to fix everything. Just being there.And honestly, that's a rare gift.People often talk about finding a soulmate, but I think friendships like ours deserve just as much recognition. Having someone who accepts you exactly as you are, who cheers for your successes, cries with you during the tough times, and still answers your texts after hearing the same story ten times—that's priceless.So before we start today's episode, I wanted to publicly say thank you. Not as my co-host, but as my friend.I am incredibly lucky to have you in my life, and I know our listeners are lucky to know you too.Now, before Erika starts crying and before I ruin my mascara, let's get into today's episode of Chalkboard Confessions.

For this special Career Day episode, our kids take over the microphones and become the hosts of Chalkboard Confessions! From career dreams to hilarious observations about their moms, nothing is off-limits.Let's just say they had a lot to say... and they know way too much.🎙️ No permission slip required. 😆👧👦👧

Welcome back to Chalkboard Confessions… where today, Erika is not only stressed… she is hydrated… but not with water.Yes, today’s episode is very special because Erika is about to take a French quiz… and instead of studying, she chose… to drink. Bold strategy. Très courageux.So if her answers are wrong, we blame the pressure.If her answers are right… we credit the alcohol.Of course, we’ll also dive into fashion—because some brands? We said what we said… we are NEVER buying from them. Ever. No return, no exchange.And Caroline will share her current podcast obsession—because between chaos, kids, and questionable decisions… we still make time for culture.So grab your drink—preferably after the quiz—and let’s get into it. No permission slip required.”

In this episode of Chalkboard Confessions, we’re diving deep into some serious reality TV drama.Maybe you’ve been living under a rock… or maybe you’re just a very responsible mom with an actual life (respect 🙃).Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered. We’re breaking it all down: the chaos, the tea, the “did-they-really-just-do-that?!” moments… all of it.So sit back, relax, and let us do the messy research for you.

This episode of Chalkboard Confessions is a long-overdue update… because, yes, we disappeared—but for very valid mom life reasons. Between the chaos, the schedules, the kids, and everything in between, life has been doing the most.And plot twist: Erika is now officially a CEO 💅 (we’ll let her explain… or try to).We’re catching you up on everything—where we’ve been, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and why sometimes survival mode wins over podcasting.It’s messy, it’s real, it’s very us.No permission slip required.

In this episode of Chalkboard Confessions, of course we’re talking about love—because it’s February and apparently we’re romantic now. But going deep wasn’t exactly easy… mostly because of what Caroline was drinking. Let’s just say the emotional depth depended heavily on the refill level.Between questionable life choices in a glass and a Wi-Fi connection that clearly didn’t support love, vulnerability, or podcasts, this episode became a true test of patience, technology, and sobriety.It’s chaotic, it’s unfocused, it’s slightly romantic… but mostly it’s two moms doing their best—with bad Wi-Fi and worse decision-making. Love was the plan. Survival was the outcome.    

Tonight we are finally recording again! Yes, it’s been a while… no dramatic reason, just real life: busy moms, sick kids, packed schedules, and honestly, some days we just wanted to hibernate and disappear under a cozy blanket. But we’re back, we survived, and we have a LOT to catch up on! 

Welcome back to Chalkboard Confessions… and today is a BIG day because we are officially ONE year old 🎉One year of real talk, mom chaos, laughter, WiFi issues, oversharing, and absolutely no permission slips required.We seriously cannot believe we’re here, and we are so grateful for every single one of you who listens, supports, and laughs with us.So today’s episode? It’s a little celebration, a little reflection, and a whole lot of us. Let’s get into it.”

In this episode of Chalkboard Confessions, Caroline gives us the latest updates from her brand-new puppy area — and spoiler alert: Snoopy is officially ready for Fashion Week. 🐶✨The WiFi is absolutely not on our side today (it might actually be our third co-host at this point), but nothing can stop us. Of course, we dive into Thanksgiving chaos, Black Friday madness, and all the deals we think we need.And as always, we’re so incredibly thankful for your support, your messages, and the love you show our little show every week. 💛🦃🛍️
