80. Leading with Love

Our answer is YES - we had the most amazing trip to Disney ever! We are recapping our entire trip day by day - including where we stayed (off property at the Omni Championsgate vs. on property at the Disney Riviera), how we navigated park days and rides (DAS, multi-pass lightening lane & premiere lightening lane), our favorite rides and "must dos", and Liz's first time experience at Universal Studios! We are giving you all the silly details and funny stories that made our trip one to remember forever !!

Since we were away last week, we decided to repurpose one of our most listened to and inspiring episodes from last year, with one of our best friends Allie Hershman. We recorded a short but sweet conversation of where she is at now (she's not only a wife, but a mama!!), and her most recent endeavor starting Ollie & Friends Podcast ! We are SO proud of her for launching this amazing kid friendly and interactive podcast that our little ones are absolutely loving. We love you Allie! If you loved this episode, please leave us a 5 star review! You can find Allies new podcast here - Ollie & Friends

Today we have Jeff on the pod! Liz & Jeff sit down to talk all about what their new routine looks like in the Fragala household. From Jeff starting a new job and how that schedule impacts their home routine, to the families "reset bootcamp" where they are getting rid of all screens (yes, that includes TV!), sugar, etc., and everything in between. We love having Jeff on the pod to hear the other sides opinion, values, routine, etc., and we can all take a page out of Jeff's book!

Welcome back to the Bad Wives Club! Starting this episode off with a REAL recap what these past few weeks have looked like marriage wise...now that we made it through to the other side alive and still married lol. We're giving our thoughts on labubus now that the older kids officially have them, healthy breakfast ideas, and bad habits that we are calling it quits with for the kids as a "trial and error" to turn behavior around, and we talk about how we can control outside variables. What are your thoughts on buying siblings gifts on birthdays? We'll tell you ours! We also give you a nice rant on the end to basically... be a nice person, lead with love, and spread more positivity in a world where there can be so much hate. Love you guys!

Happy September or Happy New Year?! Feels like the new year for us... fresh start and new routines. We're doing a fun little rapid fire of questions today about all things fall! Closet cleanout vs. buying new staples, looking cute vs. homeless at drop off, PTA Moms or avoid at all cost, fall trip with or without the kids, best fall dates, scents, flavors, etc. ! Tell us what your answers are to these questions in the comments section - we want to hear from you!

Happy Thursday, Bad Wives! We're recapping our first week back into the new routine - how the littles did their first week in preschool, youth sports (and struggles that come along with that) and the routine we've been craving. Libby watched "Unknown Number" so we discuss this INSANE story, which leads us to such a scary part of parenting in our day in age - technology and cyber bullying. Engage with us in the comments with your thoughts on todays episode, we love hearing from you guys!

Welcome back to the BWC and Happy September! We hope you all enjoyed your last week of summer, and are ready to hit the ground running with this new school year!  We're recapping our final weeks of summer - cape days and slow days, and how we are transitioning back to school. Liz had the BEST stay in Harwich - you can book her exact house that she rented through this link with New England Vacation Rentals. (PSA - booking direct through a vaca rental manager vs. air bnb is cheaper because you avoid crazy fees!) Delilah and Rocco are in pre-K, so we will keep you updated on those nervous jitters!  We get into the whole new labubu craze and how we struggle with wanting to give our kids everything vs. saying "no" to the silly fads (shoutout to Raw Kickz who Liz mentions!) We discuss the scary part of sending our kids to school (prayers to all those affected in the Minneapolis shooting), and how we want to protect our kids without completely sheltering them.  There's a town in MA that got rid of all homework for elementary school - do we love that!? And what are your thoughts on kids calling us by last name? Let us know in the comments section! 

We are back with a part-two of last weeks conversation! On todays episode, we are focusing all on how the avoid drama in your 30's, the difference between avoiding drama versus people, how to say "no" when your social battery is completely drained, and how to distance yourself from others without the dramatic breakup or villainizing friends. We got so many messages from our listeners, so we incorporated some anonymous messages we received into the episode to discuss our thoughts and opinions.

In this episode of the Bad Wives Club, we’re looking ahead and calling in our next chapter — from big-picture life goals to next summer’s dream plans (including Liz renting a house in Aruba for a month!). Libby admits she’s not usually the “manifesting” type, but she’s ready to lean into the spiritual side to see if she can attract a little more magic into her life. We share how we’re protecting our peace in our 30s, setting boundaries, and dodging unnecessary drama. Think vision boards, beach houses, and living life on our own terms, somehow and someway!!

The Summer we turned obsessed with teen drama...!! The Summer I Turned Pretty has some low key advice on grief, which led us into the conversation on how Liz is doing lately and how much she has learned to live with grief and be the best support system for her sister over this past year. We turn it back to some light and funny conversations about the new Real Housewives of Rhode Island and our speculations as to who is on the cast, and then how much we are over the Miami drama! You guys all wanted a car review, so at the end you'll hear our recap of the new cars we both recently got! If you loved this episode, please leave us a review and hit the follow!
