Episode 51: Liz and Jeff's Story, Then & Now

A little BWC update 💜we are going to take a short break from the podcast, but we will be back before you know it!  We love sharing our light hearted, funny and relatable mom conversations with you all but right now it doesn’t feel right as we grieve a recent, very tragic loss & our hearts are elsewhere. Thank you all so much for your understanding and support – we appreciate you and will be back when we are ready!

We're baaaack with Jenny B for part two! This time we switch gears back to the the mom talk, kicking off with the thoughts of having a FIFTH kid and how our society doesn't produce the big families like the good old days. Unlike the three of us, Jenny is a stay at home mom, so it's really cool to hear her perspective, and it's true... the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Liz asks Jenny how someone can be a great support system, not just by "offering" help, but actually showing up, and that it's ok to say YES to help. We talk about the double edged sword of social media, where you want to post your most proud moments but are sensitive to others who may be struggling (ie., pregnancy announcements), and last but not least, we get into the Belichick's upcoming move out west!

Jenny Bee, one of the baddest baddies out there is back again! But this time this mom of 4 is talking about the end of an era. After 12 years & 5 Super Bowls with the Patriots Steve and Jenny are saying, "good bye New England" and "Hello Seattle". We get juicy talking all about "Dynasty" being a smear campaign, what she will miss most about New England and when she met Taylor Swift's dad at Gillette and how he crossed the line. You guys asked, and we got the answers! With a little guest appearance from our 3 X Super Bowl champ spilling the tea on his new restaurant and a little of what inspired that.

We have Chef Jeff filling in for Laura today! We thought this would be a perfect opportunity for the original 3 musketeers to sit down and reflect on where it all began with Liz & Jeff, and the shifts in their relationship over the past 10 years. We take you back to where they first met, how their relationship took form, and how Libby was their third wheel along for the ride! Libby puts them both in the hot seat and asks them questions about their last fight, what their favorite thing is about each other, biggest challenges they've overcome as a couple, their different parenting styles, and new favorite family traditions they've started.

This one is for the single girls, girlfriends, fiancés, wives & mamas! No matter what stage you’re at, we somehow cover it all in perhaps one of our most favorite recent episodes! We dish out some tips for our future brides, and Libby shares the best piece of advice she received from her Dad.  Do weddings need to be extravagant? Do we need this fairytale wedding or does that become less important with age? We discuss the importance of having those difficult conversations PRIOR to engagement and “putting it all on the table” sooner rather than later.  OH let’s not forget the Bravo drama! You know Laura & Libby had to relate this back to Summer House & The Valley’s couples most recent splits. We shift over to the mama talk – how do you know when you’re ready and how do you know when you’re done?! Liz & Laura are in the THICK of it with their young kiddos, talking about how no one prepares you for how busy schedules can get once they enter elementary school. Last but not least, we do a little rapid fire Q&A on relationships – how to get out of a lull, how important is sex and intimacy, is it ok to keep secrets, and can a relationship get worse before they get better?

In the past we've talked about love languages, but we just recently read the book "The 5 Love Languages of Children" by Dr. Gary Chapman and Dr. Ross Campbell and we think it is a MUST read for parents. We learned all about what each love language means, how to figure out which one is your child’s specific language, and how us as parents can tweak our behaviors to connect with our kids on a deeper level to keep their love tanks full. Who knew acts of service, quality time, physical touch, words of affirmation or gift giving could help us relate to and strengthen not only relationships with our partners, but our kids too!

We dish out our favorite beauty and skincare products, household appliances (lol @ the little things that excite us), recent books we've read, family recipes, etc. Libby recently read the book The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt which opened up a conversation about the mental illness epidemic the gen-z generation has/is going through with the boom of social media, and how the conversation of mental illness is much more broadcasted in the world we live in today vs. our parents generation.
