Southerland Girls

One week of solo parenting down, one more to go. God bless me and my patience level. 😂This week we're talking about surviving two weeks of solo parenting, being extra thankful for help and a present partner, and Liam deciding it's officially time for Christmas — preferably with one tree in every room.We also recap our Moms Together gathering where we made ornaments for Lydia's House, debate what actually counts as being “late,” and share the story of Dad showing up 45 minutes late to Mom and Dad's second date 28 years ago.Plus, we're laughing over ridiculously complicated Amazon lamp instructions, glue-on nails and questionable press-on toenails, and the great shattered baby bottle incident that left tiny sparkly pieces of glass all over my kitchen.Basically: parenting, patience, Christmas, bad timing, fake nails, and a little household chaos. 🤍Follow Southerland Girls: @southerlandgirlsInstagram | TikTokVisit SoutherlandGirls.comEmail the Show

We're back! And apparently returning to work while raising two boys is exactly as chaotic as expected. 😂This week, Brittany shares what the first two weeks back at work have really looked like, why we've been a little MIA, and how juggling work, preschool, a baby, sickness, and everyday life has been... a lot.We're also celebrating Shannon's 15 YEARS of sobriety and getting her chip — plus she officially won the Sadie Robinson Huff 4GVN energy drink giveaway! 🎉We catch up on Liam's preschool life, pumpkin patch photos, middle-of-the-night fears, and the moment he confidently offered to help with Baker like the sweetest big brother. Meanwhile, Baker hit a HUGE milestone and finally slept through the night!We also talk about why we miss Celebrate Recovery in our community and how much we feel spaces like that are needed for young adults today.Basically: work, motherhood, sobriety, church, sick kids, sleep wins, and the usual Southerland Girls chaos. 🤍Follow Southerland Girls: @southerlandgirlsInstagram | TikTokVisit SoutherlandGirls.comEmail the Show

The return-to-work countdown is officially on, my to-do list is out of control, the kitchen is STILL not finished, and somehow I'm trying to embrace the chaos. 😂This week we're talking about adjusting to my new mom body, going up a size and accepting it, and asking the very important question: ladies... are we still wearing thongs? Because where did all the fabric go?!We also get into Liam's first school picture day and book fair, our matching pajama obsession, why we're loving Mad Men, and the intrusive thoughts that somehow send our brains down the weirdest rabbit holes — including the childhood nightmares we still remember way too clearly.Just another completely normal Southerland Girls conversation. 🤍Follow Southerland Girls: @southerlandgirlsInstagram | TikTokVisit SoutherlandGirls.comEmail the Show

Raising boys has officially turned me into a Type B mom. 😂This week we're catching up on motherhood, family, and life lately — from my final week of maternity leave and finding a much-needed mom community at church, to why we think dads need a support group of their own.Plus, Liam tells Gigi that Mommy and Uncle Sean are his best friends, we're getting ready to dedicate Baker at church, we laugh about our failed podcast book club era, and somehow we've already ordered our Christmas pajamas before Halloween.If you're raising kids, trying to find your village, or just want to feel like you're catching up with friends, come hang out with us. 🤍Follow Southerland Girls: @southerlandgirlsInstagram | TikTokVisit SoutherlandGirls.comEmail the Show
