We're kicking off July with a good old-fashioned catch-up episode!

This week, we're sharing all the life updates, including:

✨ Whitney recaps her magical due date trip and why those friendships continue to mean so much.

🎆 We're talking Fourth of July plans, our favorite childhood holiday memories, and what summer celebrations look like now as moms.

🩷 Candace gives an update on how taking Evie's pacifier away is really going (the highs, the lows, and everything in between).

🎶 Plus, Candace shares all about the Noah Kahan concert and why it was such a fun night out.

No big topic this week, just two friends catching up on life, motherhood, summer memories, and everything in between. Grab your coffee, take a walk, or fold some laundry with us. We're so happy you're here.

This week, we're diving deep into one of the most unexpected and meaningful parts of modern motherhood: due date groups.

Whether you found yours on Facebook, Reddit, BabyCenter, or somewhere else entirely, there's something magical about navigating pregnancy, newborn life, toddlerhood, and beyond alongside thousands of moms who are in the exact same season as you.

In this episode, we're sharing how due date groups have shaped our motherhood journeys, the friendships we've made, the support we've received during some of the hardest moments, and why these communities can feel like a true village in a world where so many moms feel isolated.

Of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows. We also talk about the challenges that can come with these groups, including comparison, differing parenting opinions, and navigating relationships online.

If you've ever wondered whether joining a due date group is worth it, or if you've found yourself leaning on yours more than you ever expected, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What a due date group actually is and where to find one

• Why being surrounded by moms in the exact same season is so powerful

• The friendships and support systems that have come from our groups

• How due date groups evolve from pregnancy through the preschool years

• The challenges of comparison and differing parenting styles

• Why these communities have made motherhood feel less lonely

• Our favorite memories and biggest takeaways from being part of these groups

As always, thanks for hanging out with us this week. If you're part of a due date group, we'd love to hear about your experience!
