Honey We're Having a Home Birth with Kellee Khalil

We're back this week with the one and only Kellee Khalil, founder & CEO of Loverly and host of the Loverly Wedding Planning Podcast. This episode is a must-listen for any current moms, anyone planning to be a mom one day, or anyone who just loves fascinating stories about motherhood from a badass all around human. We talk about the notion of "having it all" as a mom, how nyc hustle culture can be toxic AF, and how you can move out of the city to be a suburban mom but still absolutely thrive in your career (hint: it doesn't mean you're 'quitting')! Kellee gets super open and honest with us about her journey to motherhood, including why she decided to do a home birth, and why she decided to do co-sleeping with her with baby.

Being An Adult Sucks (moving, money, maturing, & more)

Honeys, we're officially in our 30s. Which is great, we're more mature (sort of), more confident, and have more money than we did in our 20s. However, both decades still have one thing in common: becoming an adult during them sucks. It's hard sometimes. In this episode, we give updates on both of our moving situations (Nicole found a place! Caro, still up in the air), and we play a fun game of f*ck, marry, kill to discuss your submissions for how adulting sucks. We end the episode on some uplifting and amazing life advice from our family members, who surprise us with their positive perspectives on getting older. It's a feel-good episode you won't wanna miss.

Honey We're Using The Right Love Languages

We're back for another fun solo episode, and this time we're celebrating "Golden Husbands" for a change. We have an email from a listener all about how her husband is basically perfect, and we give her easy tips for how she can show her appreciation (hint: the #1 tip is just to be herself bc let's face it, he's lucky to be married to her anyway). Then we get into fun questions about each other to see who's the better listener, and in a shocking turn of events, it's Nicole who gets most of them right. But in Caroline's defense, Nicole's moved 87 times so how's she really supposed to know where she was born. We end with a riveting discussion about role models in our lives and how to measure TRUE success, and it's wholesome af. Xoxo Learn more about your ad choices.

Honey He's Changing His Mind About Kids & Marriage

Honeys, this episode gets prettyyyy deep. We start with recapping Caro's birthday week and why it's important to be a good friend on your friend's birthday, and how Nicole won MVP of the week by simply sending bagels. We then get giddy about Fall and spooky season approaching, and no it's not too early for that ok? We also talk shows that we're watching right now (Love Island, Tell Me Lies, and The Perfect Couple) - and we're watching completely different shows (shocker). We finally get into the good stuff and elaborate on the listener email submission from last week's episode about her husband changing his mind about wanting kids. We also have an email about a boyfriend completely changing his mind about wanting to get married, and let's just say we have a lotttt of thoughts on this one. Men are being extra annoying in this episode, but together we can try to decipher what's going on in their simple minds.

Sex And Marriage: How Often Are We Supposed To Be Doing It?

Honeys, we're finally doing it (no pun intended). We're finally delving more into the topic of sex (Caroline is sweating, but Nicole's forcing the topic because it's important). Before we get into the sex talk, we discuss an email from a listener whose husband decided to tell her that he's changed his mind about wanting kids. The classic bait and switch. Nicole found a game in her TV credenza called "Where Should We Begin?" by Esther Perel, so the girls play it by answering some of the very unique and weird sex-related questions, probably not the way Esther intended the game to be played, but oh well. Then they get into answering the audiences' burning questions like "how often are we supposed to be having sex?", "what if my partner and I have mismatched sex drives?", "what if i'm too tired to have sex?" and more. The point of this episode is to show us all that there's no right or wrong way to be having sex in your marriage, as long as you're doing what works for you as a couple, and you've found someone who matches your freak, then you're good to go.

Honeys, we’re kind of all over the place today (in the best way possible). Today’s episode kicks off with a continuation of the discussion around the listener email about getting married for a green card, since we have new info!

Girls Trips vs. Couples Trips: Pros & Cons

Honeys, we're finally home. No but actually, the girls have been apart for what feels like a century because Nicole was running amok in Spain and London for the past 2.5 weeks since she's childless and (corporate) jobless. Caro catches her up on what she's missed, including Sonny Angels and the giant river in France. They then recap Nicole's trip and chat all about the pros and cons of traveling with a girl vs. a guy (hint: unfortunately it's easier with a guy only bc they carry bags). They end with a listener email struggling with a big dilemma about whether or not she should get married for a green card, which we have absolutely no expertise on so send us your thoughts on the @honeywerehomepod instagram! or email honeywerehomepodcast@gmail.com of course.

Honey, It's Caro's Husband!! PT. 2 (support when work sucks, being flexible and always laughing)

There's a special guest this week and it is none other than John Albert Patterson III, Caro's witty husband, back for round two. No stranger to coming on the show, John and Caroline skip the meet cute (go to their first joint episode, Honey, John's Home, for all that good stuff and then come back!) and they get straight in to audience burning questions. After a quick recap of All About John, a Ballerina Farm debrief that only a male could drum up, and a saga of why being a faster dish washer isn't always better when it means broken glass and cloudy cups ◡̈ (as well as some caffeine and red wine) the pair get in to the nitty gritty. What is it like when one of them is stressed at work, what's working and what isn't when it comes to support of the stressed out party, and what happens when you know better but stress gets the better of you anyways? They talk about integrated Caro's toast game from bachelorettes into their day to day as a way to build positive perspective and silver linings even when it might have been a hard week, and discover that there's a nice harmony when they practice being both overly communicative and flexible with each other. They end the episode with a game of How Well Does John Know Pop Culture and John throws it back on Caro only to his demise, when he loses a bet and has to watch the entire Eras tour movie with her. You can follow Caroline Crawford Patterson and Nicole Pellegrino at @carolinecrawfordpatterson and @nicolepellegrin0 on instagram (u cannot follow John because he leads a life of shrewd social media mystery when he isn't on a hiatus and only accessing it through his browser) You can follow both of the girls @honeywerehomepodcast The inbox is the bread and butter of the show, and always anonymous.

Ladies Who Lunch with Jenna Bycoff (BRIDEMERCH)

This is the first episode of "Ladies Who Lunch", an ongoing series where the girlies interview people they are obsessed with in real life and online over their favorite drinks, all to have a little laugh and maybe get a good story or a solid piece of life advice along the way. Their first guest is the electric and lovable Jenna Bycoff, the founder and designer of bridal streetwear brand, Bridemerch. Jenna gets deep about starting a brand in her mid-thirties and the journey to get there. She discusses the inspiration behind the brand, how long it took to come to life, and exactly how she made it a reality. Emphasizing a slow approach and the importance of having a partner that treats your passions just as importantly as their own, the girlies hold hands while they get inspired to stop freaking out over their timelines so much and just GET THERE WHEN THEY GET THERE. They play an invigorating game of Love or War that leads to a tantalizing conversation on where men cut their toenails (and if some of them even do?!) and end with a quick little tutorial on how to NOT be the grumpy photo taking spouse (you know the ones we're talking about). We can't wait for you to get in to this episode and would love to hear who you want to see next on Ladies Who Lunch ♡ You can find Jenna on Instagram @bridemerch and online at [https://www.shopbridemerch.com] (https://www.shopbridemerch.com) - she is also sold in-store at Kleinfeld's and online and in select stores at Anthropologie.

Honey We're Falling in Love Again

Happy Freaking Tuesday. Caro read One Italian Summer and listened to Taylor's Swift surprise song set in Gelsenkirchen and decided just because she's married it doesn't mean she can't fall in love again. It's the summer of "sexy dates" - which are basically "engates" (engaged-dates) for washed up married girlies like ourselves. The real tea comes from audience tips, who are proof that this theory works and Niki has enough ideas to write a book on cool things we should all start doing with our spouse. Listen for a little touch of delusional inspiration because there's no reason we all shouldn't be living in our own rom-coms, and the book should keep getting saucier with each chapter (even when the logistics of life are trying their DAMNDEST to get us).

Then, they talk about what they'd be doing if they could work for fun and not for money (lol, goals). The rest of the episode is spent discussing an email from a MOH who's bride friend is asking her to pay a trillion dollars for her MOH duties, which leads to a larger discussion: why is being a bridesmaid so effing expensive, and how can we be good bridesmaids without spending our life savings? The girlies then answer audience questions which inevitably leads to the topic of baby timelines, shocker! xoxo Learn more about your ad choices.

Afterwards there’s a very important rendezvous regarding baby shower etiquette including how many drinks one should have, why you can’t procrastinate the baby shower gift much the girls’ surprise and whether the cooed shower is the new move. Recs of the week are summer refreshment inspired and love or war leads to a fight over caro being cheugy and Niki not knowing how to play mermaids.

Are there boundaries when it comes to bonding with the people you work with? The gals start out with a banger as caro recalls a surprise encounter with a naked gentleman in her building last week. But meat of this week's episode, however, is all about making (and keeping?) work friends - and how close is too close when it comes to your spouse and a work friend of the opposite sex? Work friends can be the reason we love our jobs, but how do we know if the relationship can survive beyond the office, or if we even want it to? On the flip side, sometimes there are girlies that aren’t for the girls - who might try to become your husband’s work wife… in a way that doesn’t feel like roses. How do we train da boys to spot a bad vibe from a mile away channeling that special sense that only the girlies have? And even then, what are the actual boundaries you can implement that don’t feel over the top or unrealistic? We say this a lot, but you won’t want to miss this one.

Staying Sane On Family Vacations

On this week’s episode, Nicole recaps her family trip to Florida since she and Mike have the totally one of a kind unique perspective of being the only DINK couple on the vacation (double income no kids, duh). Caro has a freak-out at the mere thought of one of her younger sisters potentially having a future baby before her, and Nicole calms her down by telling her that her world is going to get better once they all grow up and are in a different stage of life together. They discuss the overall dynamics of family trips, and give life hacks for prioritizing your partner and staying sane throughout them. They do recs of the week - Caro’s is a deep and insightful article about relationships and Nicole’s is…….. pants. Then they end with a funny advice email and turn-ons of the week, and get jealous/scared of sales girls because those are the ones you have to watch out for!! Nicole runs away at the end because she has a bladder the size of a gerbil's. <3 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit [megaphone.fm/adchoices] (https://megaphone.fm/adchoices) ... Read more

What Are The Rules of Bachelorette Parties?

The gals love a girls trip/bachelorette party, and they’re gonna tell you exactly why. Takeaways are: don’t forget to vibe check yourself, take a moment when you need it, ride the banana boat when you see it, and sleep when you get home (it’s a marathon, ladies). Caro has decided she’s not joining the no-drinking bandwagon and Niki goes in to why the bandwagon might actually be for her. A true tale of two sides. Niki gives her non-alcoholic recs of the week and Caro gives her ultimate vacation pedicure hack. There’s no shortage of bachelorette horror stories from both the listeners and the girls to unpack this episode (caro’s mom snuck on to hers?) which lead to a boatload of ideas and tips to make this season’s bachelorettes flow as smoothly as the tequila shots will the second you touch down.
