Minivan Mamas

Minivan Mamaspodcasters.spotify.com
2 mamas. 6 kids. 1 podcast recorded from their minivans (because quite frankly, that was the quietest place they could find). Join the minivan mamas Cherish Payne and Alexa Zurcher as they spill the tea - all while drinking their diet cokes. They'll dive into all things you talk about with your besties - mom fails, why-didn't-anyone-tell-me-that-about-postpartum stories, best and worst marriage moments, and all the junk they find in their vans. Motherhood is hard enough and you shouldn't have to go through it alone. Buckle up!

Goals You Can't Fail in 2023

New Year, New Goals! We're busy mamas over here, so making a HUGE list of resolutions just doesn't work for us. Instead we make four very simple, very attainable goals for 2023. We're setting one physical goal, one emotional goal, one social goal and one spiritual goal for the year. Things like staying consistent with exercise, more beignets (jk, but iykyk), and being of good cheer. We're also leaving behind that mom guilt, extra clutter, and the weight of others opinions in 2022. Good riddance!...
