This may be their sweetest episode yet. Morgen and Trisha talk about all the things they are going to miss about their girls at this age, as they quickly transition into toddlerhood. Reflecting on their memories with Charlie and Remi got them thinking about their lives since the girls were born, and their emotions got the best of them. Yup, spoiler alert, it the first episode where they both get a little choked up.
The ladies are so grateful to be moms and so thankful for their little's. As much as the girls are learning from them, they have a lot to learn from the girls. They're so carefree and happy (most of the time). They're curious, adventurous, and inquisitive. There is pure joy in their smiles and laughs, which has a way of stopping the moms' in their tracks and wanting to join in.
Whether you're a mama or a papa or a soon-to-be, Morgen and Trisha would love to hear your thoughts and what you will miss or have missed with your kiddos. Share your memories with them at momjeansandminivans@yahoo.com.

Let’s be honest, us moms are always on the go so any daily tips, tricks, or timesavers can make all the difference. Listen in as we share what we do or have learned along the way. Perhaps not intentional, but reducing diaper changes saves time, money, and is better for the environment. Although we are pretty sure it knocks us down a level on the best mom rating scale. Worth it?!
Sometimes it’s as simple as the bibs we use or breaking food up with our fingers versus using a knife and fork. Fun fact, frozen fruits, and veggies are actually fresher than buying from the produce section, and they last longer so stock up mamas (papas and caretakers).
Teaching moments can also save a lot of time, and they’re learning in the process too, so get them brushing their teeth/hair, cleaning up after themselves and eating with a fork/spoon and save yourself some time.
We’ve got dozens more in store, so listen in and let us know some of yours as well. Oh, and the momfessions are fun and definitely relatable. Sometimes hugs are the cure for everything.

You're only pregnant for the 1st time once! Today we have Alysha with us, who is 26 weeks pregnant with her first child. This episode is all about preggo firsts.
Listen in as Aysha shares what her perfect pregnancy, labor, and delivery plan are, while Trisha and Morgen chime in on the things they remembered from their pregnancies, 15+ months ago! Weight gain, fatigue, morning sickness, and how the mere smell of food could get you running to the toilet. They discuss the pros and cons of maternity clothing in Winter vs. Summer. They cover it all. The ladies share their "been there, done that" advice with Alysha, and if Morgen hadn't been balancing a crying Charlie during that point of the conversation, her advice most surely would have been meal prep before the baby gets here! Load up the freezer with breakfast, lunch, and dinner meals to pull from the next three months after the baby arrives. Please share your birth plans and stories with us as well. Congrats to all the 1st time moms and all the ones with multiples too!

Ever feel like your toddler is getting on your last nerve?! Welcome to this week's episode!
The toddler tantrums are in full swing, and those personalities are truly shining through. Charlie's got a fiery side, and Remi has a case of FOMO keeping her from napping.
The taste buds are changing, and it is a daily challenge to get them to eat a balanced meal without flicking food from their mouths or deciding the food you gave them is too big, too small, too soft, too hard. Ever feel like you're a servant serving a Queen? Morgen and Trisha do!
Do you feel like you are saying "No" on repeat? Or wonder when, if ever your child will learn how to share, stop whining, and where they learned to bite like that? Morgen and Trisha do! And then, as if by magic, they get a mom win, and everything else seems to melt away. Stay tuned for their momsessions. They really kick off the New Year with some good ones!

2020 is right around the corner, and this year Morgen and Trisha have decided to throw 'resolutions' out the window and instead set intentions for the year. This episode is all about speaking them into existence. They start big with their plans of getting into a better home and growing their families. Careers and finances always seem to be somewhere on the list to improve upon or figure out! Let's not forget the intangible. Morgen and Trisha want to work on forgiving themselves and being more present with Charlie and Remi, along with some fun ideas for the year. Speaking of Charlie and Remi, they sprinkle 'mom-gushes' in with their year of intentions, but can you blame them, they lucked out with these two?! What are your intentions for the year? We hope this episode gets the ball rolling and you put it out there for the universe to answer back! Cheers to 2020, and thank you for joining us in 2019!

Hooray, the holidays are here! As mama’s, Morgen and Trisha have found that traditions are important to them when it comes to the holidays. Taking traditions from their childhoods and creating new ones. Cutting down trees from a tree farm, baking family recipes, and Santa pics with inked in footprints in the shape of a heart are among some of the traditions they look forward to and made their own.
As important as the traditions are, they both want to work on giving back and keeping the spirit and meaning of the holidays alive. Morgen and Trisha especially want to make sure they are instilling that in their girls, now that they are older and understand more. What kinds of traditions and giving back do you do with your family?
Stay tuned for our end of the episode momfessions and get prepared for blowouts, heart-pounding scares, and one of the best onesie secrets to date!
Happy holidays and thanks for listening in!

Morgen and Trisha discuss what stressed them out the most when it comes to traveling with their sweet babes, and have some tricks they learned to make travel even easier the next go around.
