Alisa ran the 45th London Marathon! The ladies get the download right after the event.
Alisa ran the 45th London Marathon on the 27th, and we are here to get the down-lo from her on her experience...after watching her cross the finish line on the telly.
We find out what motivated her to run marathons in the first place, then talk about what she wore, how she prepared, and how she felt during the run.
We hear all about the costumes other people running wore... hilarious as well as admirable, and all about some of the best signs.
Best of all we hear all about the support Alisa got from friends, family, and the London crowd... and from friends and family all along the way in the lead up to the London Marathon as well as during and after.
We're all a little weepy after this episode...

School Holidays... do mums ever go on "vacation"?
It's the end of April School Holidays, and the kids are back at school. Are school holidays friends or foe? Anke, Alisa, Kim, Rebecca and Heather discuss if it's really possible for us to really go on vacation at all... and what about if we don't have vacation to take from work? How do we deal with the stress or the guilt and everything in between?
Do we prefer to fly, drive or take the train? Head to the beach, pool, or hike? What are the tips and tricks we have to share along the way when it comes to spending quality time with our families while not going crazy?
Join us for another hilarious podcast as a long the way we talk ALOT about nudity, share sick kids experiences, the best and worst holidays we have taken, and why ultimately travel is amazing for us and the kids as a means to expose them to different ideas and cultures.

It's mid April, and the mums are discussing upcoming cultural and sporting events we are looking forward to this year.
It’s midway through the Easter school holiday (one more week to go before the kiddies are back at school!), and Alisa, Tanya, Anke and Heather are catching up to chat about what the ladies have been up to thus far (trips to US, Portugal and exploring the city) as well as discuss how beautiful spring is in Edinburgh (go to our Instagram).
Given that it is mid-April, we are buzzing to discuss the fun cultural and sporting events we are looking forward to which are taking place in Edinburgh this upcoming year. Everything from the Edinburgh Book Festival to Moulin Rouge to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival: this is your primer on some of the cultural activities coming up this year in Edinburgh.
The ladies give tips on how to make World Book Day less painful for mums, advice for parents with kids visiting the many free museums in Edinburgh (don’t climb on it – it might be art) as well as whether or not to jump in a fountain are also discussed. We also debate the “hotness” of a show we went to together given the amount of items coming out of the performers' pants.

In our inaugural podcast, the mums discuss friendship: how we met, why we're still friends, and why our friendship group is important to us.
Heather, Alisa, Rebecca, Kim, and Anke get together for our inaugural podcast on Mothers Day (cheers to Mother's Day!) to drink wine and discuss our special friendship group. We talk about how we first met in Edinburgh, Scotland during the pandemic through our kids in primary school.. spoiler alert: we were desperate to make friends!
The mums discuss what makes us special as a friendship group and what keeps us together...fizz and coffee are predictably incredibly important. We talk about why being in Edinburgh gives us a special connection and opportunities for getting together face to face on a regular basis.
We dive into whether we actually benefit from our age... and how social media could get in the way of making friends for younger generations.
We chat about the importance of not getting angry or catty with one another, being accepting each other's differences, being willing to chat about anything without judgment, and whether we are really as mature as Jane Fonda with regard to friendship goals (no, we are not).
Along the way we have loads of laughs and chatter... we are a bunch of individuals (weirdos?) who are very lucky to have one another to lean on.
Please note: this podcast includes some adult language so don't play for the kiddies!
