Burning for Bridgerton
Grab your bonnets, we're heading back to the regency era! Join us here on Burning for Bridgerton as we dissect and over-analyze each episode of Bridgerton on Netflix and it's spinoffs.
But the Book Was Better
Join Claire – self proclaimed book nerd and Julie – a streaming obsessed, as they read books, then watch their screen adaptations. They’ll break down each book… and debate which was better. (It’ll be the book, it’s always the book.) Tune in to find out!
Tell Me More
A deep dive on all the random ideas, concepts, people, places and things that cross our mind. We are prepared to do all the digging for you on the internet (and beyond) and present (like old school research project style). We are Chelsea and Julie, and we will be your fact finders for each episode. So get ready… we’re going deep… like page 12 of the Google search deep.
Whose Kid is That?!?
We are experts in imperfect parenting. We’ve seen it all, hopefully. Join us each week as we drink, laugh, and share the most ridiculous situations our kids have gotten into. In case you were wondering, we are definitely not parenting experts and you should definitely take any and all advice we give with a grain of salt. If your kids do this crazy, ridiculous, obnoxious stuff too, just know – you are not alone!
