A For Effort

Tis the season of the much anticipated birthday! We are thrilled to celebrate you. We are thrilled to celebrate your kid. We are thrilled to celebrate your grandma's 100th. May we just ask that you keep the party to a casual 90 minutes? We only have 3 more birthday parties today... so I'm sure you understand.

Show Notes

In this episode we explore the in's and out's of a birthday party? How much should you spend on that random kids gift? Should you drop them off or should you stay? How often should you be celebrating the birthday with an actual party? We don't have any actual answers to those questions... but we do have some thoughts on just the party season in general. Maybe you'll find yourself nodding your head a time or two... HBD!

What is A For Effort?

Hey, it’s us: Amanda and Megan. We’re just two average moms who love their kids so dang much we decided to start a podcast! This is not another mommy podcast, with experts informing you how you can be a better mom/wife/daughter/coworker/best friend in twenty-six sugar-coated steps. What WILL you find in this podcast? Validation? Yes. Laughter? Hopefully. Inspiring advice? Probably not.

Truthfully, no matter how many parenting books we read or conferences we attend, we still find ourselves raising our eyebrows and stifling laughs at our offspring. So, at the end of the day, we just slap each other on the butts (like you did in high school volleyball) and say: “you really tried, and that’s all that matters…”
