The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 40

Hi, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we head home from visiting family in northern Wisconsin today and, man… There is just something about being in the middle of nowhere where the air is crisp and clean and the stars shine so brightly at night. It’s a little slice of heaven.

Stay tuned tomorrow for our second Gift Guide! This time it’s all about the little ones…

Should a political candidate’s health come into play in term’s of his/her fitness to serve? Should it be public knowledge? Should presidential candidates be required to complete a cognitive test? Jay and I discuss (and disagree on) this issue. Plus, I share a Selena and Hailey update (DID YOU SEE THE PIC?) and we talk about a whole lot of 90’s nostalgia and a few Wait. What? moments…

The One With OJ Simpson and Dead Duck Day – Brand New Information

Today Jay and Suzanne commemorate two infamous 1990s events – OJ Simpson’s Ford Bronco slow speed police chase and… Dead Duck Day? Plus, on this week’s Fibronostalgia – Did you know you could break a Hypercolor shirt? Jay and Suzanne know, because they did! And Suzanne’s fibronostalgia breaks the fourth wall to examine the meaning that nostalgia has in our lives. Follow Jay on Instagram & Twitter, and Suzanne on Instagram!

On Monday, we had a solo episode! I answered your questions about cravings and anxiety, which led me to a discussion about counting days. Does it help you feel empowered in sobriety? If it doesn’t and instead feels punitive, this episode is for you.

Friday was another bonus episode with another “real mom,” Sarah. If you’re sober curious and aren’t exactly sure how alcohol fits into your life, I think you’ll find this conversation so helpful.

Standing Confidently in Your Sobriety with Sydney Allen – The Sober Mom Life

Sobriety and parenting writer Sydney Allen was still in her 20s when she chose sobriety. She hadn’t had a rock bottom. She hadn’t experienced all of the terrible things that could happen with alcohol. Yet she could still tell – her gray area drinking was unhealthy, and alcohol was going to take more and more away from her if she continued to drink. So, she cut it out of her life in 2022. Explaining her sobriety to her friends and family, though? That felt like a challenge. People didn’t understand. She didn’t look like she had a problem… why did she need to quit? Today, Sydney shares how she navigated her emotions and the emotions of others through the different stages of her sobriety, why boundaries and honesty have been instrumental to solidifying her sobriety in a way that uniquely fits her, and the things she loves to do (and doesn’t love to do!) in sobriety. Plus – Sydney is our first Gen Z sober mom on the show (we’re spanning generations here)! We’ll talk about how Gen Z drinking culture differs from the other generations and her experience of still being quite young as she navigates sobriety.  Read more from Sydney on her Substack, This Is Not Okay.

what I wore last week…

(The only problem with my new Prada shearling slides? I can’t NOT wear them every single day. They’re too crazy comfy.)

I shared this faux fur jacket in my Five Favorite post last Friday because it’s a hands down favorite. I wear it for everyday #momlife because why the hell not. My utility pants are on sale and a great jeans alternative. They’re high-waisted and super comfy.

We sold out this gorgeous cardigan earlier this fall, but it’s been restocked! Some sizes are on preorder, but I highly suggest ordering it if you were bummed that you missed out on it the first time. I get compliments every time I wear it. I’m wearing XS.

I’ll be wearing this Pro Roe sweatshirt everyday between now and the mid-terms…

don’t miss…
