My good friend recently introduced me to Audiobooks! What an awesome thing to have in my life. I literally went from, I don’t know the last time I read a book to reading Rachel Hollis’ book – Girl, Wash Your Face, in TWO days! It was the ultimate binge, but put on my ear buds and listened while I did my errands, cleaned the house, and more! If you are interested in my Audiobooks list, click here!

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood by Margaret Ables and Amy Wilson
Hosted by funny moms Margaret Ables (Nick Mom) and Amy Wilson (When Did I Get Like This?), “What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood” is a comedy podcast solving today’s parenting dilemmas so you don’t have to. We’re both moms of three, dealing with the same hassles as any parent, albeit with slightly differing styles. Margaret is laid-back to the max; Amy never met an expert or a list she didn’t like. In each episode, we discuss a parenting issue from multiple perspectives and the accompanying expert advice that may or may not back us up. We talk about it, laugh about it, call out each other’s nonsense, and then we come up with concrete solutions.
Join us as we laugh in the face of motherhood! Winner of the 2018 Mom 2.0 Iris Award for Best Podcast, the 2017 Podcast Awards People’s Choice for Best Family and Parenting Podcast, and thebump.com “Best Parenting Podcast.” whatfreshhellpodcast.com
