Über diesen Titel

Hi there! We are Karen and Alexie, two Mums; one in the UK and one in the US who also happen to be best friends. In our podcast you'll find all things parenting and beyond. We don't sugarcoat our approach to raising the 5 tiny humans we have between us and openly discuss our challenges and struggles to be the best parent we can be while also learning along the way. We are The Crashtest Mummies... why don't you join us for a natter?

  • The Silver Linings in Lockdown
    Jul 7 2020
    Reading actual books, binge watching HBO shows and guilt-free 'me-time'... these are a few of the silver linings we have found to have emerged during the past 100+ days in this strange reality that we call 'lockdown'. In this episode, we try to look beyond the monotony, the homeschooling, the cabin fever to see the good during this time. Without the constraints of the school-run and fixed working hours, our days have opened up some much needed 'quiet time' in which we have indulged ourselves in putting ourselves first for a change, as let's face it - having the kids at home for this long is a whole new level of stress. We talk Crime Junkie, American Dirt and Big Little Lies, and if you don't know what they are, I encourage you to have a listen!

  • Homeschooling: An Honest Review
    May 29 2020
    So we've lost count of how many weeks into lockdown we are in, and the uncharted waters of homeschooling has become our new 'normal' but what do we really feel about it all? In this episode we talk openly about how we are finding educating our children at home; the highs and the lows and what advice we would give our former selves in preparation for these unprecedented times!

  • What we DON'T do as parents
    May 12 2020
    You know the phrase 'you can do anything but you can't do everything?' Well in this episode, we open up about about some of the things that you may be expected to do as perfect parents but have completely scrapped from our manuals. One of us doesn't iron ANYTHING, the other doesn't do family dinners, but that doesn't make us bad parents... our kids still wear clothes (allbeit crumpled) and we still feed our kids! Sometimes it's important to take a step back and look at what's expected of you as a parent versus reality and to realise that your 'normal' isn't really all that bad now, is it? We've avoided talking about the 'C' word this week (no, not that one, the other one!) because Coronavirus can just do one at this point. So if you have a spare half hour (and if you don't, just pretend the kids are at school and make time!) and join us to hear just how terrible we are at this parenting gig - you won't believe some of the things we don't do!
