Well we have made it to the end of the year, and that means the kids Christmas lists are here too...

Cath's son wants a hairstyle that she is not keen on but Sarah say's go for it! Take one guess at what that style is and Sarah has been having some awful dreams, but what do they MEAN?

Sarah took inspiration from Cath and tried putting crystals in her bra, but her boys decided the crystals had a better home!

We also have some sad news that we have to share but we will save that for the very end of the episode *Sad Face*

At The Top Of The Christmas List!

White Lies, Porkies, we all tell them and sometimes it is necessary to tell them to your kids.. but is Sarah setting a really bad example for the kids?

Louis is back from camp and put some of the skills he had learned to good use at home even though Cath wished he didn't!

Speaking of lies, Sarah got caught red handed, quite literally!

Caught Red Handed!

Cath has lost her son... but only for a few days at school camp! We reminisce about school camp and how much FUN it was...

Sarah has gotten herself into a Gingerbread house making day with the kids and Cath isn't happy she isn't invited!

We also talk about bunnies and eggs - Sarah asks a question you wont believe! 

A bit of a trigger warning for this episode - We will give you a little warning in the episode before we talk about a sensitive topic regarding the big guy with the red suit - You might want to skip that bit if you have little ones listening!

I Think I am Going To Cry!

Now we all know that Sarah is a "Never Nude" but it seems that everyone else in her household did not get the memo!

We also chat about screen time and how it can be bad for our kids if THEY have too much of it, but what happens if you, as a parent, are spending too much time on your phone or device?

Why Do Boys Do That?

This week we learned about Sarah's Scottish heritage and what is on her family crest.. 

Cath has been forgetting what she told her kid and he is not happy about it and Sarah has been telling lies about vegetables to get her kids to eat them.

Also, we talk about a great idea to get your kids to go to bed and STAY there!

It's Only Natural... Isn't It?

Sarah had a run in with her kids swimming instructor this week and we are still not sure who's side to be on...

Cath's son faked a sick day so he could stay home from school and the consequences were that he had to stay home with his mum. Bad move kid, bad move.

And what did someone on the team start that they wished they hadn't?
