Relaxing and summer go hand-in-hand - although, those magical moments aren't always easy to come by. But, how do we make sure we pause this summer? While we all share our ideas, no matter where you find yourself this summer, we hope you find a deep breath, some fresh air, a slower pace and some moments to soak up the shimmering summer goodness.

Bringing you a wealth of expertise today, we turn to Ashley. Ashley is a master nutrition coach who helps women break the cycle of dieting. Yes, she shares her incredible perspectives with us weekly, but this week we all had the opportunity ask for her guidance. See, Ashley's depth of knowledge, experience coaching clients (including Emilee and Kim!) and unique fire about how to nourish ourselves, runs deeper than food.

We are in for a major treat here!! In honor of Mother's Day, we went to the women, the myths, the legends - our own moms! Yes, we each asked our mom to share a tidbit of what they have learned during this thing called motherhood. All together they bring over 250 years of being called "mom," have 17 kids and 30 grandchildren. They are known as Nana, Ahma and Gigi and to us - Mom. They are who we turn to on good days and challenging days and it only seems fitting to turn to th

Whether it is simply a favorite or if it quietly fits in all the right ways, these beverages are the ones we turn to on the right occasion. More than ever, as Rebecca, Ashley and Jen note, it is quality over quantity and a well-made beverage just hits. Just as with each of us, no two are the same. But, if we were to raise a glass and toast - it would be a very pretty cheers!

In one way or another, AI is becoming more and more a part of daily life. We've all heard the discussions around "the wild, wild west," the gold rush of AI, how kids use AI in school, AI-generated images and the power this resource has to change daily tasks. So, here 6 moms all share just how we are using AI "as a tool, not a crutch", as Ashley explained. As something we will all undoubtedly learn more about, here is a collection of how we're turned to AI, so far.

School lunches can run the gamut - from the ever familiar PB&J to a high schooler who goes out to lunch, eat kiddo has a different preference. With 18 kids among us, we each share how we handle this mid-day meal (or heavy snack), if we pack a lunch, when and some favorites. And, see how lunch at school pairs with an after school meal that for some is even more fortifying.

As a woman's leadership coach, keynote speaker, podcast host, and mom, Rebecca shares guidance on many stages - all over the country. And, this week she's spilling her goodness here! We each asked Rebecca for advice on a challenge in our worlds as moms, small business owners, volunteers and leaders in our own rights.

Maybe you grew up with all of your extended family nearby or maybe they are scattered all over the country. The ease staying connected can be influenced by proximity, but it can also be influenced by effort - and technology.

Something so simple as a cup of coffee or tea has a lovely way of becoming cherished daily ritual. As Emilee shares, "I saw online someone say they are at the age that at bedtime they are already thinking about their excitement for tomorrow’s cup of coffee. I feel that." And, Ashley shares, "It’s less about the caffeine and more about the ritual. It’s comforting. It’s grounding. It just feels like me." So, today we share just what we fill our mugs with - and how.

From the planning to the packing, preparing for a trip involves countless steps before we're ready for take off. Whether we are packing for ourselves (or overpacking!), helping our kids get ready or getting all the ducks in a row that make travel more seamless, each step gets us closer to having a great vacation.

How sweet it is to have a favorite sweet treat! And, how much sweeter it is to have a go-to recipe when the mood, the day or the special event calls for a homemade dessert. Well, all of these recipes shared below are just that - our tried and true go-to sweet recipes that we've turned to time and time again.

The goodness that comes from getting together with great friends can really be something special. After all, we're here trying our best to replicate that feeling! Sure, we connect in the group chat, but below we share our favorite ways to see each other - in person. Find how one-on-one meet ups are serving us, how bookclubs, gym dates, walks and lunches not only make, but hold space for building and maintaining some of our favorite relationships.

There are 18 kids between our Spilling Goodness group of 6 moms. And, each one of them is unique, every day brings something new and every season we're learning about a new interest, milestone or challenge. As Emilee notes, "Parenting sure is a wild ride." Chatting about how we see, appreciate and react to the unique qualities of our children, we come back to fairness and connection.

As 6 moms, we have all come to recognize the power of rest. Whether through a joyful activity, meditation, tucking away with a book, a nap or simply pressing pause, rest isn't a luxury, it is what fuels our full lives. We have all been in the "do more, accomplish more, keep going" cycle at times of our lives - and one way or another the need for rest becomes evident.

This week, we give the mic to our husbands! In honor of Valentine's Day, we flipped the script and we each asked our husbands to answer a question about us. With a list of questions to pick from, not only was is so fun to learn about each other in a different way, but it was so interesting to hear how our own hubby each answered the question.

Game changers. That's how each of us described the things we've woven into our lives to make them a little more effiicient. As 6 moms with 18 kids combined, there are a lot of balls in the air - constantly. So, any trick we've uncovered that streamlines life a little bit - we're here for it.

We are all officially "of the age" when we know what our skin likes - and are firmly on the SPF train. While all of our skincare routines differ a bit based on our skin types and preferences - we unanimously agree that a good SPF must be part of the mix. Check out how we each care for our skin below. As Ashley puts it, "Consistency over perfection—that’s the real glow-up."

It is easy to say, "A penny saved is a penny earned," (thank you Benjamin Franklin!), but how do you teach your kids about what things cost, about saving for bigger purchase, about saving for their future and about meeting needs and then wants? As Rebecca shares, "It’s a lot of conversations, a lot of honesty, and no shame."

Building systems and routines that help you get more accomplished or enjoy a moment more thoroughly - we're here for it. But, how? The idea of habit stacking includes taking one thing that is already an established part of your life (say brushing your teeth) and adding something to it. The established routine helps you hold on to the new addition and eventually it all becomes second nature - or, a habit. As Emilee put it, "The goal is to combine two action items and knock t

When we turn the page on the calendar, this often prompts people to take stock - what was accomplished or enjoyed in 2025 and how do we hope 2026 unfolds? This week, we each share how we approach a fresh year - whether that means a word of the year, new goals, family resolutions, setting intentions or just living life another day at a time. We hope you see yourself in one of these approaches, or perhaps this provides some inspiration for your own march into the new year.
