Chances are that even if you don't hear the words, "You have breast cancer," a woman in your life will. With 1 in 8 women facing breast cancer, these are not just numbers, they are our friends, neighbors, mother and sisters. Following Part 1, we're honored to share two more incredible survivors’ stories. Leena and Dana each answered four questions and share details of what unfolded after they heard those 4 words below.

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime. 1 in 8. In light of National Breast Cancer Awareness month, we are honored to share the stories, insights, wisdom and really, really big hearts of four very generous and brave breast cancer survivors. We asked each incredible woman four questions and they graciously shared a glimpse of their journeys - we'll share two here and two in part 2. Meet Beth and Heather below -

With 15 kids between the 5 of us, we have a plethora of birthday party stories we could share! From the parties with all the pomp and circumstance, to an outing for a few friends and the parties where the venue handles everything for you - we’ve tried it all. And, as with many things, the parties have evolved over the years and vary from kid to kid (and mom to mom!).

How would you fill in this blank? Sit with that for a moment. What pops in your mind? This post was inspired by the wonderful team at Soleo Wellness - who are on a mission to change how mothers are supported because they believe deeply that moms deserve better. And, the more we normalize honest conversations about motherhood, the less alone mothers feel. As a group of 6 moms + the many moms at Soleo, we share how we fill in this blank...

To be honest, this feels like a dream. Kim here and as the "editor" of Spilling Goodness, I usually use this space to introduce our conversation or our experts and share a little bit about them that you may not already know. And, this week, I was the lucky duck who was able to step on to this stage and answer some fantastic questions. While I’ve loved interior design for what feels like my whole life (even using Rolling Stones magazine covers as sudo wallpaper in college!),

Whether a television series, movie or book provides a nostalgic respite, an energizing story line or bits of wisdom, going back to our favorites can be just what we need. While we each share our favorites below, another interesting tidbit you'll see is how these stories bring us together with some of our favorite people. Ashley shares a show she's enjoyed (fully locked in and no phones!) with her husband while Jen and Kim share shows they've returned to with their daughters

We've all been there - staring at the fridge wishing it would tell us what's for dinner. And, while meal prepping can be incredibly helpful, what we all realize is that meal prepping actually starts with the meal plan. We start with looking out to the week and getting a step ahead with a plan- that may range from home cooked meals, to simple favorites or a meal delivery membership. And, then comes the prepping.

With the start of the school year, it can be a fun time to think about trying something new OR dusting off a once loved pastime and getting reacquainted. This question can be a fun conversation starter among friends, family or colleagues. While a few of us have some new things we want to try, Rebecca and Ashley bring up a fantastic perspective. As Rebecca put it, "I feel so scattered these days; I could use the opportunity to feel accomplished at something I already know br

Asking and expecting our kids to help around the house can take many forms. While kids contributions are actually helpful, they are also learning along the way - not only how to do the task, but why it matters, how they make an impact and how they are a part of something bigger (in this case a lovely family!). 5 moms share what works for our families.

It seems only fitting that Jen answered all of our top travel questions just before taking off for the most complex trip she's ever planned - Japan! While Jen's love of traveling with her own family runs deep, her and her team of travel planners have guided and planned some truly special trips for hundreds of families. Passionate about exploring the world, helping families make memories and really experience other cultures, she graciously shares her tips and insights below.

Our kids were born into a world with social media. While we may have checked AOL Instant Messenger away messages in college, that's the equivalent of a carrier pigeon to what they have at their fingertips today. And, the waters for how manage this world are muddy - at best. Since several of our Spilling Goodness moms are on just the cusp of this challenge, we've tapped into two guest mom contributors. They are moms of older kids and generously added their experience to the

There's no doubt that the algorithm is trying to figure out just what to slip into our feeds to see if we'll click through. Sometimes, we find fantastic recommendations and other times we end up with duds. Think of this as the highs and l ows of what we've been influenced to purchase. On either side of the coin, we'd share these successes or cautionary tales with our deerest friends.

Let's talk about the speed of summer - yes, it does seem to fly by, but overall how does a summer day feel? Rushed, on-the-go, scheduled, "full" OR slower, unscheduled, wandering and "open"? Either way, when we settle into the rhythm of our summers, do our kids get bored? Get busy? Get creative? Or, get curious?

To quote Harry Styles, "Watermelon sugar high!" Or, shall we say, "Watermelon sugar - Hi!"?? Bringing a lighter look at a summer favorite today - the little "ah" that comes from a perfectly sweet summer watermelon. On a hot day, poolside, pre-cut, mixed into a mocktail (or cocktail), added to a salad, happily on a plate next to something grilled - let us count the (little) ways that watermelon is such a simple treat.

Their love of reading is contagious, it feels like they have collectively read every book on the planet and combined they spill so much goodness while wheeling their Book Club Cart. And, today we have the treat of bringing both their passion for reading and their practical advice to some of our biggest questions. We are asking Ali and Emilee about all things reading related!

Who better to share why dads are so incredible than our children? In honor of Father's Day, we asked our kids to each answer a question about their dad. These three questions shine a light on their special relationships, connection and the countless lessons dads teach - often without even knowing it. As our best partners in parenting, it is extra special to hear how our kids feel their love. We hope these questions help as conversations starters.

Defining just exactly what mom guilt feels like isn't as easy as it sounds. Many sources note that it is a nagging feeling that you're not doing enough or being enough as a mom. Other sources note that it is the feeling of not living up to the expectations in our role as "mom." Perhaps it feels like you're being pulled in different directions and have a hard time knowing if we're doing it "right." With all the thoughts that follow, you'll see...

Road trips - love them or hate them, inevitably how the hours pass has much to do with the preparation. What are the essential must haves? What keeps everyone happy for the long haul? By and large we agree on snacks - and read on for the specific ideas. Plus, find the best items we have always handy for entertainment, cleanliness and sanity. Rebecca's crew has some serious expertise - as she shares, "Things don’t usually get hostile until hour 12. Anything shorter than that

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.
