Send us Fan Mail One question can pull up a whole childhood: what would happen if your mama watched your kids for a week? We go straight to the heart of that thought and laugh about the “grandma standards” we grew up with, then get honest about what those rules gave us and what they cost us. We talk about the feeling of mama’s house, the smells and the quiet routines, and the tiny details that never leave you, like Sunday cooking after church and the shock of seeing someone dice a hot potato right in their hand like it’s nothing. That leads to a bigger conversation about Cajun family traditions, comfort food, and the way something as simple as jarred melatons with rice and gravy can bring a whole kitchen back to life in your mind. From there, we connect the past to modern motherhood and parenting: why it’s hard to stay on top of mess, how discipline really works day to day, and why kids can behave perfectly for grandparents but unravel the moment they’re back with us. We dig into the “safe space” idea, after-school exhaustion, and the complicated emotions that come with being the person your child trusts most. We also touch on the grief that shows up when you can’t go back, when the old house is gone, and the memory becomes the place you protect. If you’ve ever missed a grandparent’s home, questioned your parenting, or just wanted a warm, real conversation with Louisiana flavor, press play.
