The Sunday Sweet Edit | No. 40

Hi, sweet friends! This Sunday Sweet Edit we head home from visiting family in northern Wisconsin today and, man… There is just something about being in the middle of nowhere where the air is crisp and clean and the stars shine so brightly at night. It’s a little slice of heaven.

Stay tuned tomorrow for our second Gift Guide! This time it’s all about the little ones…

Should a political candidate’s health come into play in term’s of his/her fitness to serve? Should it be public knowledge? Should presidential candidates be required to complete a cognitive test? Jay and I discuss (and disagree on) this issue. Plus, I share a Selena and Hailey update (DID YOU SEE THE PIC?) and we talk about a whole lot of 90’s nostalgia and a few Wait. What? moments…

The One With The World Trade Center Bombing and Sick Days – Brand New Information

Jay takes us back to the first botched attempt at destroying the World Trade Center in 1993 and explores how 9/11 felt like the true end to the 90s. Suzanne reminisces about Third Eye Blind’s Semi-Charmed Life and how it felt like an anthem written just for her (despite the fact it was an anthem written for crystal meth). Jay shares his yearning to go back to a pre-smartphone life, and Suzanne shares her yearning to return to a time of special sick day TV. Plus – that time Suzanne swallowed a drill bit, all the whitewashing of drug use in rock docudramas, and the song that kept playing as Suzanne rolled her car when she was sixteen. Follow Jay on Instagram & Twitter, and Suzanne on Instagram!

On Monday, we had a solo episode! I answered your questions about cravings and anxiety, which led me to a discussion about counting days. Does it help you feel empowered in sobriety? If it doesn’t and instead feels punitive, this episode is for you.

Friday was another bonus episode with another “real mom,” Sarah. If you’re sober curious and aren’t exactly sure how alcohol fits into your life, I think you’ll find this conversation so helpful.

Carl Radke of Summer House on Discovering Yourself in Sobriety – The Sober Mom Life

Carl Radke of Bravo’s Summer House joins Suzanne and Katie to talk about his sobriety journey and his wonderful book Cake Eater: A Journey of Self Discovery. Carl will share his history with alcohol and cocaine, the challenges he experienced with moderation, how the heartbreaking passing of his brother ultimately led him to choosing sobriety, what it has been like to go through growth in front of reality TV cameras, the importance of community in his recovery, and how sharing his story through his book and his new podcast More Life has helped him find purpose through his story. Community makes all the difference. Join The Sober Mom Life Cafe for 6+ Peer Support meetings each week and a private Facebook group to connect with sober and sober-curious women. Get Your Copy of my book!

what I wore last week…

(The only problem with my new Prada shearling slides? I can’t NOT wear them every single day. They’re too crazy comfy.)

I shared this faux fur jacket in my Five Favorite post last Friday because it’s a hands down favorite. I wear it for everyday #momlife because why the hell not. My utility pants are on sale and a great jeans alternative. They’re high-waisted and super comfy.

We sold out this gorgeous cardigan earlier this fall, but it’s been restocked! Some sizes are on preorder, but I highly suggest ordering it if you were bummed that you missed out on it the first time. I get compliments every time I wear it. I’m wearing XS.

I’ll be wearing this Pro Roe sweatshirt everyday between now and the mid-terms…

don’t miss…

Madewell’s buy more, save more sale is on! Save 25% off $100+ and 30% off $200+.

Did you see? I shared my Five Favorite | Fall Jackets post on Friday!

This rain jacket from The North Face was the best seller of the post so far…
