When is the Baby Coming?
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!We’re back with another episode full of unexpected stories, deep convos, and of course — a healthy dose of chaos 😅We kicked things off with a wild raccoon story involving Sara’s mom (yes, seriously 🦝), followed by some updates on her 5K training journey 🏃🏽♀️. Then things took a turn… and somehow we ended up talking about snails and ants again — don’t ask how, just ride with us 🐌🐜We also reflected on surviving this never-ending winter (even though it’s basically summer now 🤧), and got a little introspective talking about when we first thought we’d have kids — and how that timeline definitely shifted.Later in the episode, we touched on what it means to mourn the future we once imagined, and explored what’s currently unfolding across Africa — is a revolution brewing? 🌍And as always, we closed things off with some COMMENT COMMENTARY — y’all always come through in the comments and we love you for it ❤️WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!WE LOVE YALL!

Planning the Perfect Wedding
HAPPY THURSDAY COUSINS!!!!We’re back with a nice long episode to make up for the past couple weeks 😮💨First up, Sara recaps her AMAZING bachelorette weekend, and Amir might be training for a full marathon??? (Spoiler: he’s not 😂). We also get into the chaos that is GTA weather, why packing is a sport for women, and why we take mental notes at weddings now 📝Of course, we couldn’t resist dreaming up our if-money-wasn’t-a-problem weddings, navigating the struggle of explaining cultural traditions to our non-Ethiopian friends, AND trying to make sense of Canada’s recent “election” (was it even an election if nothing changed? 🫠)Later on, Sara’s considering full-time housewife life 👀, we talk about the Freedom Flotilla, and why it seems every person of colour you know has a side hustle 💼It’s a mix of laughs, hot takes, and a sprinkle of chaos — just how you like it.WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS EPISODE!!!!Thank you guys so much for always rocking with us!
