Surprise! Finally here is our "season finale" from our last season. It's fine to giggle a little. I'm giggling too as I type this. But this final episode is really fun and thought provoking because we discuss two short documentaries. First, we discuss the 9 minute documentary (yes, you read that correctly) Single Mother Only Daughter. Here is the synopsis from directornotes.com: "In Single Mother Only Daughter Hong Kong born, Los Angeles filmmaker Ellie Wen has created a touching documentary exposing her own painfully honest and complex relationship with her mother. The piece is a revealing ca ..read more

Surprise! Yes, we FINALLY have a new episode to you all. I (Pamela) apologize for being so, so late getting this episode out, but I promise this episode is a great one. We are discussing the documentary, Bethany Hamilton - Unstoppable and it is incredible. Here is the synopsis of the film.  "One of the most accomplished athletes of her generation, Bethany Hamilton, became a surfing wunderkind when she returned to the sport following a devastating shark attack at age 13. As she continues to chase waves, she also now tackles motherhood." Also, sorry for y'all being able to hear me breathe s ..read more

Hey listeners! Yes, this is late still (I have a four year old who no longer wants to sleep without me), but so worth a listen!

Hi listeners. This is Pamela and I am leaving you a quick note about why we didn't have a new episode this week. We will have a new episode next Wednesday, April 7 and in my message, I let you know what we are reviewing. (Also, I am whispering because I am trying to get my toddler to nap. You can faintly hear her in the background begging to get up.) Cheers!  ..read more

When we started Motherhood On Tap, we wanted to share our own struggles with parenting, but also understand other mothers out there and what they are facing and how we as a whole, as mothers, can help each other through these struggles. So we decided we would discuss issues that mothers of color face still in today's society. We hope this episode demonstrates how we stand in solidarity with people of color and the BLM movement.

As the world continues the various lockdowns for COVID-19, we continue our check-ins through Zoom and tell each other how we are holding up. We are both having some good days and some bad days and we know you all are too. Side note, this episode was recorded several weeks ago before the death of George Floyd and the protests going on. We wanted to make you all aware of our sensitivity to this issue and why we did not post this episode last week. As always, we hope our show brings you some laughs as well as confirmation that we are all in this together ..read more

Hi, mamas. Sarah here. On behalf of Pamela and myself, I am here to say that Motherhood on Tap condemns all forms of racism and violence. We, along with many others in the podcasting community, mourn the loss of all those whose lives have ended as a result of senseless brutality. To show our support for people of color, we are participating in this week’s podcast blackout and will not be posting our regular episode today. Pamela and I are well aware that we are two white women and that we exist within a society where we benefit from the color of our skin. It is likely that a lot of our l ..read more

We have all been stuck at home now for several weeks due to the COVID-19 virus and feeling a little stir crazy. We decided to "meet up" through a Zoom call and record a check-in episode for you all. Sound quality may not be the best since it was over Zoom and we also had to record really late at night after our children went to bed. We hope you enjoy us discussing the hardships of working from home with kids and trying to entertain them ..read more

So, we all need a break and some fun, especially right now, so we decided to quiz each other and have some laughs. This was recorded before all of the quarantines happening all over our state and the country, but not a bad idea for a potential Zoom mommies call over coffee or other tasty beverages and quiz each other for a few laughs. We have some links in the show notes where we found our quizzes for this episode. We hope all of our listeners are staying safe and healthy. Thanks for letting us entertain you!Quizzeshttps://www.mom365.com/mom/mom-quizzes/mom-personality-quizhttps://www.bustle.c ..read more

We don't always admit that there are things we must do as moms that we completely hate. We want to hide, secretly roll our eyes, or pretend we absolutely love it while moaning on the inside. This episode covers all of that! Sarah and Pamela discuss the things they hate the most with motherhood. Please note, we are not saying we hate being moms or hate motherhood at all! What we are saying is there are some tasks or responsibilities as moms that we do not like/care for/want to do. We think this topic is so relevant now during our social distancing! Grab something good to drink and see if you ag ..read more
