Is complimenting another woman flirting… or is it actually a sign of a secure relationship? This week on Between Us Moms, we're getting into the conversations everyone seems to have an opinion about!

This week on Between Us Moms, we are ALL over the place in the best way possible!

We debate the absolutely insane cost of toddler birthday parties and try to figure out what’s actually reasonable to spend in this economy… because between groceries, inflation, and Pinterest-worthy parties, parenting is getting EXPENSIVE.

We also spira...

This week, Hallie shares her “Nays of the Week” and reveals that her almost 4-year-old daughter may already be a mini Anna Wintour in the making. She didn’t expect such strong fashion opinions — or so much shade — from someone who still needs help buckling into a car seat.
