About this episode

Sarah and Teresa share their experiences from a chaotic and magical double-family RV trip.

This week on the podcast, Sarah and Teresa debrief their epic double-family hangout and all the beautiful chaos that came with it. From the sight of Tez and Mark’s 30ft RV parked right out front of Sarah and Eric’s house for two days straight, a glimpse of full-on family commune living of our dreams, to skate park adventures, evening walks, ATV rides, Bodhi & Wyatt’s budding band career, the girls dive into the kids’ dynamics, the dreamy days in Santa Barbara, Sarah’s nanny Sonya’s chef-level cooking, and all the magic that unfolds when the Olsens and Palmers collide. Tez also unpacks the full RV trip from Vancouver to LA, just her, Mark, her mum, and the five kids thrown into tight living quarters. From campground stopovers that felt straight out of another era, to middle-of-the-night customs drama, to sleep-deprived kids, delirious adults (including Teresa’s mum’s unwavering go-with-the-flow vibes), chronic overpacking, nonstop boardgaming (the stuff of Tez’s dreams), and a strict “no ferals” level of hygiene (aka no shits on the floor!!), it was a whirlwind from start to finish. Equal parts mishaps, magic, and mayhem, laughing through the chaos and somehow making core memories…
