From world records to classroom realities—this week had us inspired, overwhelmed, and questioning everything.

This week on Espresso Yourself, the girls are back with a packed short-week recap that somehow turned into anything but short. From major marathon moments (hello, London and Boston!) to gearing up for end-of-year chaos, it’s equal parts inspiring and exhausting.

Becky is staring down the reality of May madness—concerts, countdowns, performances, and marathon training on the horizon—while Allyson navigates testing season, shifting grade-level uncertainty, and a tough “teacher vs. mom” moment after Oliver’s first real school consequence. Katie brings updates from her district with big leadership changes and the ripple effects that come with them.

It’s a real, honest look at this time of year—when everything speeds up, emotions run high, and you’re just trying to keep up with it all while still showing up for your kids, your students, and yourself.

Spring break aftermath, baseball wins, wedding chaos, and one unexpected turn as a kitten midwife.

This week on Espresso Yourself, the girls are back after a few weeks off—and let’s just say… a LOT has happened. From spring break trips gone slightly off the rails to testing season kicking into high gear, it’s a full catch-up episode packed with real-life chaos.

Allyson shares baseball mom wins, wild cabin stories, and the reality of jumping straight from vacation into testing mode. Becky dives into end-of-year exhaustion, musical rehearsals, and preparing for a multi-day Indian wedding (with outfits, dances, and all the unknowns). And Katie brings the most unexpected story of all—helping a stray cat give birth and officially adding “country girl midwife” to her resume.

It’s messy, hilarious, and all over the place in the best way—just three teachers catching up on weeks of life that didn’t slow down for a second.

Relay recaps, low energy levels, book talk, countdown chaos, and the most unexpected classroom soft spot.

From relay race recaps and post-run exhaustion to classroom countdowns that feel slower than ever, it’s one of those weeks where the energy is low but the stories keep coming.They dive into current reads, real-life teacher chaos, and the kind of random classroom moments you truly can’t make up—including an unexpected soft spot for a tortoise that no one saw coming.It’s equal parts tired, chaotic, and hilarious… just the way we like it.

Spring break recaps, testing season stress, Texas stories, and more interruptions than we thought possible.

This week on Espresso Yourself, the girls catch up on spring break updates while real life refuses to let the recording go smoothly. Becky shares highlights from her Florida trip to spring training games (and her new Frozen Iguanas merch), Allyson is counting down the days until her break while juggling testing season, field trips, and a surprise prosthetic-eye moment mid-episode, and Katie brings another round of Texas stories—from rodeo chaos to relay race prep.

Between kids needing help, dogs snoring in the background, cooking questions, unexpected noises, and conversations going completely off track, this might be the most interrupted episode yet.

It’s spring fever, teacher life, mom life, and the kind of absurd, unplanned moments that somehow only happen when we hit record.

Spring break trips, sunburn stories, book fair plans, and the chaos of teachers all being on different schedules.

This week on Espresso Yourself, the girls are all in different phases of spring break — and the timing couldn’t feel more off. Becky is officially on break and enjoying the slower pace, Katie is coming off spring break with stories from the beach (and a painful sunburn to prove it), and Allyson is still counting down the days while trying to survive the longest week ever.

Becky shares the mixed emotions of realizing there are only a few weeks left with her class, plus a Color Dash mishap involving fire ants that made spring break arrive right on time. Katie recaps her break with a surprisingly perfect beach day, a trip to one of Texas’s most beloved grocery stores, and another wild rodeo fact you won’t believe. Meanwhile, Allyson is looking ahead to her upcoming break, planning a visit to a boozy adult book fair, and wondering why the weather always decides to tease warm spring days right before break.

It’s a little bit of everything this week — spring break recaps, spring break plans, teacher exhaustion, funny stories, and the usual chaos that happens when three teachers in three different states try to keep life straight.

Reading breakthroughs, curriculum shifts, rodeo stories, and the kind of weeks that remind us why we do this.This week on Espresso Yourself, the girls catch up on everything from classroom wins to big changes happening both in and out of school.

Becky shares a feel-good kindergarten moment about one student who started the year knowing almost nothing academically and is now proudly reading on her own — the kind of growth that reminds you why those early years matter so much. Allyson talks about finally feeling her spark for teaching again while also navigating major curriculum changes, testing pressure, and the excitement of a fully funded fourth-grade field trip. Meanwhile, Katie brings the Texas updates with rodeo season stories, mutton bustin’, and the start of spring break before her busiest stretch of the year begins.

It’s a mix of proud teacher moments, real-life stress, and the everyday chaos that somehow always turns into a good story.

A lime slush taste test turns into power surges, sourdough multitasking, kindergarten chaos, and a Texas rodeo takeover.This week on Espresso Yourself, a simple sip segment quickly spirals into full Type-C chaos. Katie and Becky both show up with the new Lime Slush Alani (key lime pie? green Skittles? the debate continues), while Allyson proudly sits this one out because lime is a hard pass. But the real story Allyson has been waiting to share involves a neighborhood power surge that fried several things in her house, including her beloved treadmill, leading to emergency workouts, borrowed Pelotons, and a temporary DIY fix.Meanwhile Becky recaps a week of sourdough baking, multitasking mom life, concession stand volunteering, and classic kindergarten moments, like the student who insisted saying “thank you” was simply too embarrassing. Katie rounds things out with the kickoff of Houston’s massive rodeo season, barbecue cook-offs, carnival rides, cowboy boots everywhere, and a concert lineup that sends Becky straight down a Google rabbit hole. From Alani sips to testing season to Texas traditions, this episode goes everywhere… because when life is Type-C, the stories never stay on one track. ☕
