The Ladies Auxiliary Podcast: Real Housewives Edition

Posted on by theladiesauxiliary301

This week we had a special guest, who invited herself because of our topic: The Real Housewives. You HAVE to listen to this episode. Vickie considers herself the O.G. of Real Housewives. She’s the one who introduced Sam to the franchise! Click below to listen!

Episode 3 features a special guest and ALL about The Real Housewives

We each wrote our own taglines:
Meghan: I’m like champagne – push me too far, and I might pop
Sam: I may be blind, but I still see everything.
Carrie: Married for ten years, 2 great kids, and still waiting to feel like a grown up.
Carrie’s Alternate: I may be late, but you can always rely on me.
Nicole: I always follow the rules: Wash your hands and don’t spill the wine.
Vickie: I may shovel shit, but that doesn’t mean I need to put up with yours!

Sam came up with some other ones for us, too. They were so good, we’re afraid we might lose her to Bravo. They’re going to hire her as their new tagline writer! Ask your friends to write taglines for you – you won’t regret it.

One of Teresa’s BEST moments on RHONJ

We also talked “What Would You Do If…”
The housewives have put themselves in some pretty CRAZY situations over the years, so we talked about how we would respond or if these situations were ever appropriate or applicable in real life. For example, is it ever acceptable to try to flip a table in anger?

We also talked about LVP’s and Doggie-gate! What really happened to Lucy Lucy Apple Juice and Dorit? Who is telling the truth? Why is Teddy in the middle? Will this continue to dominate the entire show?

Also, how HILARIOUS is that caption: Dorit’s FORMER dog?

We gifted Vickie with a wine glass to thank her for coming to our meeting! (Photo below!) If you want your VERY OWN Ladies Auxiliary wine glass, follow these THREE steps:

Meeting Notes: Episode 2

Posted on by theladiesauxiliary301

Another week, another meeting! It was fantastic being back for another episode of The Ladies Auxiliary! First, check out episode 2 of the podcast below!

This week, we covered a wide variety of topics, starting with St. Patricks Day and ending with your favorite sporting event! We had a BLAST going out for St. Patrick’s Day…but we definitely aren’t as young as we used to be. We were headed home by 10:30. We ate at Gerrryowen – the Irish pub. The highlight of the night for Carrie was this Brie appetizer. It was AMAZING.

It was even more delicious than it looks!

Have you ever looked up your Zodiac sign? It is one of our guilty pleasures. The fact that astrology is such an old study is fascinating. We looked up all the characteristics of our star signs: Virgo, Cancer, Virgo/Leo Cusp and Sagittarius. Find out if we match our Zodiac signs or not. Find us on social media (@Ladiesaux4) and tell us if your personality matches your Zodiac. More importantly, the real question is, can you blame your most annoying traits on your Zodiac? I think our answer is unanimous! Listen in to see what we think.

We would be remiss if we didn’t talk about the college admissions cheating scandal and the Bachelor finale, both which were highly controversial. We have positive feelings about one, and lots of negatives about the other. Tune in to find out!

Somehow we ended up trying to sign off, but then talking sports. Tweet at us to tell us what your favorite sport is! It may not be one of the ones we named, or maybe you have something in common with us!

Thanks SO MUCH for listening to episode two! Next week, we’re talking ALL things Real Housewives and we have a special guest coming to join us. It’s going to be AMAZING!

Meeting Minutes: Episode 1

Posted on by theladiesauxiliary301

Listen here:

We are SO EXCITED to share our first podcast with you! There was so much to talk about and we had a blast! We promised to share some photos and articles from some of our topics, so check out our meeting notes below!

The weekend recap gave us a chance to talk about how hard dog parenting is. Puppies are not easy y’all. It might be harder than a kid! Tune in to hear why Sam thinks so. We also checked out one of our favorite places, Adams County Winery, to test out their NEW canned wine. Sam tried some live on the podcast. If you’ve tried it, and you definitely should try it, let us know what you think!

The big news from the weekend, besides the engagement of J-Lo and A-rod was Daylight Savings…we had a little guessing game to try to figure out who we should blame for Daylight Savings Time. Here’s a photo of Nicole’s guess, Rutherford B. Hayes. More on him in a later podcast!

A young Rutherford, looking like a snack.

A little later, we talked about the crazy, but sadly true, story of the woman who was attacked by a jaguar in Arizona. As an update to this story, she claims she wasn’t trying to get a selfie, but someone please explain what else she was doing? You can read more about this story here.

This led to a (not so) brief conversation about other zoo and wildlife encounters. Little did we know, the best story was coming up…a MAN WAS SWALLOWED BY A WHALE AND LIVED TO TELL ABOUT IT!

You have to watch this video. We had to discuss: Would you rather be chased by a land animal or attacked by a sea animal? Tweet at us: @LadiesAux4 and let us know what you think!

Also, did you know that a new species of Orca may have recently been discovered? Listen to our podcast for more details, and check out National Geographic’s article on it here!

Now that the Bachelor is over, we were able to see how the finale played out. Check out the podcast to hear our predictions and see if we were right! We’ll be giving our thoughts on the finale next week, so no need to worry about spoilers from last night’s episode if you haven’t watched yet! But do yourself a favor and go home and watch. It was “the most dramatic finale ever!”

Finally, thank you SO MUCH for tuning in and giving us a listen. Find us on social media to share your thoughts and connect with us. We’re already gearing up for next week’s episode and would love to hear from you!

The Journey Begins

Posted on by theladiesauxiliary301

Welcome to the Ladies Auxiliary!

Nicole here!

Merriam-Webster defines a ladies auxiliary as “an organization of women that is auxiliary usually to a men’s fraternal or social organization.”

Truth be told, we aren’t connected to any specific organization. We are the ladies auxiliary of life! Our ladies auxiliary consists of a small group of amazing ladies who do life together. We talk about everything (and anything) and share the best and worst of life.  We’ve been having these “meetings” for years and are finally ready to share them. The idea of connecting with people through social media has been bouncing around for awhile, but we’ve decide to bite the bullet and make it happen.

I’m super confident that we can’t be the only ones in the world to have these conversations, so we hope you’ll be able to relate and connect with us. Here on the blog, you’ll find ways to connect with us across social media platforms here and we’ll be posting our podcasts too. You’ll also find goodies connected to our podcast episodes. Be on the look-out for our first episode, coming soon!

Can’t wait to get started!
