We celebrated TWENTY-FIVE meetings this episode! Check out our episode below!
The University of Tennessee
We talked about a boy in elementary school who was bullied about his homemade University of Tennessee. After hearing about it, the University created a t-shirt for sale that matched the one the boy made! How awesome is that? All the proceeds will go to the charity Stomp out Bullying. We’ve got an update for you that’s even BETTER.
First, the University has offered the fourth grade a full four year scholarship to the University of Tennessee, starting in the fall after his senior year of high school. Over the weekend, the University of Tennessee marching band wore the matching t-shirts at the football game.

If you are a diehard fan of The Bachelorette, like we are here at The Ladies Auxiliary, then you know we have seen some really great Bachelorettes (Andi and Kaitlyn come to mind immediately.) When we first heard the news that Hannah would be cast, we worried. She was not very well-spoken on Colton’s season of The Bachelor. It seemed like she had a really hard time with the process and we felt like we didn’t know if we could hang with her for an entire season.
Now, 10 weeks in to Hannah’s journey, we can’t imagine Bachelor Nation without her. Hannah is the breath of fresh air this series needed SO BADLY. What do we love about Hannah? She’s quirky, goofy, not afraid to be herself, and her accent gets real thick when she’s getting worked up. Most importantly, she’s a bad ass. She hasn’t been afraid to stand up for herself ALL SEASON and she has repeatedly shut these guys down when they started acting ridiculous. As a result, she’s ended up in the final four with some really great guys (Tyler, Peter, we’re looking at you!)
We’ve been proud of Hannah so many times this season, but there has been ONE thing that’s been bothering us a little bit. Hannah has been strong, confident, outspoken, and honest throughout this process, beyond what we’ve been able to see a lead do before…and yet…when it came to Luke Parker, Hannah was every single high school sophomore who catches the eye of the senior quarterback. She was absolutely convinced that inside there, somewhere, was a man she could change and love. That the Luke she saw when they were alone together just needed the chance to shine in the greater world. Until…this week.
Fantasy Suites.
Peter’s date was up first. They had a romantic day on a boat, spent the entire time making out, and then got to spend the night in a windmill. We were glad to see the footage of them eating and goofing around at the end of Monday’s episode, because it gave a little dimension to their relationship. It took Peter basically forever to FINALLY say he loved Hannah and watching him start to say it and then back out a couple times was painful, but he got around to it and Hannah seemed genuinely happy about it. We were too. Peter is absolutely obsessed with Hannah and she finally knows it. We’ll come back to Peter’s date a little bit later…
Tyler was next and this date was perhaps the most empowering date Hannah’s been on yet. They got massages and then had dinner together. At dinner, Hannah told Tyler that she is SUPER confident in their physical connection. Obviously, they have great chemistry. Hannah very straightforwardly tells Tyler that she does NOT want to have sex with him in the fantasy suite because she feels like that’s not what their relationship needs. She needs their emotional connection to build and grow. What does Tyler say? All hail queen Hannah, I will do whatever you want. I lay my body and soul at your feet.
Actually this is what he really said: “Tonight, fantasy suites, it has a connotation of sex. For me, it’s way more than that. I just want to be with you, have that time with you. You have to really love and respect and honor each other’s boundaries. I would never press you or pressure you at all. I want you to be 100 percent comfortable and confident in whatever we do together. I look at the man I am today, it’s not the same kid I was nine weeks ago. You got me to open up so much and I don’t want this to end. I don’t want to stop looking in your eyes. I don’t want to stop seeing that smile. I don’t want to stop hearing that laugh, seeing those dimples. I can stand here today and tell you I do love you. I am so falling for you. You mean the world to me. I would love to spend more time with you and just be us.”
SWOON. Tyler gives the world the most perfect example of what a man SHOULD do. Hannah goes on to explain, after their night, that he was the most respectful man she’s EVER met and then she cries. She explains why HERE.
Jed’s date was next. They spent most of the day talking about Luke, Jed basically told her at dinner that her keeping Luke makes him question his feelings for her, and Hannah cried and cried. We don’t know how to feel about this date. On one hand, we really appreciate that they basically went through a real-life couple’s moment on their date. They argued (kind of) and they had to deal with those feelings. We also appreciate that Jed was honest with her about how HE felt. A lot of times, these things get swept under the rug because they’re uncomfortable. We also totally understand why leaving Jed with Luke at the last rose ceremony made him feel bad. On the other hand, at some point she has to eliminate people and get down to two, and is it really worth it to argue about it now? In the end, it seemed to make them feel closer together and they went off the fantasy suite.
Luke’s date was last. While I don’t think the producers expected Hannah to be so open about her earlier fantasy suite dates, I do think they scheduled Luke last so that he was already having some feelings about the whole thing. If you want to read the full transcription of Luke and Hannah’s date, Glamour.com has it for you here!
The best part about this conversation was watching Hannah put the puzzle pieces together right there in front of our eyes. You could see when the lightbulb finally clicked on and she realized what has been happening to her for the last two months. It was amazing.
In true Luke fashion, he tries to back-pedal and change everything he’s said and ends up making it worse for himself by telling her it’s okay if she “slipped up” and slept with one of the guys. But if it was all three of them, he’s out. Hannah finally truly stands up for herself, tells Luke the truth – that she should have kicked him out weeks ago – and asks him to leave. Luke doesn’t like this idea. Once she finally gets him to the car that’s supposed to drive him off, he won’t get in. Hannah warns him that she is going to tell him things to make him leave if he doesn’t speed it up and he ignores her. At one point, he even tells her that SHE doesn’t have clarity over her own feelings. You can watch the entire thing go down here:
While we do understand that Luke felt like he was saying what HE wanted and expected from a wife, this was just not okay. He’s allowed to want a wife that is not having sex with other guys. That’s fair. This just may not be the best place to find a wife if you want her all to yourself, considering the premise of this show is dating multiple people. AND as a reminder to all men, you don’t actually have control over a woman’s body.
We LOVE EVERYTHING about Hannah’s reaction to Luke and more importantly, how real and honest she was. We also love that we got to see it all. There are some times that we have to give credit to the Bachelor producers, and letting Hannah have all that time to talk and then airing it all was the best decision. They didn’t cut in and out, they chose just the right time to show Hannah’s one-on-one interview outtakes, and they didn’t give Luke the time of day. Well done!
Before we wrap this post up though, we definitely need to give a shout-out to Kaitlyn Bristowe and Andi Dorfman, who both got a WHOLE BUNCH OF HEAT for Nick Viall, sex, and the fantasy suites on their seasons. They definitely took tons of backlash, even from Nick himself, and changed the way the Bachelorette was viewed.
Next week is the Men Tell All, which should be interesting, considering how much hatred there is towards Luke and how notoriously bad he is at apologizing and being honest. We also get to see the rose ceremony that we missed this week and Luke (thanks to producers, no doubt) comes back. Tyler, Peter and Jed step in as knights in shining armor, and Hannah gets to tell Luke she’s the queen of the world one more time.
Hello again! It’s meeting time and we know you’ve come here to check out this week’s notes, so we’ll get right to it. If you haven’t listened yet, check out our new episode here!
History and Historical Discoveries
In history this week, the Great Barrier Reef was discovered on June 11, 1770. If you haven’t checked out our post about how to help save the reefs from destruction, be sure to do that next! Then, Samantha shared a story about the recent discovery of a 40,000 year old wolf that was preserved in permafrost in Siberia. You can read the full article HERE.
The World Cup
It has begun! The Women’s World Cup has started in France and even if you aren’t a HUGE soccer fan, you have to appreciate international competition. We love the World Cup for a bunch of reasons, but let’s be honest: the only reason the United States is even a part of the World Cup conversation is because our USWNT is AMAZING and AWESOME and BRILLIANT and deserve ALL THE THINGS.
That being said, when they had their first match on Tuesday against Thailand, they came to play and some people (who do not appreciate out USWNT or apparently the spirit of competition) were not happy with the way in which they won. In case you missed it, you can catch the highlights here:
We discuss this HISTORIC win, which turns out is the most goals in ANY World Cup Match, men’s or women’s. Tell us what your opinion is on the ladies’ first win.
Also related to soccer, we discussed the fact that the world’s best soccer play, Ava Hergerberg, is not playing in the World Cup this year to protest against inequalities between the Norwegian men’s and women’s teams. Listen to hear why she’s protesting and then tell us what you think about that. In the United States, we wouldn’t even be having a conversation about soccer if it weren’t for our women’s team, so we fully support equality between the teams.
Piers Morgan Knows Nothing About Women
First up, an apology to Pierce Brosnan. We’re really sorry Carrie accused YOU of being the one to say all these not nice things about Meghan. We love you, all you do, and think you’re a great guy. As you listen, just imagine we’re saying Piers Morgan instead.
Now, let’s just all agree that unless you’ve actually given birth, you don’t get to say anything about what a woman should or should not be doing after she delivers her baby. Your entire world is different and you feel like a different human entirely basically for forever.
Meghan Markle deserves to skip out on whatever she feels like skipping out on and can attend whatever she feels like attending. Instead of bashing Meghan over what is absolutely within her rights as a mother and human, let’s just focus on the important and real issue – maternity leave. Hear our thoughts on Meghan and maternity leave and let us know what you think!
Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow
So this season, 90 Day Fiance is doing something a little different. All the people who are participating in the show are leaving America to go to the country of their loved ones. Destinations for this seasons’ couples are India, South Africa, Qatar, Ecuador and Brazil.
The guy, Paul, who is going to Brazil, has been on the show before, and he’s moving there to be with his pregnant wife. Watch the clip of what happens below:
We were in shock, and kind of creeped out, that the gift she chose to give to her son was a lock of her hair. Keeping a lock of hair from your baby’s first haircut? Okay. Keeping a lock of hair from your significant other in 1817? Okay. Giving your grown son a lock of your hair (for the second time) because hes moving out of the country to take care of his unborn baby….? We can’t subscribe to this. You have to tell us what you think about this. Is it really sweet? Are we missing the point?
Rapid Fire Burning Questions
This game is kind of like a word association game. Sam asked us questions and we (mostly tried to) answer without taking time to think about it. Nicole is admittedly bad at this, but we did our best. As you listen, try to answer them yourself. Do any of your answers match ours? Did you like this segment? Should we do it again? It was kind of fun to try to answer questions so quickly!
How to Ruin a Friendship
Carrie shared a story with us that had us wondering – what are the rules for ending a friendship? Can you end a friendship over a baby name? Is it the baby name that ruined the friendship or the things you learn about the person’s character that really caused the rift? We discuss and share our own thoughts on the idea of “claiming” baby names before you have a baby. Let us know what you think! Also, what IS something you can end a friendship over, and what is something you definitely should NOT end a friendship over? Tell us!
Bachelorette Recap
Hannah, Hannah, Hannah. WE LOVE YOU! Okay, now that our declarations of adoration are out of the way, we can talk about what actually happened last night.
Luke S. eliminated himself, and we can say he wasn’t going to be the right match for her anyway. JPJ got sent home, and Dustin somehow is still in the running. Meghan finally admitted that Luke P. is bad news no matter how good looking he is and has switched over to be Team Tyler. Hannah got tipsy while out on a date with Mike, who could not stop smiling at her. They wandered around Inverness, Scotland (the Outlander people WERE DYING during this episode, I know it) and Hannah won points with Nicole by appreciating the smell of books. After the group date, which involved Highland games and kilts, Kevin had a car-crash moment where he watched Jed and Hannah making out, processed it, and THEN walked away after an awkward amount of time. Peter imitated the most awkward make-out EVER and then Hannah revealed some of her true feelings by starting her own make-out session with a still-kilted Tyler in a bed.
We’ve often mentioned how relatable we feel Hannah is but she showed us again this week. We’ve all been there with a guy like Luke. There’s a great physical connection, but the other stuff…not so much. So instead of recognizing it, and ending it, you hang on wayyyyyy too long and try to force it to work. Anytime you have to work THIS hard to get what you need from a guy, he’s probably not your guy.
In Luke’s defense, we aren’t sure he’s purposely trying to avoid his feelings or the issues Hannah is presenting. We don’t think he’s quite that smart. Luke seems like a guy who just isn’t that deep. Hannah knows herself really well, and she’s SUPER introspective. She understands herself and her motives. Luke doesn’t seem like he’s looking that deeply in to himself. He just likes to look AT himself. I’m not sure Hannah will ever get what she wants out of him because I don’t know if he’s capable of reaching that level of emotional intelligence. In the meantime, the guys are going to continue to hate on him for a bunch of reasons and we’ll just have to see how long Hannah can let this go. Right now, she’s not in a position where she has to eliminate him because there are other guys who she doesn’t really have a connection with (Grant, we’re looking at you buddy) that can go first while she continues to try to force Luke to be everything he’s not. In the long run, we just can’t see this working.
ABC does it again and ends the episode in a weird place and basically we’re just so annoyed by this that it’s not even worth talking about anymore. We only pray that one day, they will understand how obnoxious this is. No one has lost any one from their original list, besides Cam, but someone will have to soon! Tune in next week for more!
We’ll be back on the blog later this week with a recommendation from the Ladies. We got so caught up at the end of this week’s meeting (the NBA finals and Drake’s over-the-top behavior) that we completely forgot to share with you! Thanks for listening. Find us on social media and reach out. We have to hear your thoughts on some of these issues so PLEASE reach out and let us know! See you next week!
EIGHT episodes down! You’ll find the SoundCloud link to our most recent episode below. There’s a lot we cover in this one and you’ll definitely want to follow along with the meeting notes so you can check out all the articles we reference here.
Weekend Wrap Up gave us two very important announcements. One, Happy Birthday to Carrie’s husband Nathan who, in the Easter excitement, we did not mention last week. Two, Meghan did not, in fact, run her 13 miles. Instead, she visited a wine shop and fell asleep with her shoes on the couch. *insert eye-roll here*
Earth Day Connections and Recommendations
First up: If you’ve been listening and keeping up with us on the blog and social media, then you know we’ve been inspired by Earth Day. After the actual holiday, we challenged ourselves to find ways to make changes in our daily lives that would positively impact the Earth. So far we’ve…
Click the picture to check out ALL the goodies on the HydroJug site!
Changed the setting on our thermostats or left them off completely to use the natural temperature outside to heat/cool our homes.
Gotten reusable bags to take grocery shopping for things like produce.
Invested in new, re-usable water bottles. Meghan just purchased the HydroJug. This water bottle is super cool because you only need to fill it TWICE throughout the day – it holds a half gallon of water! In addition, it comes with a handy strap for carrying and a pocket to hold things like your phone, so you can easily transport things you need. It’s also BPA free and dishwasher safe! It would be a great purchase for the summer, when you’ll definitely need to stay hydrated.
Discussed (and in some cases purchased and have used) menstrual cups. Okay, this might be a strange one but just THINK of all the waste produced by the convenience of tampons and pads! Plastic applicators, plastic packaging, and the fact that all those flushed products go through the waste-water treatment. Beyond that, the chemicals used in traditional products are dangerous. If you’ve ever read the labels and done some research, you might be surprised! There are some companies out there offering organic, plastic free options, but a most cost effective way might be a menstrual cup. Sam, bravely, talked to us about how she started the process for finding one that worked for her and how it’s been going so far. Spoiler alert: It’s been awesome! If you’re interested, check out PutACupInIt.com for a quiz to determine which cup is best for you, and compare the different types available. While we know it might not be for everyone, it’s important that we at least understand all our options.
We are the only ones out there in the world trying to make a difference. Carrie told us about how the London Marathon is trying to help cut back on plastic water bottles too. Check out the article HERE to read about about the new form of hydration they are offering runners! What have YOU been doing to help the Earth? Even small, simple gestures can make a difference!
Marine Life Military?
Talking about water and the safety of people and animals alike, reminded Nicole of an article she saw on CNN. Here’s a video to go along with the story she told.
This is almost too unbelievable to be true! The story definitely creates more questions than it answers and left us feeling overwhelmed with strange possibilities. Listen to hear our reactions!
50 Cent vs…Lala Kent?
Is this real life? In another stranger than fiction story from the last couple days, 50 Cent, also trending on social media recently as Fofty, was involved in a BIG social media feud with Lala (of Vanderpump Rules fame) and her producer fiancee. This was not only the most confusing thing happening for awhile, but also the most entertaining. Randall, Lala’s “man” as she likes to call him, is working with Fifty on some projects….and apparently owed him a MILLION DOLLARS. Which Fifty wasn’t bothered by until he saw Lala bragging about their lavish lifestyle on a recent episode of Pump. Essentially, things were resolved, and because Fifty is a man of his word, it’s all deleted from his social media. But the Internet is WAY less forgiving and we’ve got the receipts to enjoy forevermore. Buzzfeed did an absolutely amazing job of capturing the whole thing in a nicely organized timeline, complete with screenshots. Check it out HERE and share your thoughts with us.
Carrie’s Late Night Musings
Carrie’s Late Night Musing this week was about…CAMPING! It’s camping season and we here at The Ladies Auxiliary have a lot of thoughts about camping. We discussed the variety of ways people nowadays “camp.” Thinking of camping, we usually picture a tent, a campfire, and a sleeping bag; however, now most people we know that camp have campers and big RVs that they take to campsites that are really just groups of campers and RVs. Is this camping? Are we losing the old, leave no trace, version of camping in place of this more comfortable version? What constitutes “authentic” camping?
These questions, and more, led us to then wonder how people go camping at the same site every single weekend. When do you do your laundry? When do you go grocery shopping? When do you clean your real house? When do you clean your camper? We accomplish SO MUCH in the two short days of the weekend, we have to know how you make it work to go away and camp every weekend. Listen in to hear some of our thoughts.
This week we covered a whole bunch of different topics and ideas. Reach out to us on social media and share your thoughts. We would love to hear from you! Stay tuned for more on the invisible mental load we all carry AND our next episode, coming next week!
Welcome back! If you’ve listened to our previous episodes, and then you listen to meeting 5, it might sound a little different. The truth is, we had less of a plan going in to last night’s meeting and we let it develop as it went on. Talk to us on social media about how you think it went!
This weekend, we took the little ones to meet Vampirina and they were a little shy. This led to the story of the time we got to meet Nick Carter (Nicole’s forever and ever crush) and Jordan Knight and how star-struck Nicole was…listen to the story in the episode, and then check out her all time worst photo below.
Cinderella, age 3…Nick Carter, age 27..
We touched on the very strange story of the woman with two uterus and how we would feel if we had a baby…and then had twins a few weeks later! Google this story! Let us know your thoughts. Then we moved on to the difficult subject of the disappearance of Madeleine McCann because Samantha watched the new Netflix true crime series. It left us with some tough questions and led to a question that left Nicole as the odd one out.
We’d be remiss if we left out the fact that The Real Housewives of Beverley Hills are STILL STILL STILL talking about Lucy Lucy Apple Juice and this whole DoggieGate issue. In the most recent episode, Kyle tries to balance her friendship with LVP and her growing belief that it was all a scheme from the get-go. We talk about their friendship and our own. Eventually, we stumbled into a conversation about pet peeves. Check out our list below…
Being lied to when you KNOW the other person is lying
Complaining about your life, situation, relationship, job, etc. but not being willing to do anything about it
Only taking some of your clothes to the laundry at any given time instead of washing all of them
Asking where something is when you haven’t looked for it
Not listening closely enough to follow all parts of a simple direction
Using FaceTime to talk to your boyfriend while you’re on the treadmill at the gym
Men who can’t hear ANYTHING while they’re sleeping
Did we miss anything MAJOR? What are your biggest pet peeves? Find us on social media @laidesaux4 (Twitter and Instagram) and Facebook (here!) and let us know what really grinds your gears.
Carrie also told us about this video…ALERT: don’t watch if you’re squeamish! This Auburn gymnast had a really terrible weekend. After this, her team went on to achieve their highest score in regional history. According to AOL.com, Samantha’s surgery went well! We’re sending her nothing but the best wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery!
We’re so thankful you listened to our newest episode and can’t wait until next week! Meeting adjourned!
Episode 4 is LIVE on Soundcloud. You can check it out below, if you haven’t already!
This week, we talked about a LOT of different things. First up: the weekend wrap up! If you’ve ever played golf, you know that it’s supposed to be relaxing and quiet. Unless you golf with Meghan. When you head out for the first time all season, it’s more about getting back into the swing of things than actually enjoying yourself. Is golfer’s shoulder a real thing? We think so!
We also talked about April Fools’…none of us played any pranks but Nicole got pranked this year. Justin Bieber played a prank that backfired terribly. We have to say, it’s shocking to us that people still don’t understand why faking a pregnancy on April Fools’ Day can be upsetting. The odd thing is, when he issued his apology, it was hardly that. He didn’t apologize for doing it, just that it upset people. He continued to justify it by saying that he is just a prankster at heart. Is that an apology? I’m not sure. You can read more about it here!
We added a new segment to this episode called “Carrie’s Late Night Musings.” Here’s how it works: Carrie stays up waaaaayyyy too late on social media. As she’s mindlessly scrolling, she stumbles upon all kinds of interesting things. Before she knows it, she’s down the rabbit hole. While there, she ponders some big philosophical questions, like…
Do you have a designated side of the bed or is it okay to switch every night?
How many towels should you own? Do you use the same towel more than once?
How long should your shower be? Are there different types of showers? (We think there are three for women!)
Carrie watched a TV show over the weekend called Picnic at Hanging Rock. It’s on Amazon Prime Video if you want to check it out. It had some elements of time travel in the story, so we started talking about the idea of time travel. It connected perfectly to a story Nicole stumbled upon about a little Scottish orphan girl knowing about the Titanic sinking while it was happening! In another great example of going down the rabbit hole, Nicole ended up reading about paranormal experiences connected to the Titanic, which then led to finding a story about a guy named Paul Amirault, who through past life regression hypno-theraphy, allegedly discovered he was the man on the Titanic sending the distress signal! You can read all about it in his book and on his website!
This led to a fascinating conversation about past lives and how we’re all connected! You have to check it out. In a brief summary…
If you want to know if you’ve ever had a past life, check out THIS article for signs your soul might be older than you think!
We wrapped things up telling the story of the Red String of Fate and if you have people in your life you feel like you’re connected to for some bigger reason, you have to listen to us explain it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sticking with us for FOUR episodes. We can’t WAIT to hear your thoughts on this one! Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @ladiesaux4 and tell us what you think!
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!
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 best thing about being a part of The Ladies Auxiliary is that even though we’re all different, and sometimes really different, we support each other. We can’t wait for you to join us and help us entertain and support each other.
Follow us and stay tuned! Babble and banter is coming soon!
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!
