Nostalgic Musical Memories: A 90s Game Show Adventure
Send us a textRemember those 90s hits that defined your childhood and teenage years? The Cajun Mamas sure do! In this laugh-out-loud game show episode, these Southern podcasters put their musical memories to the test, attempting to finish lyrics from iconic 90s pop and country songs.From Britney Spears to Garth Brooks, TLC to Celine Dion, the hosts demonstrate their lyrical knowledge (or hilariously lack thereof) while reminiscing about the soundtrack of their youth. You'll find yourself singing along as they tackle hits from Ace of Base, the Spice Girls, and Alan Jackson, complete with impromptu performances and debates about whether certain lyrics were ever correctly understood.One particular highlight involves the revelation that a friend had spent years thinking Alanis Morissette was singing about a "cross-eyed bear" rather than "the cross I bear" – a confession that will have you thinking about all the lyrics you might have been singing wrong for decades! The friendly competition creates an atmosphere that feels like sitting around the kitchen table with old friends, sharing memories tied to the music that shaped a generation.Throughout the show, the hosts inject their trademark Southern charm and wit, transforming what could be a simple game into a nostalgic journey that reminds us how deeply music becomes intertwined with our life stories. Whether it's recalling dancing to "Summer Girls" by LFO or belting out Celine Dion's power ballads as children, their authentic reactions and personal anecdotes create instant connection with listeners.Want more game show fun from the Cajun Mamas?

And don't forget to check out their sponsor Blue Plate Mayonnaise – the official mayonnaise of Louisiana Po' Boys since 1927 and the secret ingredient in every Southern sandwich worth eating. https://cajunmamas.com/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CajunMamasSarahttps://www.facebook.com/lllippyladyhttps://www.instagram.com/lllippylady/#https://www.tiktok.com/@lllippyladyKoahttps://www.facebook.com/kgmelanconhttps://www.tiktok.com/@koa.melanconhttps://www.instagram.com/k_melancon/

The Art of Faith: Emily Pitre's Journey
Send us a textWhat happens when a pandemic hobby transforms into a divine calling? In this heartwarming conversation with Emily S. Pitre of Emily S P Art, we discover the beautiful intersection of motherhood, faith, and creative entrepreneurship.Emily shares how a simple watercolor kit from the children's aisle at Michael's and unexpected free time during COVID lockdowns led to creating Catholic-inspired art that now appears in over 90 stores across the country. With disarming honesty, she recounts her journey from full-time pediatric occupational therapist to faith-driven artist, including the miraculous confirmation she received through a novena to St. Therese that involved nine specific roses appearing exactly when needed.As a mother to an almost three-year-old and a fresh two-month-old, Emily creates with purpose—designing products that are both beautiful and practical for Catholic families. Her watercolor saints adorn everything from mugs to "Mass bags," helping children and adults alike recognize that saints were regular people just like us. "We're all just trying to get to heaven, provide for our families, and be regular people," Emily reflects, capturing the accessible spirituality that makes her work resonate with so many.The conversation delves into the vulnerability of following unexpected callings and finding community among like-minded creatives. Emily's story reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful ministry happens outside traditional roles—whether through art that sparks conversations about faith or gentle nudges that lead teenagers back to confession.Explore Emily's beautiful work at https://emilyspitreart.com/https://www.instagram.com/emilyspitre_arthttps://www.facebook.com/emilyspitreart https://cajunmamas.com/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CajunMamasSarahttps://www.facebook.com/lllippyladyhttps://www.instagram.com/lllippylady/#https://www.tiktok.com/@lllippyladyKoahttps://www.facebook.com/kgmelanconhttps://www.tiktok.com/@koa.melanconhttps://www.instagram.com/k_melancon/

How Well Do These Cajun Mamas Really Know Each Other?
Send us a textTwo friends take a playful deep dive into their friendship while competing for Blue Plate Mayonnaise bragging rights on this laugh-out-loud episode. When Sara's sister Lainey dons her official bow tie and transforms into gameshow host extraordinaire, the Cajun Mamas find themselves facing the ultimate friendship test: how well do they really know each other?The competition begins with seemingly simple questions about favorite restaurants and TV shows, quickly revealing both surprising connections and hilarious misunderstandings. "Friends or The Office?" becomes an unexpected challenge when Sara and Koa realize they've been overthinking their answers by trying to predict each other's responses.As the game shifts to "who's more likely" questions, listeners get genuine insights into their friendship dynamic - including Sara's competitive nature that Koa admits "took some getting used to" and their different approaches to food and punctuality. The most revealing moment comes during a discussion of Sarah's favorite relaxation method, where both friends perfectly describe her ritual of watching true crime shows while cuddling with her "tickle head" - a comfort blanket with decorative trim that she's maintained versions of since childhood.Things get particularly animated during the "silliest argument" segment, where Sara confesses to once conceptualizing an entire jarred roux business that Koa talked her down from: "I spent a million dollars in my mind that day!" Their gentle ribbing and inside jokes create an atmosphere that makes listeners feel like they're eavesdropping on a heart-warming coffee date between lifelong friends.Throughout it all, the episode showcases Blue Plate Mayonnaise - a Louisiana tradition since 1927 - whose egg-yolk-only recipe creates the perfect tangy base for authentic Cajun cooking from potato salad to po'boys. The competition may have ended in a tie, but the real winner is anyone looking for a genuine, laughter-filled conversation about friendship, Louisiana food culture, and what your mayonnaise preferences reveal about your personality.Ready for more Cajun Mama conversations?

Beyond the Beach: What Makes a Cajun Summer Unforgettable
Send us a textNothing captures the essence of Southern childhood quite like those barefoot summer days, filled with garden harvests, beach trips, and the perfect snowball (or snow cone, depending on where you're from). Join the Cajun Mamas as we unpack our most treasured summer traditions and the memories that shaped us.Sarah takes us through the magical experience of beach vacations, where despite the inevitable sand in your sandwich, there's something profound about witnessing the vastness of the ocean. Meanwhile, Koa shares intimate memories of learning to snap beans and shuck corn at her grandmother's house, agricultural rituals that weren't just chores but investments in family relationships that continue with her own daughters today.The conversation takes a surprising turn when Sarah describes her family's bucket list Alaska cruise. The majestic mountains, still snow-capped in June, and extraordinary whale-watching experiences left her questioning her beach girl identity. Her vivid descriptions of whales bubble-feeding and a playful calf breaching the water reveal how summer adventures expand our horizons and create unforgettable family bonds.We laugh about childhood memories that today's parents would never allow—riding without seatbelts in the back of vans, spending entire days barefoot and sunburned, and cooling off on the floor without air conditioning. These nostalgic reflections aren't just personal; they mirror broader Southern summer experiences many listeners will recognize from their own childhoods.Perhaps nothing symbolizes summer quite like the debate over favorite snowball flavors. From the mysterious "pink lady" to strawberry cheesecake with extra cream, this simple but cherished treat bridges generations of Cajuns. As we wrap up with appreciation for our sponsor Blue Plate Mayo (the official mayonnaise of po'boys, as declared by Louisiana itself), we invite you to share your own summer memories and traditions.What summer rituals define your family story?

Coffee Talk With The Cajun Mamas: Nostalgic Rewind, TV Shows and Movies That Shaped Our Youth
Send us a textRemember rushing home to catch your favorite TV shows, knowing there was no option to pause, record, or stream later? Those were simpler times when entertainment was an event that shaped our weekly routines.This episode takes us on a delightful journey through the television shows and movies that defined our childhoods. We start with our earliest PBS memories - Wishbone, Zoom, Arthur, and Bill Nye teaching us while entertaining after school. Those colorful Zoom outfits and craft ideas were Pinterest before Pinterest existed! Saturday mornings meant Looney Tunes with a parent and a bowl of cereal, while Power Rangers had us picking favorites (Pink and White were clearly superior) and reenacting episodes with neighborhood friends.Nothing epitomized must-see TV more than ABC's TGIF lineup. Family Matters, Full House, and Step by Step created appointment viewing that families planned around. We discuss the devastation of potentially missing an episode in the pre-DVR era, and how special snacks made these viewing nights memorable family traditions. The excitement when cable finally arrived expanded our worlds dramatically - though satellite dishes meant weather could interrupt your favorite show at any moment!We also reminisce about those VHS tapes played until they nearly wore out - from Disney classics to teen comedies like Clueless and She's All That, and the cultural phenomenon that was Titanic with its infamous mid-movie tape swap just as the iceberg struck. Our discussion highlights how different entertainment consumption is for today's kids who've never experienced the collective anticipation of waiting a week for a new episode.What shows could you watch over and over? Share your nostalgic favorites in the comments - we'd love to hear which programs and movies shaped your childhood! https://cajunmamas.com/YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@CajunMamasSarahttps://www.facebook.com/lllippyladyhttps://www.instagram.com/lllippylady/#https://www.tiktok.com/@lllippyladyKoahttps://www.facebook.com/kgmelanconhttps://www.tiktok.com/@koa.melanconhttps://www.instagram.com/k_melancon/
