Meet Amarilys
Amarilys was born into a home of Cuban immigrants and grew up in small town Alabama. That is quite the combo! She can translate Southern country English and Spanish, if you’re ever in need. Growing up in a houseful of Cubans meant that you’re always trying to outdo all the other craziness in the household which led a quick wit and a house full of laughter. These days, she’s trying to juggle work, church and family which includes her husband of 19 years, Rhett, and two beautiful daughters, Catalina (17) and Nova (9).
Meet Misty
Misty was born in Sweet Home Alabama! The daughter of a Southern Baptist preacher mixed with severe ADHD and anxiety is what produced the hot mess you hear before you today! Today, she is married to her high school sweetheart of 25 years (Phillip) and has spent the majority of her adult life raising her 3 wonderfully made children (Isaac, Avri, and Eli). As a special needs mom, Misty has a passion for special education advocacy and not giving two craps about what people think about her! She loves singing, podcasting and nervously tracking her children on Life 360! Oh, and she loves glitter and Taylor swift 🫶🏻
Our Story
This is the first time we ever recorded. We tried doing it at a local coffee shop and the roar of the espresso machine could be heard on our recording so we had to re-record the next day.
The pandemic was hard for people like us. We need people to talk to and have fun with and just to be perfectly honest, our families weren’t doing it for us. Sure, we love them and sure, we take care of them, and sure, we’d punch your face off if you ever said one bad thing about any of them but you know, we were BORED silly. We had one night a week in which we had a chance to get out of the house and that was for choir practice.
Our church choir had virtual choir rehearsal but our worship pastor needed a soprano and an alto to help him teach the parts each week. Enter Misty & Amarilys, alto and soprano extraordinaire (in our own minds).
One Wednesday night when we had a quick break, Misty leaned over to Amarilys and asked about documentary recommendations and it was at that moment that the idea to record our thoughts about what we were watching at home was born.
We quickly decided to watch and discuss Bikram and the rest is history. That first episode is still up and the audio is horrendous because Amarilys didn’t (and still doesn’t) have any idea how to audio engineer a podcast recording. It’s been trial and error ever since but boy have we laughed and boy have we had so much fun getting to know so many new friends! We are so grateful for each of you and can’t wait to have you keep growing with us!

Amarilys’ Favorites
The contraption puts your giant Stanley (you know you have one) in the cupholder and keeps your phone safe and out of your hands while you drive. Win/Win! I love this thing!
These curtain tie-backs are so cute and handy! I love lots of color and these are perfect for my drapes at home.
Y’all, this stuff is AMAZING!! Follow the instructions and you won’t believe the magic. It will revolutionize your kitchen. I LOVE LOVE this stuff!
I have been using these razors since they came out in 2003. I keep these babies on my Subscribe & Save for me and my daughter. Close shave, no lathering up! They’re awesome!
These are my favorite Cuban crackers. So buttery and rich. They’re super crunchy and delicious. Add some butter and some guava paste if you’re adventurous and you’ll be in heaven!
Misty’s Favorites
The family tried to act like this was mom vibes, but everyone was fighting over it at Six Flags
I think this is basically what my brain looks like and it keeps bees out of my Stanley!
Because I need the world to know I’m extra and it has helped me not spill my drink all over myself while I try to lock my door or find my pepper spray!
If you have a sensory kid, they will love this! E uses it every night to fall asleep!
Life changing! I can’t work an iron and I get to pretend this is a magic wand! Win Win!
The only way I can stay in the pool with Eli for hours without passing out.
