Better Already

A round-up of the Every Day Life of Kelly and Shannon - dirty baseboards and curb-side Christmas trees abound. Reminiscing about how our babies are only going to wear Dino shirts and tolerate our company for about three more minutes (thanks, TikTok!) Report cards are getting our new teacher, Shannon, really crying, but Kelly is there to remind her that a surf-and-turf at the Ponderosa is just around the corner. We discuss the parenting technique called The Calm Technique from Jennifer Kolari. 

Which lockdown are we in now? Shannon talks about the shift to virtual learning as a new teacher. Kelly reminds us that managing a child’s homework and screens is a full time job. HOW are we being expected to do so much? Why isn’t anyone doing their French homework? We are having stress dreams, or are they just called regular dreams now? The idea of sobriety rears its ugly head again. Kelly has some intel on the risque new social media - Shannon says “Do Tell.” 

Another recently recorded episode....  Kelly and Shannon are feeling the vibe of “it’s always darkest before the dawn”. We reminisce about concerts and jello shots and the BlogHer ‘13 conference. Yet again we are never surprised by what happens on the news, and give you the not-100percent-accurate roundup on the storming of the capital. You should probably find a different podcast if you are looking for news.

Shannon is working as a teacher, and shares what it is like being at home and teaching her class virtually. Kelly reminds Shannon she is stronger than she thinks. 

Why is it hard to ask for and receive help? Shannon CRIES telling a story about Ketchup, so ya, things are falling apart a bit. 

Our 2020 Recommendations (from 2011!)

A riveting Contagion review. Kelly wishes she heard about this 2011 banger sooner, which leads us to talking about films that resonate. I don’t think we recap Outbreak properly, does someone want to help us out? There is a monkey, yes?

Our film degrees come out to play and we can't help but notice the women of these films are lacking personalities - and antibodies. I mean, who didn't want to be the Pretty Woman.

We've decided to publish our most current episode as our first, recorded over Covid Christmas 2020, in order to give you a snapshot of what's happening with us and the global pandemic right now. 

We started our friendship a decade ago, and this podcast in Fall 2020 - that is when we let you in. Those episodes are up soon! 

It’s December 23 and there is a lot to do, what else is new? Oh, and where we live in Canada is now "Grey" according to the CCC (Covid Colour Code) but weren’t we already here? Shannon has déjà vu, again.

We aren’t crafty moms, and nor do you have to be. The pressure to be fun is a lot, why are we always crushing our kids' spirit !?

Parenting, friendship, pandemics and a certain elf on a certain ledge - it is all here. Cheers!
