  • Ep 38: Dishwasher Rage, Beans & Moral Dilemmas

    Lorilee is still learning (or remembers for the very first time) new things about Andrea!  After all this......year!

    Andrea also gives an update on Lily's session with her animal behaviorist and shares some wisdom from The FlyLady.

    (Wonder how the FlyLady got her name?

    When Marla found the www.SHEsintouch.com website three years ago, she needed a username. When they found out that she loved to flyfish and she taught it at a local college, they came up with the username “FlyLady”.)

    Is dishwasher rage a thing? If so, Lorilee has it.
