Our clocks sprang forward yesterday, officially ushering in a lack of sleep and the start of spring. To kick off this beloved season, we’re talking about a beloved topic- spring cleaning. Okay, maybe beloved is a bit of a stretch, but our hope is that by the end of this episode you’ll have a little more spring in your step (see what we did there?) to jump start your spring cleaning. We’re covering everything from how to efficiently purge your closet to where to even begin on your spring cleaning checklist. So grab a vacuum, put in your earbuds, and get to listening/cleaning.

Can you even believe it? Spring is in the process of springing. It's been raining cats and dogs. Daffodils and tulips have begun blooming.

Tune in to hear what we have on the docket for this upcoming season to kickstart your own spring bucket list planning!

Raise your hand if you've ever felt like you don't have agency over your own life (insert raised hand emoji over here)!

There are a whole heck of a lot of things that are out of our control, but there are also a whole heck of a lot that ARE. This week's episode is dedicated to those choices we make in our own lives in an attempt to highlight the ways you can make choices in your own life.

With Valentine's Day approaching this week, we have love on our minds. And while this holiday tells us we need all the chocolates and diamonds and flowers, we know a relationship can't survive on one grand romantic gesture a year- it's the little things done over time that add up. This week we're discussing all the small ways you can pursue your significant other throughout the year so you don't experience that "oh shoot" moment when you forgot to get him a card the night before February 14th.

Happy birthday to us! Today we are celebrating one year of The Kitschy Kountdown! We are over the moon excited to reach this milestone, so to celebrate, we recruited some special guests who just so happen to be our number one fans. Tune in as we chat and reflect over what the past 12 months have looked like in the life of the podcast and think of it as our love letter to you. Dear listener. If it weren’t for your support, we don’t know that we would have made it past episode 2. And if as you’re listening you realize that this show has positively impacted your life in anyway and your mother taught you to never show up to a party empty handed, we would be so grateful if you would leave us a review so we can continue to grow our KK community! So here’s to one year down and many more to go!
