Katie is a wife, a mother, and my bonus sister honestly. Our husbands are 1st cousins, and as luck would have it, we have a TON in common. It has for sure been decided that she will have multiple episodes and this is just our first-FOOD. If you saw our daily texting threads, it is mostly pictures of food- wins and not wins, but it still tastes good. We are both super passionate about food, where it comes from, its importance in our family culture, and including our children in all of it. Of course Katie, being Katie, came with questions for ME. Because, well, we're just like that.

Bon appetit!

PS- we recorded this while Katie was driving home from getting Kielbasa #committed, so sound is not it's usual!

This week I welcome my very dear friend Sydney. She is a wife, a mama, and as we like to joke, has devolved from a cool kid to homeschooling/homesteading woman. We have a blast chatting about our days as athletes, how she became a homeschooler, and found herself swamped with chicken math. We also FOR SURE finished recording and then FaceTimed for another hour after we were done, because it was definitely not enough time.

Audra is a wife, mother, and, my favorite title yet, domestic engineer.

We've been virtual friends for a few years now, and it was super fun to actually see each other's faces and have a conversation. We have a TON in common including strong-willed daughters, 2020 babies, bearded husbands, and worship.

Today, Anna is chatting with friend Rachel Trettin. Rachel is a wife, a mom, and entrepreneur. High school friends, now grown up, they talk about Rachel's business ventures, her work with teens from their alma mater, the importance of connection, and doing the nitty gritty work of building a business from the bones.

Grab a cuppa with Anna and her husband Ethan as they chat a bit about their relationship and ask questions from their question box! In true “real life” fashion, Samwise the dog, Gimli Gloin the cat, and Eleanor the tiny human all make an appearance and ruckus. I know most people would freak and edit that stuff out, or re-record, but that’s our real life. It’s beautiful and chaotic, and it’s just another part of the snapshot of it!
