It's January so we're eating all the noodles and cream around here, of course. Jessie sits down with Chad to talk about one of his favorite things, cooking. His other favorite thing is building stuff, so they talk about that too, and why it isn't Jessie's favorite thing. Especially tiling. If you like food and cooking and some talk about making music, this episode is for you.

This week is all about the rabbit hole Jessie went down when Chad did something unexpectedly nice for her. She sits down with him to talk marriage, her grandparent's 70 + year marriage and how flipping our mindset just a bit can potentially make all the difference. Jessie shares her column and a rough cut of a new song she wrote about their relationship called "Supermarket Line."

Between snow pushing and cleaning up the explosion of Christmas break, Jessie sits down with her husband Chad to talk about how margaritas and cookies should definitely be part of people's resolutions and they recap a few of their favorite and memorable moments on the ranch in 2022. The couple also talks about the harrowing task that is bed shopping, Jessie's recent music trip and an unfortunate incident that Chad experienced that he'd rather not talk about but of course, Jessie does.

Happy New Year! Cheers to celebrating the good little things.

Christmas just keeps getting whiter at the ranch as Jessie and her husband Chad sit down in the middle of a blizzard to talk about windchill and frozen equipment, digging out and and staying home, Christmas traditions and finding gratitude where you can. Their daughter Edie gives a snow day report and then stick around to hear both her and little sister Rosie sing their favorite Christmas song this year. 

Merry Christmas from the ranch. May you find peace wherever you are in the life.

It's a snow day at the ranch and all the roads in ND are closed. So while all the kids are in the house, Jessie sits down to chat with her little sister, Alex, about parenting five year olds and trying to replicate the magic Christmases they had as kids. There are interruptions, per usual, Jessie talks about Rosie and her packrat tendencies and Alex shares a story about how she and an egg went to town.

Happy snow day moms and dads! Don't forget to move that elf.

Jessie and her dad have been singing and performing together since Jessie was a just a little kid and his music has been the backdrop and influence of her career ever since. This week's column is about Jessie finding herself in her own version of the classic Harry Chapin song, Mr. Tanner and so she sits down with her dad to talk about the music and why it's such a powerful and important storytelling tool. You get to hear Jessie's dad in his element, reciting lyrics and philosophizing about the most important things in life. 

Jessie shares her column as well as one of her favorite Guy Clark songs.

Happy Thanksgiving. This week's column is about what it means to bring the kids along on shipping day at the ranch. On the podcast Jessie and Chad catch up after a really busy couple weeks and talk about all things, including the significance of this time of the year for the family. They talk a bit about their rocky road to parenthood as well as how scary it can be to face taking over a ranch operation before you feel fully ready. Also, call them if you need a kitten or some tips on how to survive a 7 year old birthday sleepover party.

What happens when the family tries to fit an entire life into one week? Jessie finds herself alone in her basement talking to you about memories of an old horse because despite her attempts, she couldn't bring herself to wake up her exhausted husband to visit. This week's column and podcast is a little late, a little nostalgic and a little awkward, just like Jessie herself. She gives an update on life at the ranch, reads her column and shares one of the first songs she's ever recorded, one she wrote when she was only 12-years-old. Oh, the memories old horses give us. 

Thanks for listening.

Back after a week off, Jessie and her husband Chad catch up when they can, which is in the middle of the night. The family's Halloween costumes remind them of Jessie's lack of sewing skills and Chad's ability to do everything (annoying, right?) And they dig in to what keeps us up and wakes us up at night. While the episode's lighthearted, the column, "Edie's worried" digs into how we deal with our children's fear, and how difficult it can be to balance the truth with the comfort.
