    In this new mini-series, Premeditated Ramblings, Kate and Val are, you know, rambling. Instead of leaving it in the regular episode, we'll cut them down in 2 shorter episodes!

    This week, Kate talks about her ADHD medication and the struggles of teaching, how she's basically besties with Chvrches's singer, Lauren, a mini-golf course named Smiley Putt Putt in Kansas, and her future hearing aids.

    Val talks about her son's ADHD medication (and all the benefits in school), and about the Berenstain Bears books. Does anyone else remember the spelling being "Berenstein" with an "e"? Because Val sure does!
