Fa la la la la -- la la la la! Tina & Sue discuss Seasons of Scrooge, favorite memories that have them wearing their Amy Agnew Irvine Capes, and the "real" meaning of Christmas vs. secular celebration. Both enjoy the holiday decorations, but look at new ways of making it more fun and less work. Wishing you all a warm and happy holiday!

Bringing out the Super Hero Teacher magic is debut author Amy Agnew Irvine! Just as every teacher has shown up despite plot twists of real life, the three Re-tired teachers know that the classroom is where they tapped into the happiest and truest of their best selves. Amy reminds us all to embrace the fearless and smartest LITTLE ME of our childhoods. The gals discuss the sisterhood of women who want to share what they have learned about survival, resilience, and thriving.

Yes, because both Tina and Sue are awake at all hours. Not a favorite topic per se, but a bit of reality so many of us deal with. The gals test out technology with a call to their pal, Sharon, who also experiences insomnia. Perhaps they should start making these calls to each other when they're all awake at night. Want to join them on their pitstop?
