On today's episode, we (Abbie & Daniélle) catch up with our good friend, Catherine Koth. We chat about dancing our years away at Iowa State University, what it's like to move across the country, parenting, and of course...embracing social awkwardness. Catherine discusses her career transition from the accounting world, to now working as an independent travel advisor. In her role, Catherine specializes in all things Disney, as well as destinations to Europe and the Caribbean (including cruises)! Abbie & Daniélle cannot wait to use her services for their future vacations! But more importantly, we loved re-connecting we our fellow Cyclone alum, Midwesterner, and lover of all things DISNEY.

With Abbie's upcoming move back to Iowa, the #RealLife hosts regale and share funny memories from their years of constantly moving......AKA: basically ever since college. Abbie & Daniélle discuss the pros and cons of living on their own vs. roommates, which amenities are necessities, and why you should also pack an extra pair of shoes and bug spray everywhere you go.

It should go without saying, but May 4th was a very important day this year! First, congrats to Abbie and her family for closing on their first home! (Well really, thanks to her husband Dee for doing all the hard work).

But more importantly - HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY to the one and only, DHill!

Abbie & Daniélle are back at it again with a solo episode - this time discussing our first jobs, the pros and cons of work uniforms, funny memories at the workplace....and of course, we somehow switch gears & go down a rabbit hole that includes silly memories being children of single moms. If you've ever wondered what DHill means by a "party backpack," or why Abbie's mom made her be a pooper scooper in a parade...you'll wanna check this one out!

What does the weather, New York City, Washington D.C., & Celebrity Death Match all have in common? Other than being completely random, they each get their own tangent in this episode! Abbie & Daniélle give their thoughts on the world-famous "I <3 NY" campaign changing their slogan to "WE <3 NYC," weird content past and present, popular cities in TV and movies.....and somehow end up comparing whether they think about 'Poo-pouri' or 'Potpourri' more often in their day-to-day.

STAY WEIRD EVERYONE!
