This week we are continuing our conversation about homebuilding and covering the projects that we still have left to tackle.  Some of the projects are currently underway, some are in the near future, and some are way down the road but always in the back of our minds.

Join us as we discuss things we purposefully put off when building, contractor timelines, the struggle and decision fatigue that comes with making too many decisions at once, and how we are picking up the pieces on undone projects all around our houses, inside and out.

We would love to hear from you!  Do you have a knack for moving into a new space and immediately knowing how to decorate?  Do you break out into a sweat imagining putting nails in your walls?  Do you have any large house projects that you are currently working on or planning?  We want to hear all about it!

Leave us a comment on instagram and let us know if you can relate, commiserate, or have any tips for us when it comes to tackling these future home projects.

Thanks for listening!

You asked and we answered! We are discussing a topic that has been requested of us time and time again- how to make close, meaningful friendships as adults.

 

While we don't claim to be experts on the subject, we do have some thoughts and ideas based on our experiences in making close friendships with other women throughout the years. We are really laying it out there, from scoping out the person you want to be friends with, how to strike up conversation, and how to take it to the next level.

 

We also discuss friendship lines, tiers, and bullseyes....stay with us, it will all make sense as you listen along with us.

 

Remember that cultivating close, meaningful, 'middle of the target' friendships takes time. If you are new to town, or starting from scratch for one reason or another, give it time! There is nothing wrong with you if you aren't instantly jiving with people around you. You will eventually get there. In the meantime, we are here for you!

 

Join in the conversation with us on Instagram, we love hearing from you. Have you got any tips to share about cultivating close relationships? Feel free to share your wealth of knowledge!

 

Thanks for listening and don't forget to share with a friend!

This week on the podcast we are talking about organizing your house and throwing away all the junk.  You know those bins of old electronics, outdated baby stuff, or clothes from high school?  Get ready to be motivated to donate them all to goodwill (or the junkyard!)

Listen as we discuss the major house cleaning projects we decided to undertake this summer and how amazingly awesome we felt afterwards.  We want you to feel amazingly awesome, too!

Join in the conversation as we chat about de-junking strategies and what worked for us.

Have you ever done a major house clean out?

Are you sentimental and like to hang on to everything or are you able to ruthlessly throw things away?

Do you have a house cleaning project that seems insurmountable?

Do your kids allow you to clean things out while they are there?

Leave your thoughts, feelings, and comments on instagram, and don't forget to rate and review the podcast and share with a friend.  We appreciate it!

Thanks for listening!

It's Lissi's birthday week so today on the podcast our topic is one of our favorites: true crime!   We are keeping up with our tradition to give each other the gift of true crime stories on each other's birthdays, and this year is no different.

We hope you will enjoy puzzling out with us the case we are discussing today: the mysterious and tragic disappearance of Indiana University college student, Lauren Spierer.

If you have never heard of this case, that's ok!  Joy will reveal all the details, twists, and turns and she lays out the timeline of events and discusses the vast cast of people who were last seen with Lauren, as well as all the theories surrounding her disappearance.

This case is particularly near and dear to us as it is our 'hometown' crime and also because we both participated in the efforts to find Lauren.  It is an absolutely heartbreaking scenario and our families have prayed and hoped for closure for the Spierers for the past eight years.  We do not delight in the fact that she is missing or that her families have not found justice.  We remain hopeful that they will find a lead and be able to solve this crime.

We love hearing the hometown stories you share with us of crimes that have happened in the cities you live in.  Have you ever been a part of a search effort for a missing person?  Have you lived in a town that was completely turned upside down by a crime?  We want to hear all about your experiences.

Join in the conversation on instagram and let us know all your thoughts, whether it be on this case or on your own hometown case.

Thanks for listening!

School is back in full swing so this week on the podcast we are talking about our morning routines:  things that work well, things that need work, and things that aren't working at all.

Join as as we discuss waking up early, dragging ourselves out of bed, and getting the household running in the morning!

As usual, we want to hear from you.  Share your expertise and tips! What things do you do to make your mornings run smoothly?

Do you make your kid's lunches or help them prepare in other ways?

How many kids to you have in school?  How early does it start?

What is one thing you would change about your mornings?

Comment on instagram and let us know your thoughts.  We love hearing from you and reading the thoughts and experiences you share.  Thanks for listening!
