Ever wonder why when it's raining really hard outside we say "It's raining cats and dogs?". Well this my friend is an idiom and it's just one of around 25,000 idioms in the English language. In this episode I talk about some of the most common idioms used today and their origins.

If you are interested in learning more idioms and their origins, you can visit this website linked below. I got all my information here but I didn't cover all that were listed.

Yes it's that time again Lads and Lassies! St. Paddy's is right around the corner and I've recorded an episode all about it!

I also tell you about my impression of Ireland and how amazing it was to visit.

Enjoy and please celebrate St. Patrick's day responsibly! AKA Don't Drink and Drive!

Since March 2nd is Texas Independence Day, I am talking about how Texas gained it's Independence :) and a few other things. My guest on the podcast is a native Mexican from Sonora Mexico, and my dear friend Magda Garcia. We have very interesting discussions about Mexico and Texas pretty regularly and I thought she would bring a great view point to Texas Independence Day!

This episode talks at length and in detail about miscarriage. If you are not ready to process your miscarriage or are in the process of a miscarriage please know that this may be upsetting to listen to. I am talking about this subject however because it is SO COMMON. Women you are NOT alone in dealing with this. It should not be taboo to talk about this and I want to encourage all those ladies out there that have had a miscarriage to not feel shame or be embarrassed about your miscarriage(s). Be warned, we had to stop and start a few times because we have tiny ones to deal with whilst recording :)

So Pierce and I don't do Valentine's Day so instead of giving you cutesie ideas on what to do for your man/woman I give you the very INTERESTING history of Valentine's Day. And yes I get on a soap box a little bit about why spending money on one day a year to prove to the world how much you love your significant other is stupid. BUT all in all I think everyone will find at least one thing to take away from this episode.

Talking 'bout that Polar Vortex y'all! And a few other things...

This episode is all about a WONDERFUL book I read called "Grace Not Perfection" by Emily Lee. This is my take away on this book and I think that moms especially will really enjoy this episode. But do not fear Men! I know you can get something out of this too!

If you're like me and shaving is not a good experience, whether you have the $5 disposable razor or the $50 fancy razor, you need the Safety Razor. In this episode my sister and I talk about all our awful experiences in the world of shaving and how kicking it old school with this contraption from the 19th century has saved our sanity when it comes to shaving.

Hey y'all! Before we get into more "meatier" episodes with specific topics I want to introduce myself. This is a very short summary of my life. I tried to hit the highlights. Enjoy!
