    On our podcast, we talk about many topics related to adulting and parenting over 40. We sometimes have special guests like Time with Ty, who talked about self-care, or my sibling who talked about chronic pain today. We figure out things like budgets, our weekly dinner menu, planning and dealing with emergency financial decisions and/or repairs, and so much more. I talk to my boys about responsibilities and how we divide up chores, you know the really important things like unloading the dishwasher and cutting the grass.

    We have a blended family, so we discuss some of the challenges we face with bonus kids and navigating some of the blended family dynamics. There is always chaos, always. We have fun and laugh while we figure out the things in our lives. We hope that we help you figure some things out in your life as well.

  • Our Nest: Half-full or Half-empty Holidays

    Jeremy, Noah, and Dee discuss the changes to our holidays now that some of the kids aren't living with us. We talk about how Christmas can evolve as children grow up and move out, and how depression can affect our ability to be in the Christmas spirit. 

    The past few months have been a struggle for our family and it has been difficult for all of us to find the joy of the holidays. What are some ways your family celebrates the holidays?

  • Our Life is a Muddle Fuddle

    On today's episode Jeremy, Noah, and I talk about how our life is a complete muddle fuddle. If you are sure what a muddle fuddle is, you will have to go back a few episodes to find out. 

    Life has been really hectic since we came down with COVID. We talked about it a little in our last episode, but this week we go into detail about what is going on with our main house and what we have on our plates. The dogs join us again because they can't stand not being a part of the show.

  • Super-Secret Budget Category Revealed

    On today's episode, Jeremy and I reveal what the super-secret category was in our budget. We explain all the code words from the last episode and what it means in relation to the super-secret budget category. This was a long process that should have been completed in June, but due to some bumps in the road and unforeseen circumstances, we didn't complete the super-secret until September.

  • Planning for Super-Secret reveal

    Back in April, we shared with you our budget planning and sinking funds. In that episode, we discussed our many budget categories and our sinking fund categories. One of the sinking fund categories was a super-secret fund. We were ready to share with everyone what we were planning and we weren't really sure if it would happen or when, so we wanted to keep in on the dl.

    After months of delays and a multitude of stress, we finally have super-secret. In this week's episode, we will talk about some of our plans and get the boys involved with the plans. We are talking in code, but if you listen closely you may be able to figure out what super-secret is. We would love to hear your guesses.

  • Our Nest: Half Full or Half Empty

    This week Jeremy takes over the mic and leads the way on the adventure that is empty nesting. It has come time in his life where all his little birdies have flown the coop, so so speak. All of Jeremy's biological children no longer live with us, two of them have stepped into adulting, the other one lives full-time in another state. A couple weeks ago his oldest moved out on his own and has been the last to fly the nest. 

    Jeremy gives you some insight on how it has been for him going through the process of empty nesting, while we still have my three boys living with us. This dynamic is unique, the emotions may be similar to normal empty nesting, but like most things, we do a lot of things different.


    Have you become an empty nester? Do you have a blended family where some of the kids have moved out, but not all? We would love to hear your experiences when it's come to empty nesting.
