We'll Figure it out: Adulting and Parenting over 40

Jonny and Noah join me to talk about responsibilities and getting back on track after months of dealing with pain. I talk to Jonny about being consistent and my struggle with keeping up with everyone's stuff. 

How many times do you have to talk to your kids about these things? Do you get off track sometimes and need to reign everyone back in?

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, what our menu will be for the week, planning and dealing with emergency financial decisions and/or repairs. 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. This is our way of hanging out with you, hoping that you get a few laughs, and figure we all figure out life in the process.

Today Jeremy and I talk about how we blended our families. We talk about the struggles and the triumphs. It can be difficult to get two families with different experiences and histories to blend well. Jeremy and I are continuing to figure it out as we go. 

Tell us if you have had an experience with blending a family and what were some of your struggles and triumphs. What did you do well, what do you think you could have done differently?

Jeremy and I discuss where to put the money we saved by canceling or pausing subscriptions and paying off debt. We use "sinking funds" in our savings accounts. We would love to hear what you do to plan for known or recurring expenses.  Do you plan for big purchases? Do you have a savings account?

Today my youngest and oldest join me on the podcast. I had plans for this day, but like most days, my plans were foiled. We talk about what we had to do this day and what we needed to achieve. With a little laughter and some actual discussion of plans, we figured it out.

Today on the Podcast we talk about what life has been like one year since lockdown. On March 21st it will be the anniversary that Louisiana went on lockdown. What we thought was going to be a short 2-week quarantine, turned out to be much longer. 

We also have a few conversation deviations.  We talk about some funny things we have done and share a story about our first conversation.

Jeremy and I talk about some unexpected expenses that have come up and how we're going to handle them. We talk about some ways we plan for future expenses; expected and unexpected. 

The conversation takes a few turns, and twists, but we eventually get back on track. We have fun and laugh through the stress of figuring out how to budget for some serious planning. I truly love how we can take a very intense conversation and joke and laugh through the whole thing.

Let us know how you plan or budget for expected and/or unexpected expenses. Do you have a plan, or do you wing it?

Welcome to our first episode: groceries and our enormous grocery budget. Feeding a family of 6 (and sometimes 7 or 8) can be a challenge. I'm a planner, Jeremy is more of a wing-it person. We have worked on fine-tuning our planning and budget over the last 4 years and we think we have... figured it out. In today's episode, we plan out our dinner menu for the week, plan what items we need to get at the grocery, and plot ways to keep food around for more than a few days. It's not easy keeping the pantry and fridge stocked with 2-3 teenager boys and a preteen boy around. We would love to hear from you about how you plan dinner for your family. What are some ways you save money? Do you shop sales? Do you have a grocery budget? Till next time... we'll keep figuring it out!
