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

  • 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.

    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. 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.

  • 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. Please visit us on our socials and give us a comment about what you think it could be. You can find the links below.

  • 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.

  • A Little Deja vu

    It feels like a little bit of Déjà vu. Updates on my health, Walmart+, and our bathroom remodel. We talk about what we have coming up for the next week, what our goals are for the bathroom, how to better manage our trips to the hardware stores, and our plan for managing our time.

    I use Google Nest to help with shopping lists. We discuss Jeremy’s aversion to using it and why.

    What apps or tools do you use to help manage your time, schedule, or lists? Have you used Walmart+?  Come visit us on our social media and let us know

    There may have been a diversion in our conversation that ran down the rabbit hole of bygone social media platforms like Google+ and MySpace.

  • Managing Chaos and Finding Balance

    Jeremey and I talk about how we manage life through the chaos. We share some of the things we do when life gets overwhelming, how we prioritize the chaos, and manage to make time for the important things. Life can get so crazy sometimes and overwhelming, it’s how you manage it that is important. I also discuss how ADHD affects me and some of the ways I cope and the resources I use to help minimize the chaos.

    What are some of the ways you manage chaos or balance life when it gets overwhelming? Give us a comment on one of our social media posts and let us know. Links are below.

  • Winging It - Planning Our Week on the Fly

    Jeremy and I talk about what we have going on this week and what we need to accomplish. We had a couple of events this weekend for the Real Life Real Crime podcast Krewe Bash so our normal planning time was spent hanging out with friends and Woody Overton.

    Do you have those weekends where you don't do your normal routine and you have to wing it the next week? Well, that is us currently. We talk bathroom remodel, menu changes, balancing new health concerns, and getting all the things done. We were both so tired, you can probably tell, our energy is not as high as usual.

  • The Bathroom Made Me Do It

    In today's episode, we discuss how the bathroom forced us into an emergency remodel. This was not entirely unexpected, as you may have gathered from our sinking fund episode. If you haven't listened to that or the chronic pain episode, I highly recommend that you go listen to those first to get the full story on our plans and my current health condition. 

    We are also getting ready for a fun weekend away going to the Real Life Real Crime Krewe Bash. If you are a true crime fan, I could not recommend this podcast more. Woody Overton is the host of the podcast, former police officer, and polygrapher that tells stories from his personal experience as a detective. His podcast recently received national attention for solving the cold case of Courtney Coco, which went unsolved for 16 years.
