This week we’re talking about some of our favorite Halloween candies and memories!

This week we’re getting traditional. Whether that is weekly traditions, annual traditions, or as we start to think about the holiday season, those awesome holiday traditions. We discuss why traditions are important, which ones we’ve kept from our childhood, and which ones we’ve started with our kids.

Today we are working on the made up rules we have heard over the years. "You have to do this." "You can't possibly do that." "Don't you know your kid will turn into a goblin eating mouse monster if you don't do this made up thing 54 times a month!?" We have all heard these rules. Do you agree with them? Spoiler alert: for the most part we don't.

Today Ethan follows the lead of some of the greats like Justin Timberlake and Beyonce... he goes solo. Alex is enjoying his wedding anniversary in Scotland with his wife. Ethan is leaving in the morning to surprise his grandmother for her 95th birthday, but really Ethan just wanted to share that he lost weight.

Today we are talking about finances, which is not always easy to discuss. We open up (without exact numbers) about our own finances, stresses, and struggles. We also go through some of our money management habits, and site some of our favorite financial resources.
