Food Swap Love | 139 Aug 07, 2018

Show notes

Awhile ago, I talked to Bethany Rydmark about her work as a landscape architect. I loved our chat about what she does, but she casually mentioned something that I really wanted to know more about:

She started the PDX Food Swap in Portland, Oregon.

What's a food swap? Well, listen in and you'll see — and maybe you'll be inspired to start one of your own in your city, neighborhood, block, church, or simply among a group of friends.

What's Saving My Life (1/4) | 135 Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Because we're taking some time off from work this summer, we thought it'd be fun to give you a low-key, easy series for July: What's Saving My Life.

This is always a fan favorite, where I talk with each of my co-hosts about the little things that are making our lives just a bit happier and brighter right now.

First up? Stephanie, who's currently out and about, exploring Eastern Europe with her fam. Enjoy!

The WRLD at Home | 134 Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

Before we get going on our next deep-dive series (starting next week), I thought it'd be fun to give you a little sneak peek at what I'm doing behind the scenes right now in Patreon. It's called The WRLD at Home — where WRLD stands for Watch, Reed, Listen, and Do.

I'm having a ton of fun creating this side project, so here's a preview behind the curtain at what I'm sharing with the patrons! (Each WRLD episode is short, so what you've got here is actually two episode drops, back-to-back.)

Enjoy!

Grown-Upping the Summer (4/4) | 133 Jun 26, 2018

Show notes

We're wrapping up this series on making the most of our summer — even as adults — by me tapping into Kendra's wheelhouse this time. In the last episode, I helped her prep for a family road trip. In this one? She's helping me think through a dinner party. Because our house is still fixer-upper mode, but I don't want that to stop us from having friends over. Kendra's got a fun take on the basic idea of a "dinner" party… You'll see what I mean.

Grown-Upping the Summer (3/4) | 132 Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

Keeping on in our series on making the most of our summer — beyond just making them fun for kids — for the next two episodes, Kendra and I each tap into our wheelhouses and help each other.

First up... I'm helping Kendra prep for her family's summer vacation. She admits they don't travel much, and well — we do quite a bit. So in this chat, you'll hear me walk her through the ins and outs of packing, roadtripping, and guesthouse life.

Most of all, we get into the most important key to successful family travel: mindset. Because if you go in thinking it'll be just like traveling with only adults, you'll be in for a surprise. But if you're willing to embrace the reality of travel with kids, you might find it's more fun than you imagined.

Grown-Upping the Summer (2/4) | 131 Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

Continuing our series on grown-upping the summer, this time Kendra and I talk about work. Because sure, it's summer, but also, we're adults with jobs and stuff.

As self-employed types, we talk about how we get work done with kids in the house — hers are a bit younger, so she shares juggling toddlers and young school-age kiddos, while my oldest is now 13 and I can attest: it makes allllll the difference now in my own work life.

Basically, what I'm saying to the working parents with tinies at home is: before you know it, it most likely will get easier. I've been exactly where you are and thought it'd never happen.

It's still a challenge for me, though, so I share how expectations make or break me when it comes to getting work done in the summer. Plus, there's a newer pressure I didn't feel a few years ago when everyone was smaller:

I'll blink, and kids will start leaving the house. So family-bonded summers actually feel more important than ever right now.

Grown-Upping the Summer (1/4) | 130 Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

Summertime isn't just for kids or students! Kendra and I start a new series here on how we can make the most out of our own summers, even if we've got kids at home, or even if not much as changed in our working day-to-day.

In this first installment, we talk about bucket lists… in that's fun to have our own. Sure, we make one with the kids, but who's to say we can't do our own? It all comes down to reasonable expectations — no remodeling the entire house or spontaneous 3,000 mile road trips here.

Kick off the summer with us! This is a fun series.
