How You Living!? (Corona Style)

The global pandemic COVID-19 has taken us by surprise and we've all had to build the plane as we're flying, as the saying goes. Parents across the country are having to learn how to balance working from home while keeping their kids entertained and educated. It's hard, but we have found that there have been some unexpected lessons that parents are learning.

We hope this podcast episode finds you healthy as we weather this storm together.

Isolationist Anniversary

It's our anniversary. 11 years of marriage. In this episode we talk about how we're dealing with the global pandemic that is COVID-19 while still celebrating each other. And what do you do during your anniversary during a pandemic? Luckily in New Mexico there are lots of open spaces where it's easy to isolate. We visited Mogollon, NM, a ghost town, and drove down dusty roads near Silver City, NM.

Hey America, Save Us a Piece of That Corn

Yeah, don't hoard the corn. If you hoard the corn, then there's not enough to go around. But seriously, the times we're living in are surreal. People are clearing out grocery stores, buying up all the toilet paper, pasta, meats, canned food, even ramen.

We hope it'll be okay. We also hope this episode finds you well. If you're quarentied, or social distancing, perhaps we can find a spot in our podcast rotation. Thanks if we do.

Pineapple Upside-down Cake and Coffee Talk

If you're into ASMR then you'll really be into this episode. But seriously? What's up with ASMR? We just don't understand it. And that's okay. There are things that we don't understand and we don't have to understand. To us though, eating and weird noises can be annoying to each other. That's marriage though, right? We look past the things that annoy us and move forward, looking more towards the things that we love about each other. So, we ask you, dear listener, to do the same. We'll be slurping coffee, and munching on cake, and there's background noise, but let it be endearing. Join us in the coffee shop. Imagine that you're eating cake and sipping on coffee with us. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Learning to Love

What does it look like to love yourself? We've both gone through periods of time where we just don't like ourselves. I think it's important to care about yourself so that you're ready to love others. Maybe I'm wrong. We kinda talk through this idea on this episode. Enjoy!

Where's This Plane Landing, Anyway?

We had a list of topics to discuss and haphazardly went through those topics. Liminal space, gratitude, cults, megachurches, instapot, and an apocalypse were among the topics. Enjoy!

In the Thick of Your Adultness

There comes a time in your life... In this episode we discussed what it's like to feel like you've made the wrong decision. We feel like our 30s have been self discovery, trying to discern what is worth dedicating our lives to. It's been a series of mistakes in parenting, in our careers, in our marriage. Now, we're trying to find out where to go. The journey isn't over, but this is us trying to talk through some of it. Enjoy!
