8.2 Room by Room: The Kitchen, Pantry, and Laundry Room

The goal of this episode is to inspire us to love our homes for the tools that they are and to build our affection for them.

8.1 Room by Room: Introduction

No, we haven't lost our minds, and no, you haven't lost yours. We had to pause Season 7 due to life circumstances and switch to a topic that required no guests. We want several women to join us for Season 7, but life is just too unsettled at the moment. We're hoping to pick season 7 up later this year. For now, we're going to talk about Function, Order, and Beauty in the different rooms of the house. (We apologize for the lack of show notes.)

7.2: Thrifting, Foraging, and Frugality: Our Personal Takes

Sarah and Abby both thrift, but come at it from different perspectives and experiences. We hope this inspires you to consider the why behind the what for yourself. This can help you focus and sharpen your thrifting experience. You may ignore the part at the beginning where we discuss Instagram. We've already shut down our account. Sorry.
