    Hello, Early Fall!

    It’s apple season! So let’s dish about Midwest Living’s curry apple chicken salad recipe. And, to prepare our minds for fall, we also talk expert advice for little things we can do right now to set us off on the right foot for fall. And, we play our favorite real estate dreaming game, courtesy of Country Living Magazine: Would you rather?

    Saying Goodbye to Summer to Make Way for Fall

    Savoring the warmth and long, light-filled days is what early Septmber is all about. Just as one eye begins to peek at the fun of fall around the corner, we still have every right to hold on to the joys of summer for just a bit longer.  Our gardens certainly continue to grow wild and our dinner tables still call for easy, fresh options while dining al fresco.  And while we are always game to rush the coming of fall and all its coziness, the heat and the blazing sun simply won’t allow it. Therefore, we will take the cue from nature, and we will savor these last summer-like days just a little bit longer.  In today’s episode, we will recap the trending home magazine throughlines for summer 2024. From lake life to BLT’s, we will rewind and reflect - as inspired by the pages of our favorite home magazines.   Taking inspiration from the article Gardens Gone Wild in the August / September issue of Country Living magazine, we will discuss the state of our own gardens - as we find them in their late summer glory (or demise). Our friends and listeners will be sharing their State of the Garden addresses, as well.  The question on everyone’s mind, every single day of the year is What is for Dinner? We have the answer to that: Slow Cooker Pulled Pork,also from CL’s August/September issue. It’s been tasted. It’s been tested. And we have all of our notes to share with you.  It’s so good to be back, friends. Thank you for being here. Let’s celebrate these late summer days!

    The Snow Day Episode!

    It’s a cozy snow day! Let’s make Tuscan Bean and Italian Chicken Sausage Soup, talk gallery walls, and bake cookies for next week’s Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Test. In today’s episode, we embrace all that is a sweet and cozy snow day. And what do we want to do on our snow day? We want to bake, cook a warm dinner, and do a little something around the house to make the space feel and look a little bit more put together. We answer the question: What’s for Dinner? With a Tuscan Bean and Italian Chicken Sausage Soup from the February issue of All Recipes. We deep dive into the makings of a gallery wall -  inspired by an article called Portal to the Past in the February 2023 issue of Country Living magazine. And, we set you all up for a brand new, collective experience here at Page Living: our first annual Chocolate Chip Cookie Taste Test! We are all snowed in, and we have nowhere to be but right here with all of you and all of our magazines. So, let’s cozy in. This is the Page living Podcast, and YOU are welcome here.

    The Valentines Episode: Sweets, House Plants, and Hikes Are for Lovers

    Sponsored by Green Space Design by Jude In today’s episode, we are serving up ideas to make your Valentine’s Day cozy and connected - - inspired from the pages of our favorite home magazines.   We have taken the recipe for the Red Velvet Brownie Torte (hello!) from the February 2023 issue of Real Simple Magazine into our home test kitchens, and we are excited to share that recipe, as well as our thoughts and what we learned along the way about how to pull it off without a hitch. And that’s a good thing because with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, there’s no room for error.  And while flowers are lovely on Valentine’s Day, our magazines know us so well to know that a house plant is a much appreciated and adored exchange for the traditional bouquet. Both All Recipes and Sunset magazines in their February 2023 issues had articles on house plants, so we will dig into their appeal, their healing powers, and of course, how to keep them alive as we speak to plant shop owner, Jude Stevens of Green Space Design by Jude in Salem, Oregon.  And we fill in the gap with a topic that we felt was lacking in allllll of our magazines. Something that I personally was searching for and needing but could not find- and that is creative ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the family - alongside the usual chocolate indulgence and expressions of love. So, I’ll share an idea I have for everyone - and that is a Valentine’s Day Heart Hunt Hike. It’s a tradition we have done in our family since Milo was able to walk, and we look forward to it every year. So, if you’re needing an activity to do with the family on love day, this could be it.  Welcome to our Valentine’s Day celebration. Everyone put out your handmade kleenex box. It’s time to deliver tiny Valentines to each other. This is the Page Living Podcast. You are so loved. And you are more than welcome here.

    The Better Everything New Year Plan

    In today’s episode, we will let Real Simple guide us through 30 days to a better everything. How could you argue with that? We will tap into their daily suggestions that will help us eliminate the junk in our trunks (their words, not mine), the clutter in our kitchen cabinets, the stress in our schedules, and all the other stuff adding chaos to our days.  And we will play a dreamy round of Would You Rather - where we pick a pretty stone house that is currently for sale, brought to us by Country Living Magazine.  Welcome back. Happy 2023. A new year is upon us. Let’s get to it. This is the Page Living Podcast, and YOU are welcome here.

    The First Annual Holiday Cookie Exchange : Podcast Style

    If we were all together, we’d be having you over for a holiday cookie exchange. Likely we’d be wearing festive pajamas or holiday sweaters - or both. We’d all show up with a giant platter of our favorite cookies. And because the cookies are so delicious, we’d share the recipes and the stories behind why we love them so much. So let’s relish the joy of this shared experience together - brought together by sugar, held together by our hopeless sense of nostalgia and deep feels. This is our first annual holiday cookie exchange! Friends of Page Living are stopping by with their favorite cookies! Come for the recipes, stay for the stories. Happy holidays!

    Holiday Gifting Gide: Creative Wrapping, Advice, and Wish Lists

    Today’s episode is all about gifting - from wrapping to wish lists and the advice in between. We will take a look at how to craft the perfect snow-white clay gift tags. Spoiler alert: They make great ornaments, too. These tags were inspired by Annie Diamond’s Better Homes and Gardens article that we went on and on about last week.  We will practice using natural elements, like twigs and sprigs, for adorning wrapped packages - inspired by Magnolia.  Greenery and dried oranges will make another appearance as we craft gift tags, inspired by Real Simple.  Real Simple magazine throws down some gift-buying advice. And as someone who promises every December 26th that I will be better, do better, be more organized, be more on top of it NEXT Christmas, I am totally open to taking in all the tips they want to dish out.  And we will dig our way out of the pile of wish lists each magazine has generously curated for us, as we curate our very own wish lists from those lists.  The time to give is now. The time to start wrapping in creative ways is now. The time to delight the ones you love is now. And we are right here with you. This is the Page Living Podcast. And YOU are welcome here.
