    Are you sending your kids back to school? Are they physically going back or are they doing remote learning? All of these discussions are happening in our homes and being played out state by state around the country. We are having these same discussions in our family and we share our thoughts about our intentions for this upcoming school year. The beauty of this is that Kasha is a school administrator so we get some insight into what she is thinking. Best of the Best is awesome this episode.

    HLP: A Conversation About Becoming Parents

    HLP: A Conversation About Becoming Parents

    Our kids are back! We had to go home to check on Reese's mom and the girls stayed with Kasha's parents as a change of scenery from the quarantine life and we realized we missed them so much. That got us thinking about our journey to become parents and what went into the decision. Everyone thinks having a baby is easy and it is not. We talk about that - miscarriages, cherishing the time that we have with them and also making sure we make time for us. Great episode!!

Harried

Best people ever and I enjoy listening to them

Where’s the transparency?

So I was recommended to listen to this podcast “The Harried Life” and of course I started from the beginning with the Introduction. I must admit, I’m puzzled a little by the ending of the story of how you guys met. I personally feel that honesty and transparency is significant to transfer in a relationship. When you say that you were trying to duck and hide from Reese the day of graduation, was it because you weren’t single at the time?? And while he’s trying to navigate you through the crowd, you asking yourself “should I hold his hand.. should I not.. can I do this?” makes me wonder if there were other guy in the picture at that particular time that made you hesitate? Or a different love in your life that was present at your graduation.. Just curious hun, that’s all. The vocabulary threw me off a bit and didn’t seem very honest and sincere.
