It’s like when you go to adopt a new puppy, with April Robson

Podcast Episodes, , , , , , , , , ,
Drumrollllllllll because we have our first ever guest on the show today! April Robson from @smidgeofthis and @charlottesjoy graces us with her presence as we get deep into the ups and downs of making friends as bonafide grown-ups. You can decide which of your two favorite podcast hosts, if any, you’d like to hit up for some light friendship-level stalking. Here’s some of the stuff we mention: What was that IG where some anonymous angel shows what she’s bought and liked? That was, oddly enough, @things.i.bought.and.liked over on Instagram! Thanks to April bringing this up (apparently Caroline has been holding out on us), Hannah recently discovered her newest fave IG follow. What podcast was Hannah raving about? That was Caliphate, produced by the New York Times and featuring Rukmini Callimachi. I promise this will enthrall you! You can check out our website over here to see previous episodes!

I Don’t Like the Sparking Joy Thing

Podcast Episodes

We’re talking women’s health today! Do you have high cholesterol? If the answer is “no, I’m not a middle-aged man,” then keep listening. Physicals may be something you haven’t thought of since high school sports eligibility but we’re bringing them up again now as grown-a** adults.

We also thought it would be fun to talk about what little tricks we use to help with focus and productivity. There’s so much out there vying for our attention, and it’s easy to fall into a wormhole of IG posts and Buzzfeed articles, or find ourselves rushing and succumbing to bad moods every morning. But we’ve found a few ways to get our butts in gear every day and stay focused on whatever it is we need to accomplish. We’d love to hear what YOU use to keep chugging along, so weigh in over on IG @agoodideapod!

Hannah has high cholesterol and that seems bananas!! Where can I find more info about heart health? You can check out this article out from the CDC, and we encourage you to go get a physical if you haven’t done that recently. Let’s make our health and well-being a common topic!

What does Caroline make for her kids’ breakfasts again? We talked about this in a former episode, but in case you want the recipe for the waffles Caroline loves, here they are again from Sprouted Kitchen!

What were the apps Hannah was talking about? It’s probably easier to list the apps she WASN’T talking about TBH- Hannah likes her apps! Here’s what she uses for productivity and focus: Things (for to-do’s and project management), Streaks (for setting personal goals), and Be Focused on the computer for the Pomodoro technique of time management and staying focused.

I can’t imagine what your eHarmony profile would look like

Podcast Episodes, , , , , ,

In this episode we get down to the nitty-gritty about what shows and movies we’re putting on when we get 5 minutes to ourselves. And speaking of tv and movies, what kind of stuff do we let our kids watch? Some of us are more laid back than others, which will surprise no listeners of more than one episode. Let us know what your favorites are over @agoodideapod on IG.

Here’s some other stuff we get into: The Golden Globes, reality tv, and which YA dystopian films are a hard pass. So pause your 16th re-watch of The Office and check in with your favorite non-experts this week!

Want to follow up with anything from the episode? We talked a little about Lindsay Lohan and her interesting accents (google this and thanks us later), Kids Trap, Brain Rules, Common Sense Media, and the documentary with the guy who pretends to be a wine connoisseur.

Adult Youtube Toy Video

Podcast Episodes, , , , , , ,

New year new pod topics! We’re diving in today with some real and faux talk about Space, our New Year’s Resolution wrap-up (some of us have more serious goals than others) and our topic of the day: birth order! Are you a Type-A oldest child? Stuck in the middle somewhere? The one-who-gets-it-all youngest? Or everyone’s favorite case study: the only child? Tune in and let us know where you fall on the continuum. And keep listening for hot takes on the best thing to do with your kids on NYE and which toys are the best for bribing your children into good behavior.

Things we talked about this episode:

Where can I find more info on the New Horizons spacecraft? We referenced this article in particular but there are many out there. Get to googlin’ and dive into the plethora of articles about the Pluto mission while you’re at it.

Caroline talked about some amazing sounding waffles. Where can I find the recipe? Right on over here.

Where can I find the information about birth order that you guys talked about? Caroline recommended this book, and you can find other links here and here.

And the game Hannah was referring to is not Heads Up, it’s actually called The Truth Comes Out. Thanks for gaslighting the audience, Caroline.

Running is my White Whale

Podcast Episodes, , ,

It’s the beginning of a whole new year! Do you believe in resolutions? We’re breaking that down in today’s episode. Shocking, we know.

This episode is a bit shorter than usual as we gear up for 2019, but we did talk about a few things you may want more information on:

You talked about a few different books. What’s the book about Alice? That was What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. The other one we talked about is called Grit by Angela Duckworth.

What was that workout plan Hannah likes? That was Jamie Eason’s “From Flat to All That, and you should check it out if you’re trying to get going in the gym. We’re all about more women in the weight room! (Of course, you should check with your doctor before beginning a new workout program and we aren’t in any way experts 😉
