This week we are talking about what is giving us life with the segment What’s in Your Pantry? Some of the ways we are struggling WELL in the kitchen: Rebecky put all those kids of hers to good use and started a meal planning committee at her house. Emily has been eating raw fish and suggests spicing up sandwiches with a panini press and Katie feels strongly about the phrase “pop a broccoli”.  What you are hearing right now is a small portion from our Patreon episode this week.

We are sharing a full episode this week that the Struggs loved over on Patreon earlier this year. Since it’s the holidays and our personal lives are a bit turned upside down, we knew that you all would understand us taking a breather! We can’t wait to return with a new episode in two weeks on how we plan to Struggle WELL in 2021!  Rebroadcast from October 19, 2020 Patreon Episode: Few cool things happening around here! This is the first episode with our new segment songs from the one and only Katie Stump. We begged her to sing more songs for us like her Problem Solved ditty and this episode has the debut jingle. We played a game of Would You Rather and laughed until we cried. We even did a little bit of regular crying too because real life is pretty dang difficult some days. We wrapped up by announcing the first Better Life Bags gift card winner! Was it you?! It's all too exciting!

Thanksgiving might not go the way you want. This whole year hasn’t gone as planned. Let’s struggle well this Thanksgiving by blessing our mother-in-laws and our difficult cousins and our rude grandpas by JUST being happy to be there. Or maybe you are skipping Thanksgiving this year or turning it on it’s head and ordering Domino’s. Struggle well through that!  Consider yourself challenged, friend. In response to every Thanksgiving decision or plan change or food mishap; have a perspective shift towards grace. Practice in the mirror responding “That’s perfect“ to anything that you think might be coming your way. Let’s make it a year to remember!
