Capturing your Holiday memories
In an age where we have thousands of photos on our phones do we really need to talk about capturing memories? Yes! Holidays need present people, capturing purposefully. How can we do this without spending hours with our phone out? Or just getting distracted by our many apps and msgs? Listen for some fun tips and tricks, including what types of cool cameras (each easy enough for anyone) you can purchase to use for YEARS to come.

The Cottage(core) Life
I remember the first time I saw the aesthetic cottagecore (where it was actually named that), it was about two years ago and my first thought was - omg thats it…thats what I want! This episode is me detailing (and laughing) about the cottage core lifestyle. Tune in to hear about sourdough, thrifting and dresses.

An at home Halloween
Little bits and pieces of how we celebrate Halloween, how you can bring the spirit of the season into your home and with your kids. AND I will be sharing some fun personal memories from listeners this podcast (something I hope to do a lot more of). NOTE: The audio is a little wonky on this recording. My new phone doesn't work with my microphone (getting a converter this week) and so the audio is a little odd, thanks for baring with me!

Cozy reading this fall
What could be better to discuss as those cool autumn evenings breeze in but reading! One of my favorite topics of all time. I read close to 100 books a year and honestly I love just about any excuse to talk about it. Follow me on Goodreads! In this episode I'll be talking about how I make time for reading as a busy mom, my personal reading list for the rest of September and fall reading recommendations for you. I also have a SUPER fun freebie. I created an Autumn Reading Bingo! I think I'm going to do a fun prize for anyone who enters and completes it before thanksgiving. Click the link below and be sure to dm me at my Quiet Lives Instagram. HERE is the link to the BINGO BOARD. And it's suitably cozy as well of course.

Becoming a Localvore
What is a locavore? a person whose diet consists mainly of locally grown or produced food. Is this me? Definitely not 100%! But I would say roughly 65-70% of our food I source locally. In this episode I will talk about what it looks like to be a locavore, tips and tricks I've found, how to do this on a budget and how to start small. Important links.
