2026-11-0350:51

I thought it was a good time to replay this conversation with the wonderful ladies at Rapt Reusable Gift Wrap, Monica and Cindy from 2024, since the holidays are upon us... (I went grocery shopping on November 1 and didn't find discounted candy, but was overwhelmed by the constant Christmas music. ALREADY.) Oh my gosh, I just loved this conversation with Monica and Cindy of Rapt Gift Wrap! Their business is fabric wrap, to reduce the paper waste from gift wrapping, and it's so beautiful! I th...

2026-10-2749:06

I was excited to get to talk with Liz McDade, because I'm a daydream crafter, but don't give myself time to learn to do new things. I had no idea who I was speaking with, though! Liz is no joke on the crafting and sustainability front! Check out this link of speaking events she's done! https://notraceshop.com/media/ Liz is also SO easy to speak with, and I love that she is so real about perfection. She has a shop where you can buy some crafted low-waste items, but she is moving toward teachi...

2026-10-0656:34

I'm so thrilled to have Carol Connare back on the pod again, just about 2 years later - I'm a big fan of Carol, and The Old Farmer's Almanac. The team at The Old Farmer's Almanac recently started their own podcast, AND the 2027 Almanac just came out in September, so I'm excited to hear all about what to be looking for. 2027 is the 235th anniversary of the Almanac, so there's a LOT to catch up on! I think I was too starstruck 2 years ago to ask about weather and climate change, but I did this ...

2026-09-2901:01:28

I'm bringing back this episode from 2023 with my friend Jenny, who is such a wealth of knowledge and life experience; I'm currently bending her ear about house sale and buying, because she also worked for a real estate office... I loved this episode, going over this list of frugal tips from the depression - I love hearing about what earlier generations did, because it feels like things are just more reliable when you do it yourself, and I want to learn them all! The list link is at the end he...
