2 Babes and a Bad Idea

2 Babes and a Bad Idea

Welcome to the 2 Babes and a Bad Idea Podcast! We are Carrie & Kristine. Best friends first and business partners second. When you have been best friends for over 25 years you have a lot to talk about - from owning a business together, having kids, managing and juggling life, husbands and everything in between. You might know us from Lavender & Lace Boutique and our weekly lives but we can't wait to show you another side of us, the unfiltered side. Join us each week as we take the typical conversation up a notch - you can expect us to be real, unfiltered, and raw.
