Kristine (00:07):
Hey, it's Christine
and Carrie and we're
Carrie (00:09):
best friends and we are
the owners of Lavender and Lace
Boutique, an online women'sboutique based out of Sherwood
Park, Alberta.
And we started a podcast, uh,just to hear ourselves talk.
Kristine (00:19):
Welcome to Two Babes
Podcast.
Welcome.
All right.
Should we just deep dive in?
Let's just do it.
Carrie (00:26):
Okay.
So, uh, we are going to betaking a little podcast hiatus.
Kristine (00:33):
A little podcast nappy
nap.
A little snoozer.
We
Carrie (00:39):
have hit the point where
we just don't have time to do
these during the week.
Um, for a lot of reasons.
First one being...
Let's list them off.
Oh gosh.
Um, so when we started thepodcast, we didn't know that our
social media manager would beleaving shortly after.
(01:01):
Honestly, while we have the mostamazing team right now, we're
still down a full person in thatteam and Christine and I, I
don't want to say we're pickingup slack because we're not.
No.
But we have taken on newportions of our job that, to
(01:22):
assist our team.
Yes.
And probably new.
Tasks that will stay with us.
Kristine (01:29):
We're essentially
doing a lot of job sharing.
Yeah.
And we're a little bit stretched
Carrie (01:34):
thin.
We are.
And, you know, a lot of thestuff we're doing.
You know, like I said, it'sprobably going to be our job for
a while.
Totes, yep.
Or forever.
Yes.
One of the two.
But we just need to get into anew groove and our business is
still our number one priority.
Kristine (01:52):
100%.
So.
Which is why we're just.
Just being completelytransparent and honest with you
guys and just explainingourselves.
Um, although I know we don'tneed to because you guys just
really understand us in so manydifferent ways and we are so
grateful for you.
Um, we just, we wanted to beauthentic and honest.
(02:17):
So that's kind of where we're atright now.
Carrie (02:18):
So you know, The, that
part was a really big for us,
but we also found that insteadof, you know, having time to
record this podcast, we werejust slamming out episodes that
we didn't have time to thinkabout.
We didn't have time to, youknow, um, discuss.
It just, uh, you know, it's justbeen.
(02:40):
Yeah,
Kristine (02:41):
it's something that we
don't want to get rid of forever
and we want to bring it back.
So we're just taking a littlepausey pause.
Carrie (02:48):
And we don't want to
like just, you know, like do the
episodes just for the sake ofdoing them.
Yeah.
Because
Kristine (02:53):
that's...
And we want to do itauthentically, and we don't want
to do it with stress in mind oron our shoulders because we have
a lot going on right now, and wedon't want it to be the tipping
point because it's somethingthat we thoroughly, genuinely
enjoy.
Yeah, we
Carrie (03:09):
do.
So it's just one, you know,Christine and I the other day, I
looked at her and I'm like, Ithink the podcast has to go for
a bit.
You know, it wasn't even adiscussion.
It was like, yeah, yeah, becauseit just isn't fitting into our
day right now.
No.
And, um, you know, our businessneeds our focus because we are
(03:29):
going into our busy
Kristine (03:30):
season and without our
business, there would be no
podcast.
Correct.
Correct.
We, uh, we just have to put our,we have to put a hundred.
We're 110 percent into ourbusiness right now, so we can
come back to this with, um, agood head on our shoulders
because like I said, there's alot of stress going on in our
life right now.
If we continue doing this, wewouldn't be doing it, um,
(03:53):
properly and I feel like youguys would be able to feel the
negatives
Carrie (03:58):
on it.
So, yeah, and we can't, we can'tlet our business suffer because
of this.
Like, I love the podcast, I loveit, but at the end of the day,
it, it, it's not what Thank you.
Makes money and pays the billsand exactly
Kristine (04:09):
staff.
Yes.
100%.
Carrie (04:11):
You know, so that's
where that's going and we're
going to miss you guys, butstill follow us on Instagram.
Yes.
We'll still post on there.
Yes.
Kristine (04:19):
And we also want to
mention that we are going to
continue our book club as ofright now.
Yeah.
Um, we do have a book, um,underway right now.
It's called the perfectmarriage.
If you haven't had a chance toread it, yeah.
Pick it up because it's, it is agood one.
Um, and we're going to continuethat.
We still have that episodeplanned for the 24th of
(04:39):
September.
Um, and then we're just going totake it day by day.
And if we are able to getanother book out for you guys,
great.
But, um, if we're not able todo, let's say October or
November, whichever, um, It'snot because we don't want to,
it's just because we have a lotgoing on.
(05:01):
Um, October for myselfpersonally is going to be a
schmozzle of a month.
So I, like, you know, I can'tguarantee anything.
Carrie (05:10):
No.
So we're just, we're doing thebest we can.

Current this time in
our season of life, it
Carrie (05:44):
just, this season does
not allow for the podcast
recording.
Kristine (05:47):
And it's, yeah, it's a
bummer.
It's a real bummer, but we'regoing to have so many great
things at LLB that I feel likeyou guys are going to be happy
with a little bit of a trade offright now.

We're in the season of our liferight now.
Kristine (09:31):
And it's quite the
season.
It is.
Carrie (09:33):
But it's been, you know,
I feel very accomplished at the
end of the day most days.
Yeah.
You
Kristine (09:37):
know?
Me too.
Totally.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I just wanted to say, we didsay on our live the other day
that we were gonna promise thatwe were gonna do a quick, just
what we thought about theconcerts that we had.
Oh, okay.
We did promise that.
So it's gonna be very, very,very, very, very brief.
Okay, so we, Carrie and I wentto the Chicks the other night,
and we, um, briefly talked aboutit on the Monday Night Live, and
(10:00):
we said we'd, you know, spillthe beans.
We didn't like it.
I hated it.
Carrie (10:04):
Yes.
I actually hated the concert.
Yeah, so
Kristine (10:07):
this, the singing,
they did, was great.
It was, they did a great job.
However, the concert itself wasso bamboozley.
I
Carrie (10:16):
hated it.
Yeah.
There was pauses.
Awkward breaks.
Awkward.
So awkward.
Like the lights just went off onthe stage and then, I don't know
what they were doing, likereorganizing the stage, which is
fine, but like, so often, inbetween every song there was a
weird pause.
They sang their new album from2020, which I knew one song off
of.
I knew more because we listenedto it the week before.
(10:38):
More than half of their songswere new.
And like, that's not what I'mhere for.
I'm here to relive my my glorydays.
Okay?
And that's what I wanted.
I wanted to dance.
And relive it and I couldn't andno joke, you guys, if I hadn't
popped gummies at the before theshow, I probably would have
left.
Kristine (10:58):
The reason why I had a
time of my life is because that
we had the gummies and I waswith my best friend.
But let me tell you, otherwise,I felt like I was just sitting
through their political agenda.
Yeah, it was just
Carrie (11:09):
a lot for me.
It was
Kristine (11:10):
too much.
I'm not going to get into it,but it was just too much.
And if you were there and youenjoyed it.
Awesome.
I'm glad that you enjoyed it.
Yeah.
If you were there and you hatedit, welcome to the club.
Yeah.
And if you wanted to go and younow are listening and you're
like, well, glad I didn't wastemy money.
Good for you.
Yeah.
Carrie (11:28):
Yeah.
I just, I did like Christinesaid, and I'm, we're not going
to go into it.
Whatever your beliefs are,doesn't matter to me, but like,
that's just not the time andplace.
Agreed.
Because.
You know, yeah, it just feltweird.
It did felt very pushy.
It was very pushy, which isn'tmy vibe.
