We're just two Southern girls with a lot to say learning to find ALL THINGS GOOD in each day. Johnna is an interior designer living the big city life in Austin, and Laura is a preacher's wife who teaches marketing and sales at Mississippi State and lives on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Pull up a chair or pop in those earphones and get ready to laugh as we cover it all. Parenting, marriage, church and religion, design, teaching, direct sales -- and things we haven't even thought of yet. But we'll end it with ALL THINGS GOOD that we're finding in our lives each week!
This week is special, y'all. Johnna sits down with her amazing daughter, Anna, for an honest and unscripted conversation about parenting. If you're raising teens or pre-teens, you definitely don't want to miss this. Big "thank you" to Anna for being a part of this ATG conversation and if you're watching on YouTube, there's no video this week because we were both recording from our cars. #committed
