We'll Figure it out: Adulting and Parenting over 40

Today we explore the depths of romance and affection we share for each other.  Who are we kidding?  Join us as we discuss Valentine's day, our challenges as of late, work woes, and balance, or lack thereof.  We also take a dive into unnecessary adult drama and ex-wives.  Be forewarned, alcohol was indeed involved.  We hope you'll enjoy our latest episode of... We'll figure it out.

Jeremy, Noah, and Dee discuss the changes to our holidays now that some of the kids aren't living with us. We talk about how Christmas can evolve as children grow up and move out, and how depression can affect our ability to be in the Christmas spirit. 

The past few months have been a struggle for our family and it has been difficult for all of us to find the joy of the holidays. What are some ways your family celebrates the h...

It was a long day. We opened a bottle of wine and started talking. We covered updates on what's going on in our life, some history about flooding and the levee system in the New Orleans area, and many other unrelated topics. The wine we were drinking was Jenn Pfieffer, from Naked Wines. 

Grab a glass of your favorite beverage and join us for a little conversation and fun.

On today's episode, Jeremy and I reveal what the super-secret category was in our budget. We explain all the code words from the last episode and what it means in relation to the super-secret budget category.

Back in April, we shared with you our budget planning and sinking funds. In that episode, we discussed our many budget categories and our sinking fund categories. One of the sinking fund categories was a super-secret fund. We were ready to share with everyone what we were planning and we weren't really sure if it would happen or when, so we wanted to keep in on the dl.

After months of delays and a multitude of stress, we finally ha...

This week Jeremy takes over the mic and leads the way on the adventure that is empty nesting. It has come time in his life where all his little birdies have flown the coop, so so speak. All of Jeremy's biological children no longer live with us, two of them have stepped into adulting, the other one lives full-time in another state. A couple weeks ago his oldest moved out on his own and has been the last to fly the nest.

It feels like a little bit of Déjà vu. Updates on my health, Walmart+, and our bathroom remodel. We talk about what we have coming up for the next week, what our goals are for the bathroom, how to better manage our trips to the hardware stores, and our plan for managing our time.

Jeremey and I talk about how we manage life through the chaos.
