  • High Cost of Living vs. Low Cost of Living Areas
    May 26 2023
    Why does it matter if you live in a high cost of living (HCOL) vs. a low cost of living (LCOL) area? With the rise of remote work, the proximity of family and the price of everything from gas to a gallon of milk on people's minds, it can matter a lot. But just because you can afford a mansion in West Virginia doesn't mean you should move there right away. In this episode we talk about what you really want out of the place you're going to live, why it makes sense to put down roots when you have a family, and how you can use living in a HCOL area to your advantage.

  • Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne, Book Summary (Pt. 2)
    May 11 2023
    Here we go with part 2 – What's the kid's responsibility and what's the parent's responsibility? How much do we need to tell our kids, and how to gauge whether to say something to our kids ("is it true/kind/necessary and will it help your child feel secure?"). We talk about stories from Kim John Payne's book, including the story of a mom going to a new park with their 2 year old, and how a group of parents in New York fell into the "peer-parenting" trap. We talk about how to stop a kid from interrupting, from making unreasonable demands, and  how to ultimately recognize the best in our kids instead of pointing out things we don't like.
