]]> 5353 Ep. 381 Sorta frugal eating and Q&A This is the ultimate girlfriend chat. Rebekah and Kelly take over the podcast this week, to allow Meg to tend to her hospitalized mother. They asked the Awesomes in the Hangout if they had questions they wanted us to tackle - and as usual, the Awesomes delivered. Expect a few life updates, some honest talk about what they are watching these days and what will happen if/when (we're going with when) the Sorta Awesome team ever meets in person. Then they share their favorite frugal meal tips - including a snack from Kelly that shocked Rebekah - and some recipes that work well to feed your people when you are pinching pennies.

The Reverend Paige Evers joins Meg to talk about her path to seminary, how parenting brought a pause to her call to ministry, and how she and her husband have developed an approach to co-pastoring that allows them to live within healthy boundaries while each of them fulfill their callings.

All of that plus some journaling inspiration and a glossy red lip favorite in Awesome of the Week!

Erin and I talk about that advice she gave me, and then we talk about how the bundle business grew into what it has become today. Finally, she explains what all you can expect to find in the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle 2015.    SHOW NOTES: 1.

In the opening minute of the show, I mistakenly refer to this as episode two of the show, even though it is, in reality, episode three. Viva la sorta! That doesn’t dampen my excitement about this episode at all, however, because I am so thrilled to introduce you to the third regular co-host of this incredibly awesome team! Kelly Gordon of Love Well is one of my long-time blogging friends, and she is all kinds of awesome. I am so thrilled that she said yes to joining me in this project. Today, I manage to stretch Kelly’s five minute life story into ten minutes (at least!) because I cannot stop asking her questions about her life, particularly about the years she worked as a local news producer. She shares about the challenges of solo parenting along with the one thing she is always talking about, a topic that I got quite a kick out of. All of that and - as always - we share our Awesome of the Week! Click here to listen to Ep. 03! Show notes: 1) What my first blog looked like when Kelly and I became friends. (Oh, 2007. Bless your heart.) 2) Kelly and I are both ENFPs married to INTJs - a Myers-Briggs match that is a lot of things but never boring! (Don’t know your MB type? We talk about it a lot around here. The 16personalities.com test is my current favorite of the online version of the tests.) 3) Here, let Ariel illustrate why this episode is almost an hour long! 4) I’ll happily confess to being a BIG fan of Stitch Fix! Click here to check it out for yourself if you haven’t already!  I kept trying to get a good picture of my new top but it never happened. You can find better examples than my clumsy description  here and here. 5) Kelly, for this gift of inspiration, we thank thee! Chipotle-Glazed Meatloaf with Sweet Potatoes. And yes. Yes! I HATE CILANTRO. Don’t try to change me. It’s genetic. 6) Finally, if Miss Pretty doesn’t just look like the loveliest archetype of a California girl, then I don’t even know what: Find Kelly on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!

You’ll be happy to know this is the first episode in which I get to prove I really am only sorta awesome - not fully awesome. In the opening minute of the show, I mistakenly refer to this as episode two of the show, even though it is, in reality, episode three. Viva la sorta! That doesn’t dampen my excitement about this episode at all, however, because I am so thrilled to introduce you to the third regular co-host of this incredibly awesome team! Kelly Gordon of Love Well is one of my long-time blogging friends, and she is all kinds of awesome. I am so thrilled that she said yes to joining me in this project. Today, I manage to stretch Kelly’s five minute life story into ten minutes (at least!) because I cannot stop asking her questions about her life, particularly about the years she worked as a local news producer. She shares about the challenges of solo parenting along with the one thing she is always talking about, a topic that I got quite a kick out of. All of that and - as always - we share our Awesome of the Week! Click here to listen to Ep. 03! Show notes: 1) What my first blog looked like when Kelly and I became friends. (Oh, 2007. Bless your heart.) 2) Kelly and I are both ENFPs married to INTJs - a Myers-Briggs match that is a lot of things but never boring! (Don’t know your MB type? We talk about it a lot around here. The 16personalities.com test is my current favorite of the online version of the tests.) 3) Here, let Ariel illustrate why this episode is almost an hour long! 4) I’ll happily confess to being a BIG fan of Stitch Fix! Click here to check it out for yourself if you haven’t already!  I kept trying to get a good picture of my new top but it never happened. You can find better examples than my clumsy description  here and here. 5) Kelly, for this gift of inspiration, we thank thee! Chipotle-Glazed Meatloaf with Sweet Potatoes. And yes. Yes! I HATE CILANTRO. Don’t try to change me. It’s genetic. 6) Finally, if Miss Pretty doesn’t just look like the loveliest archetype of a California girl, then I don’t even know what: Find Kelly on her blog, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram!
