    Season 9 Ep 21: Back Podding and Smoke and Mirrors

    This year Rheannon is new to the candy cane game. Tamara is really leaning into the mini candy canes. There is a thing of too much sugar for the kids in her life, and what really is the appropriate amount of sugar before bed. After saying no one too many times, Tamara has bought a coin to flip instead. Now a coin will say no instead of Tamara having to say no. Rheannon thinks that she should invest in a weighted coin that always says no. Rheannon is sad that ski season is delayed, and the whole family is missing the sun at this point. Tamara has been enjoying good food living in Seattle. Rheannon ends the podcast with her concerns about facial hair that she os convinced smells like hot dogs. Let's just say that whether or not it is smoke and mirrors this episode goes downhill fast.

    Season 9 Ep 20: Stressful truck shopping and a rainbow chicken

    This week's episode kicks off with Tamara sharing her fun weekend with family eating a Thanksgiving dinner and visiting her Great-Aunt. Then Rheannon shares the trials and stress of buying a new vehicle. Tamara is puzzled by the riddle and is sad she can't solve it. Not everyone wants to drive a van it seems. Rheannon is not having fun with the adulting of buying a car. Birthday fun was underway with cake decorating for Rheannon's youngest daughter. Rheannon took her oldest to help pick out a birthday present for the youngest and of course landed on a rainbow chicken. The episode wraps up with a review of recent shows and movies we have watched. The big question of how scary Frankenstein is, but since neither of us have seen it is only speculation.

    Season 9 Ep 19: Geoduck soup attempt and drawing on pumpkins

    Tamara finally found geoduck to try and cook a chowder. It did not go as planned, but the flavor wasn't that back. Now it was not a true chowder, but at least the bet was settled. Rheannon had her own cooking mishap this week. Tamara came to visit Rheannon and did her best to lend a helping hand. The kids in matching pj's were very impressive, but Rheannon was less impressed with Tamara's choice of clothes dressing the kids in. Rheannon's toddler got attached to a pumpkin while at the store, so pumpkins were bought to carve. However, when we went to carve them the toddler just wanted to color on them. How long will the pumpkin last? Will the coloring continue until the pumpkin rots? Who knows, but it will definitely go downhill fast.

    Season 9 Ep 18: Board game nights and movie reviews

    Episode kicks off with a movie review and spoilers for Honey Don't.  Rheannon got fooled by some bad information off of TikTok that did not help for Fantasy Football. Tamara did her best to explain the rules to Bunko, but the biggest take away though is that Tamara won the most games when she played with her friends. Rheannon has been challenged to read a book since she picked a bad movie to watch. Tamara thinks they should watch a scary movie since it is October, but Rheannon thinks that will go down hill in not a fun way.

    This episode kicks off with Tamara returning from her adventures in Europe. Traveling with family in the U.K. started off with a day trip to the Edinburgh Castle including a train ride and so many sheep. Highlights included tea at Kensington Palace and seeing Hades Town.

Although there were no photos for proof, Tamara did make a friend in the process. Having fun travel seeing friends and going to an amusement park, and Tamara was sure to make time for snacks. Although the best meal of the whole trip was a homemade Sunday Roast while in Ireland. Rheannon has a very exciting weekend planned to celebrate her anniversary.

    Season 9 Ep 15: Bam Bam is crawling and summer swimming with kids at the pool

    This week's episode kicks off with the very exciting news that Rheannon's youngest, now nick-named Bam Bam, has started crawling. It is a whole new world with now both kids being mobile in Rheannon's house. Tamara finds herself making the rules while baby-sitting, and it getting used to being the one to make and enforce rules. Tamara went swimming with three kids, and at one point was racing two of the older kids. Although she warned the kids to avoid the other people in the pool. It mostly worked out, but Tamara was too busy beating the two kids swimming that she isn't exactly sure. Rheannon has made a mistake of buying too many carrots at the store, and we are hearing in real time just how her wife is planning on cooking all those carrots. Both Tamara and Rheannon think they will win at the driving range. They will have to go to Top Golf to settle this. It will surely go downhill fast, much like this episode.

    Season 9 Ep 14: Laundry detergent catastrophe and Renaissance Faire Fun

    This episode kicks off in the middle of a laundry detergent catastrophe. Someone, perhaps a cat, knocked over a Costco size container that then broke and spilled on the floor. Let's just say the noises coming from the other room really emphasize that someone was going through it having to clean it up. Tamara was just getting back from spending the night and day at the Renaissance Faire. Throwing axes and having the best time! Rheannon this year did approve of her outfit and effort more this year than last year. Tamara did not complete her homework of starting a new show, but she did at least get started. Rheannon is on board being a wing woman as Tamara get's into golfing and wondering if that is a way to meet guys. Let's just say much like this episode it will probably go downhill fast.

    Season 9 Ep 13: Montana Music Festival and preparing for trip to the coast

    This week's episode kicks off with a taste test of some cider from Tamara's Montana road trip.

Tamara got to see friends on her road trip, and then got to Missoula a few hours before her friend flew in for the music festival. Tamara went to a movie and a driving range to really enjoy a summer day in Missoula. Rheannon has some questions as she is preparing for a trip to the ocean. Tamara is perhaps a little more realistic on how many clams and crabs Rheannon and her fam will catch. Even if it goes downhill it will still be a lot of good memories and stories for the pod!
