In this week’s cozy convo, Lauren and Michelle dive into the spooky world of consumerism—just in time for Halloween, where boo baskets are practically an Olympic sport! They discuss how making lasting memories is far more rewarding than stockpiling plastic spiders and pumpkin-shaped candy bowls. With the cost of living making wallets weep, they find joy in simple pleasures, like watching baking shows (because who doesn’t love a good soufflé drama?). Their chat highlights the art of mindful living—because let's be honest, who needs more stuff when you can have experiences that don’t end up in the attic? Plus, they tackle the role of social media in parenting, proving that sometimes the best filter is just good old-fashioned common sense. Tune in for a laugh and maybe a few “aha” moments! Hot Topics: Bengston’s Farm, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and the Chicago Marathon.
