Ep. 93 : Dating (in Marriage)

Simple ·

2017/09/11

Dates are great—sometimes. But when you add up things like babysitting and eating out, plus the challenge of finding the right time on the calendar... sitting on the couch with Netflix and a killer dessert feels just as special. In this episode, Tsh talks with co-host Kendra Adachi about dating their spouses. What works for them right now as parents with full calendars, tired bodies, and limited funds? They love their men, but dating them looks differently than when they were younger and tied down

Ep. 92: Friendships

Simple ·

2017/09/04

Sometimes it's hard to make time for friends as an adult. And draining. And potentially awkward. But also completely worth it. In this episode, Tsh talks with co-host Erin Loechner about friendships—how do they make time for the life-giving people in our life? How do they make sure we're a good friend back? How do they set healthy boundaries in these relationships? They talk about what it means to invite other people into their lives, even when it's messy and inconvenient. Because the crazier life

Ep. 91: Kids' Education

Simple ·

2017/08/28

This episode isn’t about any particular educational method—it’s about how we parents go about deciding what’s best for our individual kiddos and our collectives families. Stephanie homeschools her kids, and we send our kids to a three-day hybrid school—and we’ve also done almost every type of school under the sun. They all have their plusses and minuses, and we’re grateful for them all! Let’s talk about how we decide what’s best for a particular season of life. Learning loves, learning challenges,

Ep. 90: Eating Locally

Simple ·

2017/08/21

Chickens, canning, farmer’s markets, and prepackaged food from the grocery store. There’s a place for all of it… and also a place to not make it our thing, guilt-free. It’s all good. We know we’re “supposed” to eat local, but what does that look like in the real world? In the spirit of our no/yes season, Tsh and Haley go back and forth and share what they let go of in the name of sanity, even if they'd love to have the time/money/freedom/ability to do [insert local-eating habit here]. But

Simple ·

2017/08/14

There are so. many. things. to watch these days. How do you choose what to see with your precious few viewing hours? That’s the topic of this episode… How to not be overwhelmed by the onslaught of entertainment choices we have. They say it’s the Golden Age of television—there’s more than any one person can watch. If you don’t want to spend your life in front of a screen, yet you do enjoy the occasional movie and TV show, how do you watch what you want to watch without it becoming an addiction, a

Ep. 88: No & Yes

Simple ·

2017/08/07

It’s a new season of The Simple Show! In this episode, we'll pull back the curtain on what we’ll be talking about for awhile. Our days are spent making thousands of decisions, and a bit at a time, it’s from the choices we make that we carve out a life. What we say yes and no to matters, possibly more than anything else. Most of our decisions don’t involve black or white decisions. They lie in the gray. They look like deciding between all good things. They look like distinguishing what’s good from

Ep. 87: When to Quit

Simple ·

2017/08/02

We start our new season of The Simple Show in the next episode, and it's gonna be fantastic. But today I've got a conversation I don't want you to miss. My friend (and AoS writer) Brooke McAlary recently announced she's quitting Jackrabbit, the podcast network she helped found—and when she did, I thought, Hmm.... I could use a good chat with her. So, we poured ourselves some coffee and hit record. We're 8,400 miles away—she's in Sydney, and I'm here in Central Texas. (If you read At Home, it's her

It's the last episode of our summer series, Women's Work! Tsh talks with Liz Vice, a singer-songwriter. She’s a gospel, soul, and R&B artist from Portland, Oregon who loves story telling—she’s gone from behind the scenes in the film and video world to right behind the mic. It was a line of work she got into accidentally—growing up, she always thought she’d be in film, not in music. Liz talks about the heart behind what she does—what motivates her, the risks she’s taken moving across the country, why

Next up in our summer series, hearing from entrepreneurs, artists, and creatives as they let us peek behind the curtain and learn more about what they do—Tsh talks to Alison Glass. She's a fabric and pattern designer... and Tsh has known her since the 7th grade, they lived together for two years in college, and they were each other’s maids-of-honor. You could say they go way back. Alison started fabric designing just a few years ago, but her work has taken off like wildfire. Her fabrics are

2017/06/28

Next up in our series about creative women who do interesting work, Tsh talks to a woman who, on a whim (and fresh out of college herself), told a group of Ugandan women that she'd pay their way to college.

Ep. 78: Summer Hospitality & Entertaining

Simple ·

2017/05/31

When we say "hospitality," we don't mean fancy tablescapes and canapes—we mean, it's cool to use paper plates. In this chat, Tsh and Erin talk about what it means to make your home a place people want to be. They talk about ways to make your house the "kid hangout spot," where to focus on house cleaning when people are coming over and your house isn't so clean, and easy food to serve.

Simple ·

2017/05/24

Epic global travel is all well and good, but what about family roadtrips in your own country? (What a concept!) Tsh talks with Kat Lee, host of the Inspired to Action podcast, whose family has nailed the American family roadtrip. Every summer, they drive somewhere new in a quest for hitting all lower 48 states with their kids before they leave the nest.

Simple ·

2017/05/17

There's no better time to catch up on good stories than in the summer. We're not sure why (a leftover from our childhoods?), but the lazy days of summer beg for a good book and a cold drink.

Ep. 74: "Capsule" Wardrobes

Simple ·

2017/05/03

There's quotes around capsule on this podcast's title because Tsh and Erin have a more... laissez faire approach to this idea. They dish about what it means to love everything in your closet—for normal people. Erin's a professional stylist, so there's no one better to toss in two cents to this fountain. Creating a capsule wardrobe doesn't mean a uniform of black turtlenecks and jeans a la Steve Jobs—it means loving to wear all that you've got to wear. Plus, Tsh shares the 8 reasons listeners have
