with special guest, Jessica Fisher
Spring has sprung with new life, new growth and a new kind of podcast episode on The Art of Home. Today, I am bringing you the first seasonal ramble with myself and Jessica Fisher.Â
We kick off this relaxed, mostly unscripted, conversation with some spring-related icebreaker questions, then we chat books and simple seasonal cooking (including lunch prep, yogurt, homemade roast beef, flavored syrups and more).Â
We cover what we are watching, or not watching, current favorite things, spring home projects and what we are doing to age with grace as 2 menopausal 50-something-year-olds. We even touch a bit on Easter traditions. Like I said, it's a ramble. I hope you enjoy coming along with us!
