FoC 076: How We Adult (And Advice to Our Single Selves)




The Fountains of Carrots Podcast show

Summary:  <br> <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/episode76.jpg"></a><br> Every few months, instead of chatting with a guest, we like to ask our lovely listeners for questions they’d like us to answer and record a Q&amp;A episode! These are always a lot of fun and it’s fantastic to hear your questions. While we couldn’t convince our husbands to be guest hosts discussing British costume dramas as requested by several listeners (maybe someday!!), it’s a great episode that covers some thoughtful questions.<br> In this episode we shared about how we adult, where we fit in all those pesky grown up tasks like dealing with insurance companies or making dentist appointment. We also confess that we do NOT do anything resembling “work” after the kids go to bed.  We also gave advice we’d love to have heard when we were single ladies and some general rules of thumb for handling interactions with extended family (good boundaries). Then we touch on some other topics like how we encourage vocations to religious life for our kids and how Haley and her husband have managed to be a one-car family for the past 12 years.<br> We hope you enjoy this Q&amp;A episode!<br> Other Q&amp;A episodes:<br> <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/foc-059-whats-working-for-us-right-now-organization-and-prayer-in-the-everyday/">What’s Working for Us Right Now (Organization and Pray in the Everyday)</a><br> <a href="http://fountainsofcarrots.com/foc-040-how-small-can-we-go-and-other-questions-answered/">How Small Can We Go?
