We are SUPER-excited to bring you the What She Said podcast – where Rachel from A Mother Far From Home and I discuss the A to Z of lifestyle and parenting. 
In our very first episode we discuss our blogs, why we blog, who we are, where we live, and all things in between finding out the gender of babies before birth, what kinds of podcasts we love, why we decided to podcast, what we’ll be podcasting about, Extreme Couponing, Young Adult Fiction, pregnancy nightmares, my extensive knowledge of the whole world of Sweet Valley High, fussy eating children, and losing one’s accent.
Rachel and I met in the the ProBlogger.com forums at the beginning of 2014, and got chatting. We soon discovered we had been both wanting to make a podcast for a long time, so decided to join (polar opposite) forces and create one together. We hope you like it! If you have any questions or comments, or topics you’d like us to tackle, leave a comment at the bottom of this post. Or you can head here and email us.
For the next few episodes, you will only find them on the blog, and in the coming months, we hope to have them fully functional in iTunes. Huzzah!

November 5, 2014 at 1:57 pmThat was fun! Good start ladies! Looking forward to future episodes, especially relating to feeding kids! I consider my boys (4 and 2) to be pretty picky – they could be worse, but I’m always looking for new ideas to get them to eat a wider variety of stuff!
I always love a good life hack, too. And I’d love to hear about how you (try to) occupy your kids when you need 10–15 minutes to yourself, or to get something done.
Also, if you find yourself with a few hours of child-free time, and you’re not going to use it for work, how would you spend it?!
And Stacey, love the sign-off – I watched Bill and Ted’s on Sunday night for the first time in many years. That movie is most triumphant.

I will listen while lying on the couch eating bon bons.

November 6, 2014 at 3:29 pmThis is just what I need for folding laundry while the baby naps – yay! Thanks for the list of podcasts & books too, very useful
Veggie Mama says
November 6, 2014 at 7:25 pmHaha that’s exactly what I do! Although I NEVER housework while kids are asleep. It’s VMHQ law. That’s tea and toast time haha
Lilybett and Boy says
November 6, 2014 at 7:40 pmOkay, I’ll say it – you sound nothing like the voice I had in my head when I read your posts. I’m not sure I should be admitting to hearing voices in my head.
Lilybett and Boy says
November 6, 2014 at 7:43 pmP.S. This is my first podcast. I’ve downloaded some for other people and bundled them together on USBs for presents, but never listened to one myself. Very different way of connecting.
Veggie Mama says
November 7, 2014 at 2:07 pmhaha you know, everyone has said that! We’ve narrowed it down to the fact I must be an overly-polite 12-year-old. Insane.
