Between the snow schedule chaos, Maggie + me swapping colds, and the kids deciding their sleep routine is optional, our stream schedule is officially “play it by ear” this week lol

We still really want to go live at least once this week, we just can’t lock a day/time with confidence yet.

Welp… so much for the big return 😅
Maggie and I both woke up feeling like garbage the last couple days, and it seems like it’s not turning around any time soon.

So we’re canceling tonight’s stream. We’ll be back next week (hopefully). 💛💛

Hey y’all! I’m just now realizing that I screwed up and said we’d be doing Smallville tonight. We’re actually pushing Smallville to Thursday this week so we can get some stuff done tonight. Sorry for the confusion y’all!

No live stream tonight 💖

We’re still getting settled after the holidays and the kids’ school shuffle, so we’re taking the night to reset.
