My co-host and I are self-professed early birds. We feel physically and creatively at our best in the early hours of the morning, before most people are awake. Even though we know this to be true we struggled to make it a habit. Just because getting up early makes us feel like the best version of ourselves doesn't mean it is an easy habit to create. So, we set about to start a new club: the 5:45 club. Every day we texted each other when we got up to try to hold each other accountable, and create this new early morning habit. Did it work? Let's find out!

Canning lids are flying off the shelf faster than many stores can keep them in stock. Why?

Many people like myself, are canning for the very first time this year! In this episode, we will share what supplies you need for canning, our very favorite recipes, and how to make the whole process a whole lot simpler.
