Things we mention:

warm mist humidifier

Gut and The Good Gut, two great books on gut health that Kelsey recommends

Kefir

Obsessions

Erica is loving Sweedish Swimmers and endlessly fascinated by the new season of Sister Wives. Kelsey is spiralizing all the sweet potato noodles with her Paderno spiralizer and loving her family’s bag situation, including her Fjallraven pocket cross-body purse and the boys’ backpacks from L.L. Bean.

    Kelsey! I had viral meningitis when I was in college and they kept thinking I was pregnant (despite my assurances that I was not), but I was nauseous in the morning from the pressure on my meninges. I was then diagnosed with a sinus infection… until a few days later when they had to give me a spinal tap because the pressure was so great my speech was incoherent. All that to say, glad you’re ok! Hoping for a healthier 2018 for both of you!

    So glad you guys are back! Kelsey, I literally yelled YESSS! when you mentioned David the Gnome! I loved that show as a kid! Did you watch Eureka’s castle too? I think it was on either right before or right after. Erica-I am also obsessed with Sister Wives and I’ve been resisting getting started/hooked on Seeking Sister Wife and now I think I just am going to have to give in and watch it now. 🙂

    Oh my gosh – that sounds horrible! I forgot to mention that I had to have a spinal tap as well. Honestly, that horrible situation and having to have that done was a motivator to have non medicated births and no epidural bc I didn’t have good memories of having a spinal tap! It was fine but just because of the situation it was scary.

    Oh gosh YES to Eureka’s Castle! I’m remembering a little of it I’ll have to look it up online. There was also one with a girl with maybe red hair and a koala bear and sometimes they magically traveled places – ???

    Please add the next book club selection to the show notes. :0)
    My husband had viral meningitis on our wedding day. Spent a couple hours between ceremony and reception the the ER. For better or worse right? This is in addition to our church steeple being struck by lighting and catching on fire a mere 3 days before our wedding. But if someone was trying to tell us something we are still happily married 12 years later. And I can finally laugh about it all. ;0)

    I agree with Amy, why doesn’t it say what our book club book is? I have forgotten since I didn’t look it up right away… 🙂
