Pits on Fire!!!

May 30, 2018 14:06 - 1 minute - 1.08 MB

It's hard being Shanon. First of all she forgot to tell Dianthe to come in and record a new podcast! Secondly she's been struggling with finding a deodorant that still works for her.

Me Time versus Aunt Time...WOW!

January 18, 2018 14:49 - 6 minutes - 6.2 MB

I was looking at the most played songs on my iTunes the other day and was SHOCKED to see what's on there.

You can hear the difference for yourself in this little mix of my songs and "my" songs while I'm with a toddler.
