027: The Great Outdoors

Ah, nature. Whether by choice or by necessity, we've all spent some time there. This week we share some research about getting kids (and ourselves) outside more, discuss the definition of "outdoorsy," and try to navigate the social pressures that come with outdoor activities.

One thing we are experts on is finding a deal. We talk about tips for being a good thrift store shopper, as well as being a conscientious donor when you have used items to give. Plus get the results of our XTREME thrift store competition. Who will win, and who will be left in the dust?

023: Feel the Burn

If you want to get motivated to crush it at the gym, look elsewhere! This week we're talking about exercise gone wrong. (Jazzercise, anyone?) We also share some of our experiences in trying to find joy and balance through movement, without getting caught up in obsessiveness.

022: Almost Famous (with Mark Hopkin)

This week our dad, Mark Hopkin, joins us to talk brushes with fame. Growing up with a dad in advertising meant appearing in t.v. ads when he needed child "talent" (but we would do in a pinch).

021: Battle of the Cheugs

Your favorite cheugs are back at it this week with a little game we're calling "Battle of the Cheugs." As the resident Gen Z, Tess guides us through pairs of dueling cheugy items, and we decide which ones to keep. Millennials beware, you're in for a scare.
