This episode we're talking all about minimizing and simplifying while sipping on a cocktail Erica simply made up...

Apricot Basil Spritzer

• 2 oz vodka
• 2 oz apricot nectar
• 1 oz basil simple syrup
• Pour over ice and top with Apricot LaCroix sparkling water.

Before we get into the topic, we have a big announcement! We're speaking at the Mom 2.0 Summit in Scottsdale at the end of the month about one of our very favorite things! We're leading a podcasting workshop and hope to meet some of you there!

Minimizing is certainly trendy these days, and we're feeling inspired. Kelsey loves the ideas from The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Mr. Money Mustache We discuss the ways we've been simplifying or minimizing and how we're getting organized around the house. We're dishing about the benefits, the drawbacks, the areas we refuse to minimize, and our future simplification goals (Erica's photo organization system needs some major help. Perhaps Chatbooks should be part of the solution).

In current obsessions, Erica is insanely inspired by Clean Mama: Everyday Life Simplified (thanks to listener Dawn!), and Kelsey is rocking some beachy hair thanks to this L'Oreal beach spray.

In neighborhood news, Erica is officially a library card holder finally. There is an unsafe lawnmower situation going on across the street, and we're seriously considering crashing another neighborhood hangout.

Thanks so much for listening! We'd so appreciate it if you'd subscribe on iTunes, leave us a review, or share us with a friend.
