When two gals who live right next door to each other bond over their love of organization, celebrating the seasons (even if they barely exist in Arizona), blogging AND a shared birthday what else are they to do but mix up a cocktail and start a podcast?

Kelsey (@kelswharton) is a writer, optimist, and enthusiast for all things cozy. She is mama to two awesome boys. She lived next door to Erica for eight years and is thankful that they still live close by! She blogs at RISING*SHINING about personal finances, goal-setting, and living simply even in a busy life as a full-time working mom. She also produces the podcast Matrimoney with her husband Chris and chats about life, marriage and money. 

Erica (@ladderica) is a former teacher and midwesterner turned Arizona desert dweller. She lived next door to Kelsey for eight years and still lives nearby with her husband, two daughters and two feisty beasts. Erica blogs about living life with adventurous intention at Laddventure. She published her first book, Candid Classroom: What Parents Want to Know and Teachers Want to Tell Them, in 2014.
