Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 105 of Life On the Brink!
I love to talk about Christmas traditions and enjoy hearing others' memories of Christmases past, and today I absolutely cannot wait to share this episode with you! I have on the podcast none other than my paternal grandmother, whom I call Ma Anna. She's my namesake, she has lived all over the world, and she has such an open and warm outlook on life that I hope to embrace. I've learned how special these inter-generation conversations can be, and this one is just as heartwarming as can be.
In this episode, we talk about childhood Christmas memories and favorite traditions, and Ma Anna shares some classic recipes and beautiful thoughts on family.
Plus, she has the absolute sweetest Little Joys, and I'm sharing all her favorite holiday music.

Pregnancy Q&A- Part 2: third trimester, nesting, birth plan, etc.
Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 114 of Life On the Brink!
I’m officially entering the ninth month of pregnancy, which is totally wild to say! Around the 20 week mark I shared the beginning of our pregnancy journey and had a little Q&A, and this week I’m back with Part 2! I’m at 35 weeks now, and though I still have a month or so to go, I’m definitely in a different headspace than I was back in January.
This Q&A will focus more on the third trimester, nursery and nesting, and plans for birth and postpartum. It’s so crazy to think that I could really meet this little girl in just a few weeks!
Plus, this week's Little Joy is a very Nancy Meyer's-inspired moment, and I'm sharing a happy, calming album that's kind of the inspiration for my labor playlist.

Springtime in the Garden: this year's simple gardening plan
Hello hello, and welcome to Episode 112 of Life On the Brink!
One of my favorite things about April is that it’s the start of growing season where I live. It’s finally time to put seeds in the earth and watch them grow! I’ve spent the past several weeks preparing and planning this year’s garden, and it feels so good to finally execute some of that plan.
In this episode I'm sharing my simple, easy-to-maintain garden plan for this year, from flowers to herbs and veggies to garden bed overhaul. With a baby coming in June, my goal is to make things as lovely as I can with little maintenance.
Plus, this week's Little Joy is a wonderful tea-centered experience, and I'm sharing a sweet jazz album that's perfect for spring.
