Hi Kristin,
Wanted to check in and let you know I so look forward to every Podcast. I can’t wait to see the movie Little Woman! Also want to start trying the Fly Lady system for helping keep up with the house. Love all your ideas on quilting, books, knitting, and movies!!! It’s been a rough holiday season as I came down with pneumonia, and listening to your comments on Christmas cards and the holidays really resonated with me. Hopefully this year in 2020 I will finally be able to reduce my hours at work and enjoy more crafting, and hopefully better health. I’m 54 years young, non-smoker, and these lung problems due to adult asthma , well life’s too short. Keep the Podcasts coming, they really relax my mind.

I enjoyed hearing about your holiday spent with your family. I am amazed by the size of your daughter’s afghan -wow!! Looking forward to seeing Little Women so thanks for the spoiler alert. Devouring the Clifton Chronicles via the Libby app (audible). I just finished book 3 and may have to take a sick day so I can start book 4 today! Love your podcast-its like catching up with a friend.
I enjoy listening to your podcasts. Hearing about your family coming together for the Holidays was so nice. I’ll have to check out the scavenger hunt app. When we get together with our grandson we always try to find a geo cache through the Geo Cache app. It’s fun to get outdoors and explore with him. I’m also behind on the frolic mystery, step four I think. Looking forward to your next podcast.
