Sarah finished the novel Stay With Me by Ayobami Adebayo. It is set in Nigeria and tells the story of a marriage after the husband takes a second wife when his first wife has not become pregnant after four years together.

Abby listened to Brene Brown’s Braving the Wilderness about staying true to who you are in our divided culture.

Starting in March, we’ll group you with four or five other listeners and give you a virtual book club guide with information to help make your club a success.

Marriage

We’ve both been with our spouses for more than a decade. In this episode we share what early marriage was like, how our relationships have grown over time, how adding kids to the mix has changed things, and what we love best about our partners. We’d love to hear your thoughts and philosophies on marriage and/or partnerships.

If there wasn’t enough relationship talk today, you can hear us talk all about our weddings in this episode from last spring.

Eating lately

Abby’s family celebrated Plum’s second birthday with a delicious carrot cake:

Sarah branched out and made an Instant Pot beef stew. It was easy and delicious, but in the future, she’ll use half the meat and triple the veggies.
