Welcome to the Neighborhood

Episode #13: Hello, neighbors! Join us this week as Abby and Kimberly laugh off a scheduling hiccup that left Kimberly flying solo in the studio—just for a bit. We kick things off with a playful jab at Abby's rare miss and swiftly transition into our "Good Neighbor, Bad Neighbor" segment. Listen in as Abby confesses her 'bad neighbor' status, all thanks to the dust and noise from her backyard remodel, while I contemplate future renovations and possible revenge.

Join us in a candid conversation about the trials of balancing family calendars, the patience-testing moments of parenting on planes, and the good humor required for both.
