POTPOURRI with Cristi & Cinda

Good smells, bad smells, smells that trigger you? We have them all covered on today's podcast! We even do the googling for you to give you more background and knowledge. Grab a cup of coffee (DANG we missed that one as we both love a good cup of coffee) and ENJOY! #smells #badsmells #goodsmells #potpourri

What are you scared of? Are you mildly afraid or does is really scare you soooo much that you can not function? Let's talk PHOBIAS, how many there are, what the names mean and what ones make each of us a little nervous. #phobias #scared #potpourri

It is amazing how watching a show can trigger all kinds of questions, and yet this is exactly what happened. Smoking was (and maybe still is) a very popular thing for all to do back in the 1950-60's. We thought it might be fun to talk through some random facts about the history of smoking! #smokeeemifyagotem. #smoke #cigarettefacts #potourri

We have always talked about doing a "Wonder Wednesday" to discuss some of the things we randomly ask each other.... Well, we haven't ever gotten that far so why not do an entire episode of wondering! Here we go, put on your thinking caps and help us solve some of the mysteries of the world. #wonderwednesday #randomfacts #potpourri

ALL the tournaments, championships etc of basketball are around the corner. We just finished football and some other sports we know nothing about...LOL! Time to dive into the actions of a true sports mom and how she handles the adversity facing her child. Let's break it down and find out if either of us are the CRAZY one in the stands. #sportsmom #potpourri

GAME TIME!!! We thought it was a good week to lighten things up a bit after all the heavy topics of the past weeks. It's time to play THIS or THAT and find a few more details about our hosts. #thisorthat #momalert #potpourri

Not ONE, not TWO but all THREE of us siblings have had a trauma in our lives. February 11th was the start of another story that will give you some insight into some of the reasons we are the way we are. Life has thrown a lot at all of us siblings and this is probably why we have learned to not take life too serious. #outoftheashes #fire #survivingfromtheoutside #potpourri

We have talked about each of us siblings having to survive something. 31 years ago today our guest faced his. This episode brings our FIRST guest and another sibling story of survival. Although we've had many conversations over the years, there are still some things we haven't talked about until now. #tumortalk #potpourri #surviving

HAPPY PRE-VALENTINE'S DAY!!!! Let the fun begin as we talk about gift we like (or don't like) to receive on this holiday of LOVE! We even tackle traditions of the past. You might be surprised by the answers. #HVD #valentinesday #chocolate #flowers #s*x

Do you drink coffee and crochet? Ok, well we might not either but it seemed to go together for this podcast. It's still cold out so time to tackle a family favorite, COFFEE! How do you take your coffee? Are you fancy or just basic? So many questions to ask about the staple. Then why not talk crochet and other crafty things too. #coffee #crochet

SNOWMAGEDDON 2024 has been one for the books. Tons of snow, school closings, white outs, drifts from hell.......you name it we've had it. Time to issue all the warnings of what NOT to do during a snow storm. AND reminisce about storms of the past. #snowmageddon #potpourri

Well, it seems this type of topic is a top listener for us so why not tackle another...LOL! Gas is a basic in our families, from our parents and grandparents working in the gas pipeline business our entire lives to the bodily kind. So why not tackle this one too. #gotgas #potourri #bodilyfunctions

Do you or do you not? That is the question of today's podcast. We were raised by a Mom that sent notes and cards for EVERYTHING! So......do we do it??? You'll have to listen to find out. #potpourri #thankyounotes

Well....It's the ending of 2023 and as we all start to prepare ourselves for 2024, what are we focusing on? Do you set a new year resolution? Do you follow through with them? It's time to tackle our resolutions (or lack of) and how we can attempt to not fall off the wagon a few weeks into 2024. #newyear #resolutions #potpourri

AND...our first GUEST!!! A little insight is shared by a 20 something to help us understand WHY! #potpourri. #makeuptrends. #80's

Wow!  This week’s podcast took a serious subject and helped each of us look deep to find out what drives our anxiety and overwhelm.  One never knows when you will find some answers to some of the deepest questions.

We do it, you do it and now it's just time to bring it right out in the open......We find the need to JUSTIFY everything we do!! From excuses, to decisions, to actions, to finishing a project. It is time to stop and just do the damn thing!

Well... If you haven't figured out by now, we will talk about ANYTHING! Since we are both "OLD", it was time to tackle all the annoying SH*T that happens as we get older. See yourself in us???? We are sorry, but let's all be honest it is going to happen to us all at some point so we might as well laugh our way through it together!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! We are almost to the day where the costumes come out, the candy is gathered and some tricks are played instead of asking for treats!
