Munch and Mingle

Text Me Here!!! Anyone else feeling a little exhausted? Just me? Well good news, this is the week we get to soak it all in, The Christmas Spirit is knocking at our door ready to take over! So I hope you find time to take it all in this week! This morning we are going through Brother Webb's talk, and I learned that I really want to be a better teacher, but even more a better learner. I loved t...

Text Me Here!!! Happy Monday! We are into the Saturday Afternoon Session of Conference! I apparently am so excited I forget to grab a munchie for today's episode! But for real, this talk by Elder Rasband....MIND BLOWING! I get off on another sub thought, but it's so good, you might just like at the Family Proclamation a little bit differently...in the best way! I did a little bit of a di...

Text Me Here!!! Wow! What an amazing 12 days it has been! Thank you for coming along every day, it's been so fun to be on with you and now we are here! I kept going back and forth on what the last episode for our 12 Days should be, but I ultimately decided on talking about the one thing that has transformed and helped this year to turn out as one of the best years, which is in thanks due to:...

Text Me Here!!! We are so close to the end, so let's talk about everyone's favorite topic : Money (; Okay, it might not be our favorite topic, but we need to talk about it, especially as we head into a new year. So I share with you what Brit and I have found to work for us and hopefully it can help you and above all, bring more security and structure into your life and for your house. Le...

Text Me Here!!! Holy cow!!! It's already been 10 days?!? Well you might just maybe still have some last minute Christmas Shopping to do, and have I got the gift for you....a bar of soap. But not just any bar of soap, a handmade, wonderfully curated, great for either your crunchiest or silkiest friend alike! Today on the pod, we talk to Elizabeth, who is the owner of BareSpring Bubbles. I met...

Text Me Here!!! We are almost through our 12 days, so what better way to start off Day 9 then talking about traditions? Why do we even do traditions? We talk about that. What should we even do as a tradition if we don't have kids or aren't married? We talk about that. Why can't I find the motivation to wrap all these Christmas Presents? ...Well we don't talk about that exclusiv...

Text Me Here!!! Happy Monday and Happy Day 8! Today's Conference talk we go through is Elder Uchtdorf's "Do Your Part with All Your Heart" I strongly suggest going through his whole talk on your own, because today I take one of his thoughts and go off onto a whole side tangent and something that was really pressing into my heart. I hope it was something you needed to hear today...

Text Me Here!!! Happy Sabbath! And....Happy Day 7 of our 12 days!  I'm so excited to share with your this activity that I got from one of my Young Women leaders! She would write a letter at the end of the year to Christ, telling Him what she was going to give to Him as a gift that next year. Now how do you give a gift to the One who gave you everything? More times than not, He is wanting more...

Text Me Here!!! Welcome to Day 6....and to the Munch & Mingle Vault! Today we have the episode that has been being held for a special day...today is that day! Minnie and I recorded this episode near the end of 2024, right before I ended up needing to step back from Podcasting. So I waited, and waited, and waited...and about a week ago, something had happened and all of a sudden that ping came...

Text Me Here!!! Happy Day 5! It's a bit of a short episode but such a good one! Today we bring on the munch and mingle mini's, the 3 B's, our 3 little guys! I love how you get to see their personalities so perfectly in this episode! Definitely find a way today to document right where your kids are, because already the boys have been asking to listen to their episode! E-mail: munchan...

Text Me Here!!! Howdy Day 4 of our 12 Days of Podcasting! Today we are heading into Munch & Mingle's kitchen, metaphorically, because if we tried to in real life, all I see is a microphone landing in a hot pot! :D I'm going to share with you one of our creations, that is made possible by a past guest's family recipe! And I just think this recipe could in fact end up at one of yo...

Text Me Here!!! Hello Day 3 of our 12 Days of Podcasting! And hello to McKenna's Beauty Corner! We are gonna talk all things happy, healthy hair and how I know you can have it! We are gonna go through the technique and products I've found to help you get healthy hair....and it might not be what you think it is! And while yes I would love to see you in my own chair, but I want you to know...

Text Me Here!!! Welcome to Day 2 of our 12 Days of Podcasting! Today we are talking all things Advent, is there a difference between a Christmas Advent and a Christmas Bucket List...you bet! I'll share what our family is doing through this month, but if you take away anything from this episode, whether you have kids or not, definitely commit to doing something to not only build the anticipati...

Text Me Here!!! Another Monday...Another Conference Talk...and I'm not mad about it at all! And also Day 1 of 12 Days of Munch & Mingle! Today we go through Elder Johnson's conference address and I say it every week, this might be my new favorite talk! Elder Johnson used to be a forensic accountant and so it would make sense why the word 'reconcile' would stick out to him....

Text Me Here!!! Anyone else just loving this session of Conference so much! We've been talking about hearts a lot, and so I'm so grateful to see the trend continue through Elder Eyre's talk about knowing who we are deep down inside, but also a great reminder to once again, Pray...and pray like never before! I also found out I'm related to Elder Eyre, distant, but still pretty c...

Text Me Here!!! Anyone else noticing a theme with these first 3 conference talks?! Today, we work through Elder Barcellos talk "The Lord Looketh on the Heart" and not only did Elder Barcellos hit it out of the park, he provided us with a spiritual heart test that we work through today as well! It's so fascinating to me how the theme through conference so far, is constantly reminding...

Text Me Here!!! Oh, this talk was a real treat! Come along with our Primary Chorister, Mikayla and I as we go through Sister Browning's most recent conference talk! Mik and I have only recently got to know each other, but after this episode I feel like I've known her forever....and also that I need to join this year's Christmas choir! :D Singing has always been one of those things I...

Text Me Here!!! Date Night + Conference Talk = My Favorite Time! I had this thought that rather than just talk about how great confenrence was, we really need to dive into it together! Welcome to The GenConf series! We are starting it off, not only with the first talk of this most recent General Conference, Elder Stevenson's 'Blessed Are the Peacemakers' but also with my favorite pe...

Text Me Here!!! Conference Weekend was here and now its gone...or is it? So many times I've been able to try and gather what information or quotes I could out of conference, only to then not think about it again until 6 months later when the next General Conference is here. Not any more! Last April, I had a super strong feeling to really go through all the talks at Conference and look for an...

Text Me Here!!! Have you felt it? The heaviness? The numbness? All in all, it's been a couple of hard days and now moving on into weeks. No matter where you're standing, you've most likely be affected in some way by the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I know I have, so I've been trying to put into words and feelings of how I'm attempting to process it all and move forward a...

Text Me Here!!! Guess who's back?!? It's almost been a year! And what a year it's been! Come along as we talk about all the things I've learned as well as gained, we highlight some goals as well as making the rest of the year go out with a bang and it's the end of Summer, which you know what that means....Social Media Detox.  But I did a little twist on the detox this year...

Text Me Here!!! Is there something in the air? Are y'all feeling it? This is not the episode I planned for, but above all I hope this episode finds you in good spirits and high hopes for whatever is about to come. Whenever there is time for change, I'm usually the last to follow it, but it has finally caught up to me, and I've had some pretty big realizations of certain things that...

Text Me Here!!! Get out your pen and paper or pull up your phone notes tab, we are going to be making some goals! Did y'all know that people who set specific goals are 10 times more likely to succeed then those who don't? Well I'm going to make sure that you are one of those people who SUCCEED!  I've tried to include what I feel is going to help you most feel like you are stayi...

Text Me Here!!! The first of what I hope to be many, a little bit of help from Mr. Munch & Mingle himself, to talk all things football! As a former athlete, I wanted to get Brit's take on the newest major changes in college football including: - The New college Playoff format - The transfer portal  and we also play a little game trying to get Brit's feel on some key players in the co...

Text Me Here!!! The Pep talks of all Pep talks is here...well okay, a McKenna styled pep talk is here! We are almost exactly 3 months away from ending 2024 and if you know me, you know I am a planner, which means, let's get to planning! As always, after the summer detox I feel we need a good reset and I promise you are not going to want to miss this one! Don't forget to text me! Tell me...
