I don't have a good track record with style challenges or daily photo challenges or weekly journals or really anything that requires me to do things routinely in a public manner. 

However, I saw that Caroline at Unfancy had posted a new post, and she, along with Style Bee and Elizabeth Suzann have begun a new 10x10 challenge. For those of you who aren't familiar with these types of style challenges, basically, a bunch of people decide to wear [however many] items only for [as many] days, without repeating an outfit. In this case, it's ten items for ten days.

The day Katie and I found out that we had landed the Coffee + Crumbs podcast host and producer gigs was the very same evening we had met Jamie Ivey at her Atlanta book signing.

That night, I was unable to sleep.

Every year, on every one of her kids' birthday, does every mom stop and say, "I can't believe my baby is [blank] years old today!"? I swear this is me. Over the weekend, my youngest cub turned four years old. 

My first introduction to Karen Stubbs and Birds on a Wire, the mom's ministry she founded, was doing a study called Mom Core over the summer with a group of women who live nearby. It's one of Karen's most popular curriculums (and if you're a member of Right Now Media, you can watch it here, otherwise you can get it here).  I need to tell you: lesson four in Mom Core, the "Being a Student of Your Child" lesson, fundamentally changed how I parented.

Long time Adored Austin and Indiana/Elsewhere readers and the small contingent of Mom Jeans & Dad Jokes fans, I present to you: the Coffee + Crumbs podcast!

A while back, I applied to step in as the season three host, and I dragged my genius and diligent business partner Katie into the job, too. She's producing, I'm hosting, and together we get to handle brand relationships. 

Today is the day that we make our debut! Have you missed my raspy voice in your earbuds? My 4th-grade boy sense of humor?  My crazy curious questions?
