Hauling Off

In which we discuss more dog breeds, this time Anatolian Shepherds and Border Collies, and the poison of sentimentalism!

The one in which we talk about name pronunciations, and rightly ordering priorities…until Aisha slips Erin a note about the meeting she failed to show up for, and then we stopped. 🤣

In which we talk about social standards for flourishing, arguing well about ideas (Momnibus, we are looking at you!), and Erin tries her hand at impromptu speaking in front of a bunch of secondary kids.

P.S. Sorry for the delay! Technical difficulties that have now been conquered.

In which we talked about Swedish Death Cleaning and the transitional seasons of life…and we made Kimmy join us again!

Today’s Podcast: The one in which we confronted Kimmy about her secret Instagram account, and discussed the realities of pursuing a fruitful happy home.

You can find said account on Instagram - @fruitful.happy.home

We talked about parenting babies and what to do when they are raging, but on our way to this topic we wrapped up Advent and talked about being joyful while being pinched for others.

A little more advent chat for you, just in the nick of time! Merry Christmas and enjoy!

We meant to talk about Advent, but spent a good chunk wandering around, mostly about Twitter wars...actually, I guess we are supposed to calling those X wars now, but that's dumb. Also, another Advent help came after we recorded! What Have You is doing a mini-podcast every day of Advent this year with all kinds of tips! Enjoy!

The alternate title of this podcast is "Millie Picks Corn", because it was a major distraction to Mo throughout the podcast. Millie is a DOG, guys. She kept going in and picking an ear of corn off a stalk and then taking it off to snack on.

But the actual topic is laughing when it isn't easy peasy. Enjoy! And laugh!

P.S. Mo apologizes for her really atrocious posting diligence. This is from August. Yikes.

Well...we actually recorded this (and the next episode) before our live recording at Titus 2. I think this is actually from May...let's just pretend that's not true. But it had been long enough that I could not remember a single thing about this episode, and Hallie offered to listen to it to find out for me. But she is her mother's daughter and was unable to sum anything up for me, so we are going to say it's her fault this doesn't have a title. Enjoy!

Hauling Off hauled off at Titus 2, our church's ladies' group, and we had Jolie Hall as our guest. And it was fun! We talked about confrontation and the context our overall perspective on sin should give to our approach. Shockingly, our high tech audio set up (Mo's phone on a plastic stool), worked ok, so you should even be able to hear everyone. Enjoy!

Well, let's see. As I post an episode, Spotify helpfully prompts me to answer, "What else do you want your audience to know?" Probably a lot of things. But we finally had our dads on the podcast, and unsurprisingly, one of them got away from us down some rabbit trails. If you like Dave Light (I know I do!), you will enjoy this. John Giddings did also get some good stuff in.

P.S. As I checked the recording to post it, I heard us talking about how we were recording this near Mother's Day, so we were really ahead of schedule with our Father's Day episode. It is now August 4th, and that's how it goes, lol.

Kara Fujinaka joined us to talk about what it's like to marry your favorite soldier and immediately move across the country with him. Fair warning, due to allergies, Mo's voice makes her sound like a horrible hag. Sorry about that, and enjoy!

We didn't want you guys to get too used to regular posting, so we recorded this one quite a while ago and saved it for this very moment. We talked about lots of stuff regarding education and ownership of that education. Enjoy!

We had our rad husbands back on to talk about coaching! Enjoy!

Continuing in our series, we talk about marriage! Also, Laird Marlatt pops in at the end as a bonus surprise guest star and invites you all to his business breakfast. Enjoy!

We talked about if parenting seminars are for everyone...and the title is a major spoiler regarding our position. Enjoy!

We talked about experts and dabblers, professionals and amateurs, and some of the many ways this applies to life in Christian communities. Enjoy!

Guys, four episodes in four(ish) weeks! Here we meander around in the how-to-find-a-spouse topic - we talk about if you should even be trying to find a spouse, matchmaking in both its good and bad forms, online dating, etc., etc. We made Erin nervous at one point, which then made Mo nervous, but probably we came back around to a balance of wisdom and...hauling off. Hopefully. Anyway, enjoy!

Well, guys, we recorded this on time, but then...life. Allow the title to warn you sufficiently - there are a LOT of interruptions in this one. Mostly we forgot to have a topic but did a lot on parenting. Enjoy!

We chat about coaching both as a thing and as a parenting and teaching metaphor. Or as an analogy? I can't remember. Maybe both! Enjoy!

See Episode #42's notes. 

No idea. As I quickly checked the stellar audio quality, I did hear a joke at the end that we should name it "The Great Books Episode"...so maybe it's about books? I do know it was recorded in the new (well, at least at the time of recording), fancy Curriculum Room at the school, and the date of recording was September 6th, which means this is a new record for delay between recording and posting - 55 days! Go team!

For those of you who don't prefer our meandering, most of (all of?) this episode is to be avoided. We did try to talk a little about why the third "How to Train Your Dragon" is actually an excellent movie, but mostly Mo just mixed up all the character names and overall failed at the mission. Go find her somewhere if you want a better rant on the topic. 

We will let this episode title speak for itself. Enjoy!

We scratched the surface on emotional control, with a few interruptions along the way. There's still time to join Rachel's webinar on emotional control if you are interested! Just let Mo know that you want in. Enjoy!

Well, we recorded this a couple of weeks ago and can't really remember what it's about. We did remember that beards were a suggested topic and that we rejected it. Maybe you can tell us what it was about! Enjoy!

We talked about popularity and lots of related pitfalls, sins and silliness. Also, Erin got a cute new shirt, so hopefully she is popular now! Enjoy!

P.S. ALSO. We recorded on Monday and posted only two days later!?!?! This may be a weird side benefit of Maymaggedon - being unsure of our survival, we post ASAP, lol.

Kim Lugg joined us to talk lots of things related to kids and obedience. Enjoy!

As our brilliant title suggests, we talked about parenting. We just can't remember what it was specifically. Enjoy!

We had our much better halves on to talk about...a lot of things. And they/we did...so enjoy this double length episode!

We came back around to explain our metaphor and were much less rabbit-traily than last time. But of course, much less is still a lot. Enjoy!

With the Christmas roller coaster still careening the loop-de-loops, we talk about various sin traps during this time of year. Mo talks about the changing seasons of Christmas, with a newly married child, and Erin retells the Pakinas Christmas Tree saga of 2021. Merry Christmas to all, and BE JOLLY this Christmas!!

This is the podcast that neither of us can remember…like at all. So here’s your job: tell us why we named it “Triangle Grab Bag.” Enjoy!

"And friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them" - remember these lyrics, guys? These are the only good ones. Skip the rest. Especially the part about the fertile soil of you. Enjoy!

Chickenpox tried to stop us, but we have prevailed. Enjoy our super late episode featuring Mrs. Taylor Rothenberger!

Abigail van der Beken joins us again, this time to unwrap the mysteries of the Enneagram personality...system? Religion? If you are already sick of personality talk, which we assume some of you are, get some Sea-bands before listening.

Ruth Callender hopped in the van to talk with us about podcasts, specifically the temptations and ditches that accompany their very existence. Enjoy!
