Bookmarks and Bandages is a podcast about the real, everyday chapters of family life—messy, meaningful, and sometimes a little chaotic. Hosted by a school librarian and a firefighter-paramedic, we talk about parenting in different seasons, competitive Pokémon adventures with our son, our creative daughter, living on a budget, careers, dogs, marriage, and mental health. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we get deep—but we always try to keep it real.Laura

    Episode 2: Kids, Treehouse, Job decisions
    Jul 4 2026

    Welcome to Episode 2, which proved much harder to record than episode 1! Kevin and Laura give a quick update on their kids' summer (son's Africa trip). We talk about our weekend away without the kids and Kevin's job (the Bandages side of our name) and the challenges of being a supervisor (lieutenant) on the medical side of the fire department. Then, we wrap up by sharing different factors to consider when contemplating a job change. Factors like financial circumstances, your job satisfaction, dynamics of work relationships, time and schedule needs, your gifts and abilities, stages in life with kids, your personal health-both physical and mental, the needs of your family, your faith and beliefs.

    Kevin and Laura give an introduction to who they are and what you can expect from this podcast: "We finally sat down and hit record since our kids are both out of town for a period of time this summer! There's nothing fancy about our conversation (no special mics or special editing), just a casual conversation about how we are processing our different emotions as our kids went their separate ways with grandparents-one to another continent! Maybe you can relate to feeling occasional anxiety through parenting decisions."
