  • Episode 144 - Big Beds, Big TVs, and Busy Seasons
    Jan 21 2026

    This week, Hannah and Barbi talk about what life looks like right now - including Hannah and her family moving in with Barbi and Zane. They dive into the reality of sharing space, navigating busy seasons, and what it takes to keep friendships alive when life feels full. Barbi shares what it’s really like babysitting two littles (spoiler: it’s no joke), along with stories from birthday celebrations, household mishaps, and the infamous “frat room” setup at Mom and Dad’s house - complete with a bed and TV that might be a little too big for Barbi’s taste.

    Add in a broken jar of honey and plenty of side stories, and you’ve got a cozy, funny, and very real episode about family, flexibility, and finding joy in the middle of the mess.

  • Episode 143 - Collard Greens, Cruises, and Co-Sleeping
    Jan 14 2026

    This week, Hannah and Barbi ease into the new year with a thoughtful and easygoing conversation. They unpack the meaning behind different New Year traditions - from collard greens to grapes - and why those customs have stuck around for generations. Barbi shares stories from the cruise she just returned from, which naturally leads to conversations about travel, past trips, and the different ways they’ve both experienced life on the road.

    They wrap things up with an honest discussion about the pros and cons of co-sleeping, sharing personal perspectives and real-life considerations for parents navigating those choices. It’s a well-rounded, relatable episode filled with reflection, storytelling, and the kind of conversations that feel just right for the start of a new year.

  • Episode 142 - Grandma Jann Leaves, Mom Goes Cruising, and Hannah Gives Us Hideous and Horrific History
    Jan 7 2026

    This week’s episode is equal parts heartfelt and hilarious. Hannah and Barbi talk about Grandma Jann heading back to Washington (yes, they’re sad - and yes, they absolutely adore her), which somehow leads to Barbi explaining why she’s already writing Grandma Jann’s eulogy… proactively. Don’t worry - she’s very much alive.

    From there, the conversation takes off (sometimes literally) with airport debacles, classic stories involving Uncle Monte, and a rapid-fire round of short Hideous and Horrific Hannah stories - real moments from history that sound too unbelievable to be true. As if that weren’t enough, Barbi is also gearing up to leave Hannah for a cruise, which is clearly unacceptable.

    It’s a fun, story-packed episode full of family love, laughter, and the kind of tangents that make you feel like you’re right there with them.

  • Episode 141 -Twelve People, One Boat, and a Christmas Eve Story
    Dec 31 2025

    This week, Hannah and Barbi share the full story of their Cumberland Island adventure with all twelve of them in tow. They dive into the rich history of the island, the unforgettable boat rides from Fernandina to St. Marys and on to Cumberland, and the unexpected moment when the boat ran out of gas just as they made it back - thankfully drifting safely into another boat only yards away.

    Along the way, they sprinkle in Christmas and Christmas Eve reflections, family memories, and plenty of laughs from a trip that could’ve gone very differently but ended up being one for the books. It’s a fun, story-filled episode packed with history, holiday warmth, and a reminder that sometimes the best memories come from the unexpected moments.

  • Episode 140 - Figgy Pudding, Herod, and a Big Hickox Surprise
    Dec 24 2025

    This Christmas Eve, Hannah and Barbi slow things down for a thoughtful, meaningful conversation about the season. They reflect on Christmases past, explore the fascinating history behind beloved Christmas songs, and spend time unpacking the story of Jesus’ birth - including the historical context and the unsettling reality of King Herod’s reign.

    Along the way, they talk about parenting and how raising children so often mirrors the heart of the Gospel, share a few cozy traditions (yes, including figgy pudding), and sprinkle in plenty of classic Hannah-and-Barbi bird walks. And before the episode wraps, Hannah and Casey share a big surprise that just might keep you listening until the end.

    It’s a warm, reflective, Christmas Eve episode meant to be listened to with the lights low, the tree glowing, and your heart open.

  • Episode 139 - Burl Ives, Blacklists, and the Legacy of Christmas Stories
    Dec 17 2025

    This week, Hannah and Barbi dive into the rich history behind some of our most beloved Christmas traditions. They explore the origins of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra - from its powerful storytelling to its extraordinary charitable impact - before jumping into the surprising beginnings of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and the iconic voice of Burl Ives.

    The conversation also takes a fascinating turn into the era of celebrity blacklisting during the 40s and 50s, the golden age of stop-motion animation, and how these moments shaped the holiday specials we still cherish today.

    And woven throughout it all is a heartfelt reminder of the importance of grandparents, the wisdom they hold, and the memories they gift us. With plenty of nostalgia, history, and holiday warmth, this episode is a meaningful celebration of Christmas past and present.

  • Episode 138 – Christmas in New York and Chaos on Cumberland
    Dec 10 2025

    This week, it’s just Hannah and Barbi - and they have a lot to talk about! The episode kicks off with a deep dive into the history of the Rockettes and the magic of Radio City Music Hall. From there, they chat about their plans for the season, including a trip to Cumberland Island, which naturally leads Hannah into a mini-rant about the island’s wild horses (classic).

    They circle back to the Rockettes and reminisce about their own visits to New York - especially the time they experienced the city at Christmastime, complete with roasted chestnuts and all the holiday sparkle. The conversation wraps up with a fun look at the origins of different Christmas songs and the stories behind them.

    It’s cozy, nostalgic, a little ranty, a lot Christmasy, and completely “Mom and Hannah.”

  • Episode 137 – Holidays, Snake Island, and a Surprise Visit from Mario
    Dec 3 2025

    This week’s episode is a true mixed bag in the best “We Saved You a Spot” way. Hannah and Barbi jump into holiday talk—sharing their favorite celebrations, Thanksgiving memories, and thoughts on the Macy’s Day Parade—before taking a wild detour to Snake Island (yes, the one crawling with venomous golden lanceheads). They also chat about The David Movie, sprinkle in more Thanksgiving chatter, and welcome Mario to the conversation for a fun cameo.

    It’s a relaxed, slightly chaotic, but still heartwarming episode full of laughs, side roads, and classic Mom-and-Hannah (and Mario) energy.
