You're listening to The Beautiful Mess podcast, your cozy comfort listen.

I'm your host, Emma Chapman.

And I'm your host, Elsie Larson.

And this week we're sharing what's on our summer bucket list.

And we are discussing a hot take about shoe-free rules in homes.

I wanted when the shoe-free rule was going to come up because...

Not the take off your shoes debate. Oh boy. This is a sensitive topic. This is when people

stop being friends. This is a problem. No, I'm just kidding. I love it. I love the topic. Okay.

So before we jump in, we wanted to make a note to you that we are going to do summer episodes.

Thank you for sending your ideas. Send them to them to them to send them to them to us anytime at podcastadbeathomest.com. We love to hear them. I'm in charge of making the outlines and that's pretty much the only place I get ideas from is your emails. So thank you for and we get like a wide variety. It's really interesting. Thank you to everyone who sends us book recommendations.

You don't know how much money I've spent on Thrift books because of you. Never stop. Never change. Yeah. Like my whole library, my dining room is almost full and it's almost all Thripped books. So it's a wonderful situation. Yeah. And just so many from, I'm like, oh yeah, a podcast listener told me about this. Yeah. I know. So like, and I do notice the people who come in over and over recommending the same book. And that does mean that we'll read it faster.

So good job for you. It does. I like the passion. So anyway, yeah, we just wanted to reassure you,

we are doing summer. If we get every single week, 10 gold stars for us. If we get most weeks,

eight gold stars, if we do the best we can, I think that's fine too. We're going to try.

We're going to try to get every single week. But basically, we're just going to do our best. And when it's September 1st, then we'll have the promised every single week again. Do you think that's fair? Yeah, I think that's good. I'm going to need a one-star review for saying that. I don't know. I'm so scared. Guess what? I'll never read it.

So I will. I don't know, but... I'm so scared. Guess what?

I'll never read it.

I will.

I will.

I don't know why you do.

One store, because you just tried your best and it wasn't good enough for me.

I don't care.
