| 0:00.0 | It's the Simple Show. You've got episode 99. |
| 0:07.0 | Hi, I'm Tishawksin-Wrider. And I'm Stephanie Langford. And on The Simple Show, we talk about saying no and yes to the right things. |
| 0:13.8 | And in this episode, we are talking about holiday travel, how to prepare before you leave, how to handle long road trips, and how not to go insane while you're visiting family. |
| 0:23.4 | Before we begin, I wanted to mention that the Ultimate Homemaking Bundle Flash Sale is currently going on, but only until tomorrow. |
| 0:31.5 | That's Tuesday, October 24th. If you're listening to this, the day this episode goes out. |
| 0:36.3 | So what this is is, it's about $30. It's $29.97 to be specific. And it's over 100 items all bundled together that you can get for like an insanely low price compared to what it's actually worth. There's a few things in there like my friend Mike Willan Smith's class, cozy minimalist decorating class. And then my friend Jessica Turner's class, |
| 0:54.7 | Stretched Toothin. There's lots of good stuff in this. So go to the art of simple.net |
| 0:59.5 | slash bundle to get it. And if you miss it, as in you're listening to this after the bundle sales |
| 1:06.0 | happened, just add your email there. And I will notify you when the next homemaking bundle goes live |
| 1:11.4 | because this happens every spring and it's a really good item and I don't want you to miss it. |
| 1:17.8 | So all right, Steph, I can't believe we're already talking about this, that it's the holidays. |
| 1:23.6 | I mean, it's insane. I mean, it's not quite the holidays, but it is almost the holidays. That's just insane. |
| 1:28.9 | No, it's true. It really is actually time to start thinking about it, which does feel a little bit surreal because, I mean, well, it's probably still like 100 degrees there for you in Texas. But for us, the leaves just started changing. So I'm like, oh, it's just barely fall and we're already talking about this. Yeah, I mean, honestly, like fall weather hit and it's amazing and |
| 1:47.3 | glorious. And my kids are already talking about like, it feels like Christmas. And I'm like, guys, the high is 75. It's not Christmas yet. But I get what they mean. Like something about the fall just gets you in the mood. And it's easy to think about all the fun holiday things and then |
| 2:03.0 | suddenly you're kind of hit with the like oh yeah all the details and sometimes it just is easy to |
| 2:09.0 | overlook the details and then before you know it you're just like overwhelmed and it becomes not as |
| 2:13.7 | fun and i'm thinking particularly about travel, you and I have many episodes in the |
| 2:18.6 | back catalog of The Simple Show on travel. So I will link to that in the show notes so people can |
| 2:23.1 | just get our history of your and my experience traveling. You and I both travel an insane amount |
| 2:29.8 | of time and we tend to go big, meaning like worldwide, yet we still do smaller things. We still do |
| 2:36.7 | lots of road trips. I mean, we do cross-country road trips, which aren't small. And we still have |
| 2:42.0 | family to visit. So that's what we wanted to talk about in this particular one with the holidays |
