Hey friends and welcome to the Happy Hour with Jamie, I be podcast.

I am your host Jamie and I'm so excited that you are here.

Each week of a happy hour I invite a girlfriend to join me on the show and chat about the big

things in life, the small things in life and everything in between.

You're listening to episode number 61 in today's guest is Monica Swanson who was recommended

to me by listener, Lerissa Thrasher's a guest.

Monica is a new recent writer, she just released her first book this last month and on this

show we chat about her life and Hawaii, raising boys, farming.

This is really relevant conversation to me today because I have a sixth grade boy and I

just feel it is though life is just getting a little different.

I just see him growing up and I don't see the little boy anymore and so they're going

to love this conversation especially if you're in shoes that I might be in.

If you're loving the happy hour friends I have a favor to ask you.

Well you head on over to iTunes, even if it's not how you normally listen to the show,

just kind of help me out here for a second and leave a comment or a rating.

While you're there if you would also hit the super cute button that says subscribe,

that would really help me out over on iTunes and if you do listen to your shows via iTunes,

if you subscribe to the show every time a new episode comes out it's going to come straight

to your listening device and let me tell you there's a show coming up at the end of

this month that you're not going to want to miss all about Christmas shopping.

I'm going to tell you more about it at the end.

Here is my conversation with Monica.
