You're listening to The Girl Next Door Podcast. I'm Erica. And I'm Kelsey. We're two former

next door neighbors and good friends who love a good chat and a good laugh. We're inviting you to

come on in, have a drink, and stay a while. Hey friend. Hey friend. So today's episode is a fun one,

all about what we're cheap about and what we don't mind splurging on when it comes to spending.

And we have a feeling that the places we might differ wildly on this one should make for some fun conversation.

Before we get into that, let's update on everyone on what's been going on around the neighborhood for both of us this summer.

Okay, well, for me, I had a great time

exploring a new neighborhood in O'Clair, Wisconsin, where we bought a second home this spring,

and we went and spent a month there at our house up there. So it was so fun. We had so much fun

exploring your home state. Yes. It has, oh man, it really shines in

the summer. It really does. As you have always told me. So we explored all around O'Clair. We even

visited Madison, Wisconsin. We loved the green. We love the trees. We love the water. We were just

marveling at it all. And anyone that we would chat with, they were just like, yeah, this is just how it is.

We were like, no, it's not this way in Arizona.

So that was really wonderful.

And also, so fun.

I even got to hang out with a few podcast listeners in person because Janessa, a podcast listener,

lives in O'Clair, and we got to hang out some.

I spent a lovely day with Rachel who lives in Minneapolis.

And I also got to see my longtime friend Sarah, who I met originally online when she and her

family were driving through O'Clair on this big road trip and we hosted them for breakfast.

So yeah, that was just like a very fun aspect of the trip.
