You're listening to the Girl Next Door podcast. I'm Kelsey. And I'm Erica. 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 April is the month that both of us

celebrate wedding anniversaries. 17 years this year for you and 12 years this year for me.

And in honor of those, we usually like to do a marriage or relationship topic.

So today we're going to be talking about equity in marriage or partnerships.

Obviously, we're coming at this from both being married, but these

dynamics definitely come up in all kinds of relationships. So we'll talk about how to untangle

equity from equality, what role money has in finding equity in marriage, plus the specific

areas in our relationships where we've worked to find equity and where we're trying

to improve. So happy anniversary to us both. Happy anniversary. But first, what's been happening around

your neighborhood? I organized my linen closet. Oh, I love this. Tell me more. And I'm very

proud of myself. I am finding the basket system of like one whole sheet set goes in one basket that is labeled.

Like these are the bed.

This is the sheets for the girls' bed.

That way when they're changing sheets out, we just have like one extra set.

They can just like take the dirty ones off, grab that whole basket, go make their bed.

And we did the same for like, grab that whole basket, go make their bed. And we did the

same for like, you know, guest towels, sheets for the air mattresses. Like I just labeled everything.

There's still a couple things I wanted to do. Like I want to get like a comforter cover for

extra pillows and things we have, like for if people are sleeping over or whatever. But I got rid of a whole pile of things.

Even after, did I tell this on the podcast that I restuffed my upstairs couch with extra linens at one point?
