We're a mom (Karen) in her 50s and her daughter (Tori) in her late 20s, and every week we record the conversations we'd be having anyway—about growing up, growing older, and everything that happens in between.
From the everyday questions (how do I fold a fitted sheet?) to the big ones (how do I navigate this season of life?), we talk about it all.
We cover family recipes, making a home, relationships, and the reality of living at different stages while neither of us has it completely figured out.

Creamy, cheesy, and tastes like home. What could be better? I (Karen) didn’t grow up with mac ‘n cheese. In fact, the first time I had it was in college and it was Kraft Tori and I like to make this as a side dish for braised short ribs in the winter or as a side when Ross smokes a brisket in the summer.

I (Karen) don’t love pumpkin pie. I know, how dare I say such a thing. My go-to Thanksgiving dessert is either apple pie or my mother’s pecan pie. That’s not to say I don’t love pumpkin desserts, but straight up pumpkin pie just isn’t my thing. So when I found this recipe for a beautiful layered gingerbread and pumpkin dessert, I had to try it.
