#40 Back to School!
Thursday Aug 23, 2018
Thursday Aug 23, 2018
Gretchen and Kelley are headed back to school, and sharing how they feel about that and what they do to prepare.
Fact Check: We had eight snow days and five early release or delayed start days, so Kelley was actually more right than Gretchen.
(Near the end, during favorite things, you hear a big jet taking off, even though we were recording in her basement! It's not a plane at your house.)
