We've Been Reynoldsed

Mad Todd was a hilarious (to everyone except Todd) filter I found on Instagram and used a lot before it disappeared one day! Todd has his pet peeves and annoyances like everyone but sometimes his reactions are absolutely hilarious to me! This is the first, but not last, podcast where Mad Todd makes an appearance!

Do you follow me on social media (if you don't, go do that!) and did you see my story about Todd's tick? Take this episode as a hilarious story but also a little public service announcement about tick bites! 

Our very own Cooper Reynolds is the creator and visionary behind Fear Function! A haunted house we host in our yard that, this year, brought over 700 visitors! Cooper joins us on the podcast to talk about his creativity, his ideas and his love for scaring the daylights out of people!

Oh we love Summer! It is the best time when we move into the cottage; well maybe it's the best once we are fully moved in because the actual move in process is exhausting! From day trips, parties, concerts and appliance installation we had an amazing Summer! It really flew by uncharacteristically quick but it was still magical and filled with so many memory making moments!

Welcome to Season 3! After a brief break to enjoy an amazing and chaotic summer with our family and friends, we are back to share stories and laughter!

He's back! Gavin is back sharing his experiences, his thoughts, his childhood with some laughs and some tears. 

One of my favourite people is visiting the podcast to share some of his experiences of growing up gay in a small town. Gavin is my brother-in-law and one of my very best friends and I am so excited to have him here for a 2 part episode to share his experiences and offer support to anyone who may need it. 

In true Reynolds fashion, we don't let a holiday slip by without some amazing traditions! We love our traditions...big and small and have the most wonderful time during the holidays and Easter is no exception. With all our children home and our house bursting with love, fun and chaos, listen as we chat about our holidays! What are some of your family Easter traditions?

While in the presence of a double master, we are chatting about what we're watching on TV right now (and a bit from the past) and how we get involved with our kids through their TV shows. Do you let your kids control the remote? Do you sit and watch TV with them? Do you shove 16 chips in your mouth at once and also cannot stand the sound of a chip bag??

*SPOILER ALERT*
Have you seen Wicked yet? We have seen it several times and every single time we each notice something new! We share our favourite moments and definitely a few spoilers so if you haven't seen it yet, consider yourself warned. Let us know what you thought of Wicked!

Our kids are home! It is my favourite thing when we are all home and have so much time to spend together! Guest stars of this episode are all the Reynolds kids and they are sharing memories and favourite holiday things!

Christmas came early for the Reynolds family!! We were in desperate need of a reliable vehicle! We have never purchased a brand new car but it was time. We are so excited. Have you ever bought a brand new car? Did you have any rules around it like no eating in it or no teens driving it? 

Am I the only person that hates grocery shopping? It is exhausting! From wet carts to forgotten produce, cashiers squishing my food on the conveyor belt, forgetting my bags then forgetting to price match ( sorry Todd). Then the whole process of getting groceries home and unpacking them and putting them away. It's such a process and takes forever! What household chore do you hate doing?

Cooper is our youngest at 15 years old and he is obsessed with Halloween. We all are really but Cooper wanted to take it to another level! Almost a year ago he brought up this idea and we let him run with it! We had to reign it in a little bit but we are so proud of all he accomplished! Did you visit his Haunted House? 

What does September mean to you? For us, it is about getting back to routines and structure, organizing our house and our lives. Its such a busy time for all of us and Todd's slightly sad for the loss of peanut butter lava english muffins. You'll have to listen to figure that one out. Happy listening!

Do you ever go into something with a plan (maybe... what you're going to talk about on a podcast episode) and then it very quickly dissolves into random topics and hilarious conversation? That's what happened to Todd and I! Listen and laugh along with us and let me know if this happens to you too!

Livy is here! She is our super special guest for this episode. Catch up with our 3rd, Oliva, as we check in with her! She is an entrepreneur, a teenager going into grade 12, and she is absolutely phenomenal!
