Tsh talks again with Megan of Sorta Crunchy, her southern friend who shares her penchant for queso and all the glorious food hailing from Austin. A lot’s happened with Megan since she was last on the podcast. For one:

Megan at 22 weeks with TWINS! Aren’t pregnant mamas gloriously beautiful? Lord, have mercy on her and that belleh. She’s got a ways to go still.

Her husband Kyle joked about having twins before they even knew there were two buns in that oven:

Megan shares her maternity fashion woes and has found salvation in maxi dresses. Begone, full-paneled elastic maternity jeans. And also? This seems to help:

Megan wrote a fantastic post about learning at home as public schoolers.

Tsh has learned to go with the flow when it comes to traveling with her brood of kids. Laura of Hollywood Housewife has some good packing and travel tips, too.

And a huge thing since Megan’s last podcast: she’s published a book! Written with Laura Oyer, Spirit-Led Parenting is one of the best, most gracious parenting books to come out in ages.

Megan asked her Facebook friends whether early November means time to whip out the Christmas music. She had no idea she opened Pandora’s Box. So. Many. Opinions. But it did prompt her to publish her own Christmas playlist.

We’re fans of She & Him, Sufjan Stevens, and the classic crooners. But who else? Tell us your favorite Christmas songs in the comments—we need ideas!
