"Ever wondered how to cultivate coziness and make every moment count? Our latest chat takes you on a heartfelt journey from the snug embrace of 'hygge' to the therapeutic wonders of bone broth. Morgan and I are over the moon with 500 podcast downloads, and we're sharing that gratitude with you, alongside our anticipation for the new year's garden. We've got the dirt on what seeds to sow for a bountiful harvest, and you're officially invited to our very first seeding party – no green thumb required! But it's not just about the plants; it's about capturing life's firsts. We're weighing the charm of a handwritten 'calendar of firsts' against the digital ease of Twitter, ensuring that every new adventure leaves a mark.

As we turn the soil, we're also turning the pages on bullet journals, rekindling our love for this adaptable planning system that's a game-changer for our friends with ADD. Imagine a garden journal that transcends time, becoming an heirloom, and a 'calendar of firsts' journal that sparks joy without the pressure of prompts – we're in the midst of creating these treasures for you. Plus, we get up close with the intimate pleasures of small-space gardening and the versatility of homemade bone broth. And yes, there's a new furry friend wagging its tail in our family! Join us and grow not just a garden but a year of memories and milestones."

So, that description came from AI listening to our podcast and giving us a run down... Not bad. Thanks AI.

Morgan and I hope you enjoy!

Taylor:

Hey everybody, welcome to a common life podcast. In this episode I'm going to be your host, but I am joined with my beautiful bride, morgan. Say hey, morgan, hey everybody. And yeah, in this episode we're going to talk about quite a few different things. We're going to talk about who go who go, who go, that's how you say it. Yeah, we're going to talk about who go. We're going to talk about bone broth. What is it? We're going to talk about Kyros.

Morgan:

We're going to talk about the new year.

Taylor:

Yeah, we got a lot of fun things to talk about. But first I want to say that, guys, we have had 500 downloads of this podcast. That's crazy. I know it's kind of weird to think about like people actually listen. I'm really thankful and it's awesome. Like that's the whole point of us doing this. We want to bless people and encourage people and influence culture, and I feel like we're just getting started.

Morgan:

Yeah, it's exciting and also weird.

Taylor:

Yeah, it is weird to think about. So, yeah, you ready to jump in? Yeah, what are we starting with?

Morgan:

Okay, well, we're looking ahead to January.

Taylor:

We are, so we're definitely going to talk about what's going on in the garden. We got some stuff coming up Like it's time to start seeding.

Morgan:

Well, it's time to start seeding.

Taylor:

Yeah, in January we're going to be seeding kale arugula.

Morgan:

First spring.

Taylor:

Yeah, early spring Broccoli, kale, cabbage, head, lettuce, celery, kohlrabi.

Morgan:

So if you haven't ordered those things, what are you doing?

Taylor:

We haven't. I know what are we doing. Yeah, we need to order our seed.

Morgan:

Well, I need like a solid week to look through seed catalogs by a fire and just encircle. That's my favorite part is to go through and circle all the fun things that you don't let me get.

Taylor:

Well, I'm taking over the garden. Well remember how you were taking over the garden. Taylor gives up the garden. By the way, that's our most popular podcast that people have listened to.

Morgan:

It's probably because you gave up control and I got to take over for a little bit.

Taylor:

For like two weeks yeah.

Morgan:

You know it wasn't the best time to be like eight months pregnant and say taking over the garden, but I feel like I did. Okay, here's the deal. We were working with a lot. We're working with a lot of old seeds. It did good. I don't think I wasn't happy with my flowers.

Taylor:

No, but I like the fact that we did incorporate flowers into the garden. I want to keep that, and your plan was good. It turned out well. I just ended up doing most of the work after you planned it and kind of designed it, but that was because Wilder was born in April.

Morgan:

Right.

Taylor:

So duh.

Morgan:

Well, we didn't have a whole lot other than tomatoes. We had a ton of basil.

Taylor:

Yeah.

Morgan:

I mean, we had some peppers.

Taylor:

We had parsley that is still doing it. Okra didn't do well.

Morgan:

Dude parsley is a resilient plant it is.

Taylor:

I mowed those. I mowed them down. I mowed the parsley down.

Morgan:

Came back strong.

Taylor:

Came back stronger, stronger, stronger. It's like green as can be.

Morgan:

It's gone through a couple of freezes.

Taylor:

Like frozen.

Morgan:

What are we supposed to do with that much parsley?

Taylor:

Isn't that what you make chimichurri with or like? Is it chimichurri?

Morgan:

Yeah.

Taylor:

We need to be making some chimichurri.

Morgan:

Some people put it in their pesto. Some people put it in their smoothies, apparently. It's like really good for you.

Taylor:

I like parsley in my smoothies, or like a juice, yeah. Yeah, we're not doing any of that. We're just looking at it. Yeah, we're just eating our greens. That was not the plan to have parsley in the middle of the garden right now, but by golly we're leaving it because it's just as happy as can be.

Morgan:

It is.

Taylor:

So, yeah, we're going to be planting, we're going to be seeding. We got to get the seed catalogs. We have them somewhere. We got to be the order in our seeds and if you haven't ordered yours, what are you doing? Yeah, order your seeds.

Morgan:

Now pronto.

Taylor:

Because again, january, we're planting broccoli, kale, cabbage, head lettuce, celery and corn and cold Robbie, and in February we're going to be putting seeds in the ground. You're going to be doing seeding indoors in January, you're not seeding anything in the garden, but potatoes and peas. They're going into ground in February, Okay, and then come March it's going to be bonkers.

Morgan:

Okay, listen, I'm just going to say this.

Taylor:

I'm all ears.

Morgan:

We are going to have our first ever a common life seeding party. Can I say that?

Taylor:

Sure, who's planning this thing? Well you need to start now.

Morgan:

I say we should do it in March and we should have like provide the trays and all the seeds and we just have a party and we seed with them. We should.

Taylor:

We should stream it online for all of our folks listening in Germany.

Morgan:

Taylor, you need to calm down.

Taylor:

Because apparently we have people listening in Germany. All right, You're nerding out about okay, but that's kind of cool though. So we should have a seeding party and I just give them a shout out to all our folks in Germany. We'll start Germany, I'm serious If you're listening from Germany right now. I just want you to know we're thankful for you over there. Okay, All right.

Morgan:

So you are taking back over the garden. That's fine with me. I just need you to give me some creative freedom to grow flowers, and Let me order some fun ones. I think I want to order from Floret flowers.

Taylor:

Yeah, I saw that link.

Morgan:

Did you click on it?

Taylor:

No.

Morgan:

You need to click on it and you need to look at all the things she has coming in 2024. They're beautiful.

Taylor:

Oh, alright, what is that Floret?

Morgan:

We'll put a link in the show notes Floret flower farm Floret flower farm.

Taylor:

What we need to do is have Terry Woods back on so she can teach us about flowers.

Taylor:

For sure, because we grew some. We've grown some flowers, but we really don't know about flowers. Yeah, yeah, and it's probably we feel, probably a lot like a lot of you might feel where it's like we don't know, and Terry's probably gonna say just put the seeds in the ground and water them, yeah, and do it. You're just gonna do it. So that's kind of what we've done. But as far as the timing goes, like we have in our newsletter for January, start seeds inside of perennial flowers by the end of the month.

Morgan:

For January.

Taylor:

Yeah, so like perennial flowers, meaning flowers that aren't gonna die. Right and I'm like, okay, perennial flowers, that would be like Black Eyed Susan's. They come back every year. Echinacea.

Morgan:

Yeah, would that be like tuber flowers.

Taylor:

Yeah, like dahlias. Yeah, but dahlias you start with tubers, you don't start with seeds. Most tubers and like bulbs. That's what I mean yeah, bulbs, no those. You don't start those by seeds, you start those by bulbs.

Morgan:

Right.

Taylor:

And you're gonna be planting bulbs, not in January, I think that comes later, but see, that'd be a great question for Terry.

Morgan:

We need.

Taylor:

Terry, yeah.

Morgan:

Okay.

Taylor:

And then annual flowers with long germination periods like snapdragons and begonias can also be started inside of January.

Morgan:

Okay.

Taylor:

So I'm sorry, I have a cough.

Morgan:

Yeah, snapdragons, we've never grown snapdragons. I like this. I'd like to do that. Okay, let's talk about the new year.

Taylor:

Let's do it.

Morgan:

I love a good reset.

Taylor:

You know, what I'm pumped about is the calendar of firsts.

Morgan:

Yes, let's talk about that.

Taylor:

Yeah, I'm gonna start. I think the one way I'm gonna try to document everything is on a Twitter thread. Okay, I'm gonna pin it to the top of my Twitter and then it's gonna be my calendar of first thread and then I'm just gonna always reply to it and then I'm gonna have one for like each year. I'm gonna document it digitally that way and just try it out, see what happens. But then also I want to keep like a written calendar of firsts and I have one. I don't really like the format, but I'm gonna try it.

Taylor:

I'm excited about it really gets serious because we have a lot of firsts coming up, january kind of. But I was saying I said this in the newsletter, it's like okay. So when you keep your calendar of firsts, do you do it like annually or do you do it seasonally? Because if you do it annually, then like we could get some snow here in North Alabama. It's still December right now it's December 28th. Right Tonight is when we're recording it and we could get some snow tomorrow, some snow flurries. That's gonna be the for us, the first snow flurries of the season. But when the calendar clicks over and say January fifth, we have a snow flurry. Do I say? Calendar of firsts. This is our first snow flurry of 2024.

Morgan:

You know what I'm saying, right I?

Taylor:

see where you're stuck, and the next year, when you have like your first frost, your first fall frost, it's like no, we've already had frost in 2024.

Morgan:

Yeah, or I think you start with the new year.

Taylor:

Yeah, I don't know. I think I think you, I don't know how I'm going to do it. I think it's going to be a blend. I think I will say this is the first snow of 2024. And then I also want to do it of like seasonally and like December. I want to say the first snowfall of the winter season.

Morgan:

Yeah.

Taylor:

You know. So then you basically are keeping both, but it's just something about, something about. Yeah so that's what I'm excited about. You're excited about getting a new starting, a new journal listen.

Morgan:

She only has like 17 don't hate, don't hate so Well. I've probably tried every planner on the market. Last year I really Delved into trying to find planners for people with ADD. Didn't have a lot of success. I'm sure now that I've say that over this microphone, my Instagram will be like Generally for ADD.

Morgan:

Yeah, I will say this is my most recent saved. How do I start this over? This is my most recent saved thing on my Instagram and I just love stuff like this. I get let's see, let's see says something went wrong. Hold on, ah. The secret to your future is hidden in your daily routine. You're not just planning, you're paving the path for tomorrow's success. And the video is like this guy in the morning Writing down in his leather journal and date, orchestrated by your design, from the night before, and it's like I Just I watch it. I'm like, yes, I get so pumped and then I buy the thing and Then by January 7th, I'm off the wagon, don't I Follow through is so, then the next year you so.

Morgan:

I'm like surely this system will work the next year. So this is what I'm doing this year. What I've noticed over the last I Don't know seven years, is that I always go back to the bullet journal. Oh, yeah, oh yeah because you can create your own Schedule and planner. You know what I'm saying. With having a set, you're not it's free to a grid, yeah, yeah.

Taylor:

That's what I do dots, it's super like a lectern, or, yes, loops turn, or however you say those things.

Taylor:

Yeah, I go back to it. I have, I have what I like now and it's a calendar in the front and then the dots in the back is free. Free, it's open and it's what we're on. This is like I want to create an. A common, a common life Was gonna have. Our first two products will very likely. The plan has been to have like a garden journal, one that's designed to be an heirloom like. The whole idea is that we're gonna be taking notes in this and we want this to last Multiple generations, right, so it's a gift to future generations, for knowledge and education purposes, but also as a way to pass down the legacy and and I thought a lot about how do you create something that People want to use and it's not too structured.

Taylor:

You know, because a lot of your garden journals they're. So it's like all of these prompts and and ways to use it and Really just want to do it my own way, like I might not want to write out the way they're prompt.

Morgan:

you know what I'm saying.

Taylor:

Yeah, yeah it's just too much, I end up not using it. I only use one little square on the page and it's all this one it to be.

Morgan:

You want to have a garden journal. That's got, that's set up for you, but not to set up.

Taylor:

Yeah Right, I mean, technically you could just take any journal and let it be your garden journal.

Morgan:

I need a little more than that, exactly.

Taylor:

So, a little more than just that, but not much, yeah, not much. And then the same thing with the calendar of firsts. The one I have Is not enough. It's like it's all blank and I'm like, well, you could have at least put the months in it. It's weird. So those, those are the first two products. Yes they're not available, obviously, but they're in the works.

Morgan:

They're in the works. I recently Got a paper Republic, so if you go on to paper Republic, they create leather Journals and then they have the inserts that you can put in there.

Taylor:

She has a journal for her journals.

Morgan:

So if you know about a traveler's notebook where there's, like, these strings that divide your or all of your different notebooks, because I've got so much up here- yeah, you do that needs to get on paper. But I want, I need something to separate my Plan, my planner, from my like morning pages writing from my Mother journal where I'm writing funny things. My kids say you know, Mm-hmm.

Morgan:

So I have these little strings that separate, but I got the biggest One that they possibly had. Y'all, this thing is a giant and I really have enjoyed it. I can't fit it really in my purse, but I Think, I think is it? Rational behind it is like it's huge and I can't miss it. And if I put it on the counter open and it's taking up half my counter, surely I'll look at it.

Taylor:

Yeah, well, I Like it because, you're right, you can have all of your different journals in there. Yeah, and I'm the same way. It's like, honestly, I have a journal for, like my, you know, when I'm, when I'm like doing prayer and reading, and then, I have a journal, for there's not much to do lists right and then I haven't like I need. I need a journal for like I'm journaling for my kids.

Morgan:

Right.

Taylor:

I'm writing down like to them and then I have, like, my morning pages, you know.

Taylor:

So if you have all that in one little, in one, yeah it's actually great, yeah, and so one of the things we were thinking about for for the the garden journal would be something similar, where you have, like you can put your garden journal in there and then also, if we created other products in the future it's like you know, crop profiles you could put in there or, like your calendar of first fit into it, so you have your you know.

Morgan:

So something like that, a planting calendar, your calendar first, your like spiritual guide Along with you. Yeah, I don't know just. And then, yes, all the crop profiles. That could be cool little add-ons love it. Yeah, so.

Taylor:

New year new. You gonna be journaling it up Yep, yep, yep. So we want to talk real quick about what your involvement is gonna be in the garden this year. Will you let me know?

Morgan:

You know, I just I'll be here, you just let me know what you need. Here's the thing.

Taylor:

I'm not good at that.

Morgan:

I know you're not. You're really not good at giving up Control or tasks. If you would, let me do the mundane things, I Enjoy that and you don't really. But we don't have a ton of space for me to like go out and prune things or I Seeding I mean.

Taylor:

Our garden is pretty small. It's very small, I mean.

Morgan:

I think I'd like to take care of the herbs and flowers that we already have and, yeah, I want to plant.

Taylor:

What do you think about this? Okay, we decide what to plant together.

Morgan:

Mm-hmm.

Taylor:

This is, this is real time. Folks. She's giving me this, this thing guy. But we decided what to plant together and then I planted on take care of it. No, not really, not really kind of. But we decide what to plant together and then, yeah, we'll get out there and plant it together, okay.

Morgan:

I wish you would just tell me what to do, and when you're not here, I could do it. I don't know. We'll see where. We'll see how it shakes. I'll shake it out.

Taylor:

Look, here's the thing. You need your own free form space, just like your journal. You need your own garden. The space really isn't big enough for that right now. It's not big enough for the both of us. It's really not. You need your own space that can be free from my tyrannical, controlling, authoritarian edicts, because you have so much going on with the kids inside the home and I do have a hard time what, what'd you say, what'd you say?

Morgan:

I said your anal, just you like your things a certain way and if I come in there and crush it, or one of the kids comes in there to try to be sweet little helper, Well, our kids are nine, seven, four and seven months. Virginia, why don't I be the children's garden lead?

Taylor:

You need your own children's garden.

Morgan:

That's what I'm saying. I'll be the lead person.

Taylor:

What I'm trying to say is listen, you have enough going on. You need inside enough responsibility. There's a lot going on in here, inside when you go out. You need it to be therapeutic. You can play. There's no stress If you step on a flower, if you mess it up, if you forget to water, if anything like that or whatever. It's no big deal and really it's not hard. You do great when you go out there and we do work together a lot. It's just you're looking at me smiling, is it that bad? Am I pretty bad?

Morgan:

Yeah, you can be hard sometimes, but you did give me freedom last year it worked out.

Taylor:

It did.

Morgan:

Okay, so what if I grow some things in pots?

Taylor:

I love pots, I think pots are awesome.

Morgan:

Well, I grow some stuff in pots, you should Okay. Go some things in pots. Yeah Fuck, I can't mess that up. Pots are hard.

Taylor:

They're just as hard because they dry out even quicker.

Morgan:

Okay, let's move on, okay, you want to talk about bone broth. Yeah Well, it's like the perfect time to be making bone broth.

Taylor:

Bone broth. So when I was in college I had a buddy and he went hardcore into stuff but like this dude, during winter he just ate like bones, like bone broth. It's the first time I ever saw anybody doing bone broth. I went to his house and he had bones in the crockpot or on the stove simmering. I'm like dude, what is this? He had gone to deer processing plant and had bought. He bought organs, different kinds of organs and he bought bones. Actually, he didn't even buy them, they just gave them to him for free and he made this bone broth and he's like, yeah, man, like this is like seasonally, this is what you're supposed to do in the winter.

Taylor:

This is like what people do he was way ahead, he was on it, man.

Morgan:

We didn't know what he's doing now.

Taylor:

I need to touch base with him.

Morgan:

Yeah, you do this?

Taylor:

dude was crazy.

Morgan:

This dude. He wore leather bottom shoes.

Taylor:

Oh, yeah, oh yeah, he was into that. I'm sure he still is. He hiked all up and down Alabama. I'm not talking about taking trails. He just packed a backpack and just walked all up and all throughout Alabama and just would sleep on the ground, not on trails. He would just pill off into the woods and go sleep by himself for a lot. And now I'm pretty sure he's married crazy. I need to follow up with him. Maybe we can interview him. He'd be a fun podcast interview. She came to tell us the stories. All right, so bone broth Right.

Morgan:

So the way I see it, the only way to do it Oxtails, oh yeah, oxtail broth. We made that the other day and it was delicious. It's the best broth I've ever had.

Taylor:

It's delicious. Yeah, get some oxtails.

Morgan:

Okay, but I was going to say the way I see it. The instant pot's like the only way to do it. You could simmer bones on the stove for who knows how long, or you could just fill your instant pot up with bones and cut scraps of vegetables, or, like I've been doing, a couple of carrots, a whole onion, a few cloves of garlic, your bones, and then fill it up with your with like filtered water, and then you add in egg shells and a splash of apple cider vinegar and then, if you add that vinegar, the calcium will leach out of the shells and into your broth. So it's the calcium becomes available to your body.

Morgan:

So you add the egg shells, a little splash of apple cider vinegar, some salt and all those things, and then you just set it to. I just set it on the max time that my instant pot can go.

Taylor:

You just set it and forget it.

Morgan:

Yeah, yes.

Taylor:

How long is it? It's like three hours.

Morgan:

Yeah, three or four hours, and then strain it and you have like gelatinous good and just warm up a cup of it on the stove. We just drink it like by the mug full.

Taylor:

You could do that, you could make rice with it, you could use it to you know, like for your quinoa, you make soups with it, just drink it straight up. It's good stuff, really good for you. I'm sitting down here looking at Ethel. Should we tell people about our new?

Morgan:

dog. I feel like we already talked about her, do we not, do we?

Taylor:

Oh, I don't remember.

Morgan:

Well, we have a new dog.

Taylor:

Her name is why did we get a new dog? Cause Morgan's crazy? She asked me the first time. I said no, absolutely not. Because we are in a tiny house, we're busting at the seams, we do not need a puppy. She asked me again and I was like kind of annoyed and mad and I said no the third time. I was really mad.

Morgan:

Yeah, I.

Taylor:

Said no. And then the fourth time I Was like wow, she's serious, because last time I was pretty mad, but no. And Then the fifth time I said yes, but you know what, put it over the top.

Morgan:

Her name her name.

Taylor:

Well, there's a few things, so she's so ugly, she came on discount.

Morgan:

That's not true.

Taylor:

That's true.

Morgan:

No, she is not because she's ugly, it's because she's a burn, a doodle, but her hair isn't super poodle-y like people like it. We don't even like they think she's ugly.

Taylor:

She's so ugly. She came on discount and she was. She came at like five and a half months old, so she was already crate, trained a little bit and potty trained. And yeah, she came on discount and so we drove seven hours to meet somebody.

Morgan:

Halfway she was in northern Michigan, like an hour from Canada.

Taylor:

And so we drove seven hours to meet them halfway and drove seven hours back. In one day we drove through like five different states, got back and and tell them oh, and her name was Ethel, and so we just basically had finished a show called the last kingdom if you have any last kingdom fans out there and then you know who lady Ethel fled.

Morgan:

She's a boss lady Ethel, she's a great character. The Queen of Mercia. Yeah, so that's her full name.

Taylor:

Yeah, yeah. So we were like I was like man, our names Ethel and All these other things lined up and we were getting her on discount and she's a burn, a doodle, which were super expensive, but this one was not, and so I was like fine, and so we got her.

Morgan:

Yeah, she's pretty awesome and she's like me and a dog.

Taylor:

Yeah, she loves, morgan. She's pretty pretty, pretty dope. She's a good dog.

Morgan:

She doesn't shed, she does kind of, but not really but not really, and she loves me.

Taylor:

She's like companion. Yeah, we got a dog. We had two dogs, we already had a dog.

Morgan:

Well, he's not mine.

Taylor:

All right, so let's talk about hookah.

Morgan:

So I Can't talk about hookah without talking about Layton. She's a BFF who lives in Birmingham and we love getting getting the vibe, the hookah vibe. One time we had a party where we just had a whole weekend where we did nothing but cozy things. It was awesome. Do you remember we did when I did that? No, yeah, it was before she was married. I probably had two kids and I went there for a whole weekend and we did like you know, we lit candles, we yeah, I went full on who the party.

Taylor:

Full on who the party. Did you call it a who go party?

Morgan:

Yeah, we called it a who go party and all we did was cozy things. Yes.

Taylor:

So I was looking up more about this who go thing, I hope we're saying it right or we're gonna sound like such red necks. No, I'm pretty sure it is. Who good? I looked up because I was calling it high-key. That's wrong. So who got is?

Morgan:

a Danish.

Taylor:

Denmark, danish, the Danes, the Danes. Yeah, they are all about some who got and it is supposed to be like Cozy stuff and hanging out with friends doing Conviable things, yeah candles, cuddles and cozy yeah that's what I wrote. So I was looking it up because, honestly, who goes brought to my attention because I'm looking for seasonal things, yeah, and I'm trying to live it and share it and Then who goes? I didn't realize it was. You were on to this.

Morgan:

You're late to the so 2017.

Taylor:

Who goes like one of it was it became really popular. I bet you did it in 2017 probably did. Yeah, you're so trendy, yeah, cool.

Morgan:

So people who are, you know, our people living seasonally, they probably are who gun it up.

Taylor:

It's who. Good time, baby it is January February who good time. So the Full moon this month is gonna be on the 25th. We just had this past week the December full moon, and I was out in the woods.

Taylor:

It's pretty awesome, oh it's gonna save her, jen the night before we did look at the Virginia's telescope, which was pretty cool. She liked that. That was awesome. This month is the wolf moon and it's called the wolf moon because coyotes and wolves they they like to howl a lot during January. It's mating time and 25th of January is when is supposed to be Happen in this year. It's gonna happen, not supposed to.
