Season 3 Finale- Ask Us Anything
It’s our final episode of 2018, cue the sobs! We’re wrapping up season three by answering YOUR questions, ask us anything style. In this extra-long episode, we’re talking about everything from how motherhood has shaped our faith to what snacks we indulge in when no one is watching. We also share how we chose our kids’ names, how we maintain friendships in this season of life, our favorite feel-good movies, and April spills the details on the book she just finished writing (that’s H-O-S-S, if any literary agents are listening). Plus, you’ll hear the one thing we all agree we wish we had done more of before having kids. We hope you enjoy this last chat of 2018 as much as we enjoyed recording it. From all of us at Coffee + Crumbs, we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Snack attack: Gross! Microwaved pork rinds are a thing that Indiana loves. Ashlee is into Nutella and pretzel sticks (but has not yet devoured them in the parking lot of a grocery store). Help? Indiana can’t easily find blue box Toblerone.
We admire how Callie writes about her children. She’s always the butt of the joke, instead of her kids.
The Mayes Team is a family of six living in a school bus (i.e. Indiana’s dream life): “If I could live anywhere, I’d live everywhere.”
