This week’s Latte Lesson is all about a pour over. In the coffee convos, maybe after hearing our old and new traditions you may want to make a few changes to your family plans. Our short week has us motivated to get us where we want to be: surrounded by friends, family, and food to kick off the most giving time of year. Speaking of giving, have you heard of Giving Tuesday? Tune in to motivate you to live your best life and inspire you to give more than you receive! 

This week's Latte Lesson is all about cold brew. We dive in a little deeper into coffee making fun with the cold brew, which is a bit more of a commitment than the french press. Lit's fresh find may ease the transition a bit because Nay Nay found cold brew isn't as fast of the turn around we usually seek in coffee. The tripod will dive into cleaning our homes, a few products we like to use, "crunchy" cleaning tips, getting organized, and decluttering. We give you a peek into what we like, don't like, wish we could do and tips to take away to find what works best for you. You definitely need to listen to the whole ep, sorry we went a little long, but you won't want to miss the real housewives of Clinton County story we had to share. Per usual, may our podcast motivate you to live your best life!
