It Is That Hard

If you have a birthday in December, just take a listen to see if you feel the same way Kellie does. While yes, she may sound bratty, she does have some good points. Sheridan and Kellie start the podcast talking about all of the prep that goes into Christmas and the holiday season. From decorations to gifts and more, it can be overwhelming! Sheridan hosts a yearly Christmas party and all her friends gathered up at her house. However, it is hard prepping for a party at your own home and Sheridan struggled prepping.

Sheridan ran the Broad Street Run (a 10 mile run in Philadelphia) and is much more of a runner than Kellie is. Running bigger races can be super fun but totally overwhelming, but being a runner is a goal for both of us. For the Broad Street Run, you can join by entering a bid, but also by joining a group and fundraising. While running is hard, fundraising is harder. Just ask Sheridan. The two also talk about mental health and the struggle of keeping your life in line while your brain has other ideas. Follow us on Instagram @ItIsThatHard Sheridan: @Sherideez Kellie: @Kmanoppello

It's basic girl fall for Kellie and Sheridan! As a midsize person, Kellie has trouble shopping. She is very excited about Old Navy being size-inclusive but like so many, has trouble shopping for clothes! The two decide, being in the right headspace is important when going shopping! Who wants to go to all the fall activities!? The fall foliage is coming soon and we are very hype for fall hikes, apple picking and the delicious food that comes along with the farms! Do you have the perfect picture pose? Teach us, we know how to get a great photo, but it's not easy! We need all the tips!

We're back from a hiatus! Summer has gotten away from us and a lot has happened! It is that hard to keep up! After catching up, we talk about Flooding. Our towns were hit recently by the end of Hurricane Ida, causing the river that divides our towns to TRIPLE in size. It is so hard to see peoples homes a businesses destroyed. With hurricane season, comes the end of summer (sadly?). We talk about what we missed out on this summer, what we are looking forward to during these "Golden Weeks" of weather perfection and more! Finally, as crazy as it is, we talked about Savings for the holidays. Kellie says she is strapped for this year when it comes to money and together we brainstorm some ideas that are great for all!

While Sheridan is pet sitting, we figured we would chat about how hard it is to pet-sit! Taking Milo in for a week threw off the flow for Sheridan and her family for a little bit. It's truly not easy getting a dog to get into a new routine for a short period of time! Where is your next road trip too? Sheridan and her husband went on one recently and we discuss the difficulties. A true difficulty for foodies on a road trip is where to eat! Is Yelp a reliable resource?

The weather is changing and were (sort of) loving it! From when to use PTO, to the oppressive heat and sunburns...Summer can be so hard. So can podcasts! There are more than 2 million podcasts and you chose to listen to us. We appreciate you and share some of our favorite podcasts which we think you would enjoy. If you've been listening to us, you know we both work in social media, but we have our own social as well. Although Kellie is on social media a lot, she would love to get rid of it and Sheridan enjoys staying connected with friends and family though it. Our ABS this week was a delicious Butter Cake.

We had our FIRST guest! Who owns a small coffee business, and attends farmers markets? Our friend Celine Patterson does! This episode starts out with us discussing the complexities of coffee. While Celine and Sheridan are daily coffee drinkers, Kellie RARELY drinks it but loves the smell. It is so hard to know all the different flavors, styles, techniques and so on, but that's okay...it can be hard to find what coffee is for you. Celine shares with us how she and her husband, Dean, started Three Dogs Coffee just over a year ago and their plans moving forward with it. While Kellie and Sheridan dream of opening a Bagel shop, Celine chatted about the ins and outs of starting a business and how it can really be that hard. Being an ecommerce business is tough so the Three Dogs Coffee crew attends Farmers Markets. During the summer it is a great place for fresh foods and treats, but can be very political and overwhelming too! Thank you to, Celine, for stopping by to chat! Follow us on Instagram @ItIsThatHard.

What are you doing for Memorial Day Weekend? It is so hard to decide if you want to go somewhere or just enjoy the time off at home. Kellie and Sheridan talk about the hustle and bustle surrounding going to the shore or the mountains. You can't have MDW without a BBQ, but planning one can truly be SO HARD! How much food do you get? Who's invited? Will they actually show up? Lastly, the unsung hero of summer 2021 so far, INFLATABLE POOLS! Kellie has on in her backyard, which is totally open for her whole town to see and Sheridan's neighbor has a similar one which she has been enjoying! ABS: Delicious Coconut Cookies!

Do you dip out of bachelorette parties early after the weekend? You are not alone! Kellie and Sheridan talk about former bachelorette parties they've attended and the struggles that come along with both planning and attending parties. Sheridan is a local elected official and can answer all of your voting questions! Kellie has grown into understanding the benefit of voting and that it is important! Kellie is taking real estate classes, but it's self-paced learning! Staying motivated is a constant struggle and we feel for kids learning from home. ABS: Dunkaroo Icing Follow us on Instagram @ItIsThatHard Sheridan: @Sherideez Kellie: @Kmanoppello --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Surprise! Sheridan's birthday was last week and her husband, Tom, threw her a surprise party. Whether planning, attending or keeping a surprise can be REALLY HARD. Listen to our last episode to hear us chat about all things career based and hear us continue the conversation during our first week on the new jobs. It's slower for Kellie, while Sheridan is getting thrown in and learning lots! Do you shower in the morning or night? What are your shower struggles?

There are big changes in Kellie and Sheridan's lives! Both have gotten new jobs and have had to put in their two weeks recently and it was that hard. If you work from home, you know how hard it can be to separate life and work. The two have been working from home for a year now at their old job, but Kellie is FULL work from home and Sheridan is for the time being. When applying for jobs, it sucks to not hear from companies for weeks or at all. Fixing your resume is SO hard and writing a cover letter is just something that Kellie won't do. Quitting your job can be so hard, but when two other people are doing it in the same week, it's brutal! BIG THINGS ARE TO COME though! We are excited for our next adventures.

Spring has sprung, guys! The warmer weather is here and we love it...except the rain that's coming along with it. Changing of the seasons is always hard, but spring might be the most unpredictable. We talk about the muddiness, mistiness and the pollen! Going hand in hand with Spring is yard work. Has anyone else gone through as many lawnmowers as Kellie? Do yourself a favor and just hire yourself a landscaper. Be nice to yourself! We all need some motivation. How do you stay motivated and what do you need motivation for?

Anyone who likes moving is a bold face liar! Moving is the absolute worst! Kellie recently had to help her boyfriend move out of his old house and didn't realize how much stuff he had. Also, you know you still have that one box (or five) that you haven't unpacked after years! Thankfully it's a nice time of the year to move, but like not a good time for ALLERGIES! Raise your hand if you've been miserable the last few weeks with spring allergies. (Kellie raises hand) What are you allergic to? RIP Prince Philip. Sheridan woke Kellie up last weekend with the sad news of his passing and it really must be hard to be a royal man! ABS choice of the week: Chicken in a Biscuit Crackers.

Well, talk about random topics! After some experiences Sheridan had this week, we talk about going to the dentist, easter traditions and Microwaves? There are some people who hate the dentist, Kellie and Sheridan are not those people. Kellie's mom always has worked at the offices she has gone too and Sheridan just wants to know the proper dentist etiquette! If you say Reese's eggs are not the best Easter candy, you can't sit with us. Just kidding, everyone can but you are wrong. Also, who knew we could talk so much about Microwaves? They're the mystery kitchen appliance to the two of us. Give us a message on Instagram @Itisthathard.

As soon as the sun comes up, so is Sheridan...and the birds. So we know birds are a weird "It is that Hard" topic, but we are thinking of it as living with birds is hard. Commiserate with Kellie as she shares her hated towards city birds, starlings, geese and more. Have you been attacked by a goose? Everyone has a story! Do you get up before the birds like Sheridan does? Both of us are definitely more morning people than night people. If you're someone who exercises regularly, teach us your ways! Both of us want to be the kind of person who exercises early or consistently but are just tired. Give us a message on Instagram @Itisthathard.

Do the two of us have an accent or a lisp? For our fifth episode, we discuss talking, planning a vacation and junk food. (yum) Kellie says "like" a lot while talking and Sheridan is great at talking to anyone! It's vacation season and we want to travel, but it is so stressful! Do you think a trip and vacation are the same thing? Sheridan wants to head to the southwest and Kellie is going back to Disney...again. All bodies are. beach bodies, but we want to be our best selves and cut out junk food, which is nearly impossibly because TREAT YO SELF! Give us a message on Instagram @Itisthathard.

Losing an hour of sleep and getting the COVID vaccine hit both of us hard this week. The two of us talk about Daylight Saving(no S) Time, St. Patty's Day shenanigans and give some Spring Cleaning tips. DST wrecks so many of our sleep schedules and did you know it can cause health problems? We talk about some past St. Patty's day experiences from working that day to getting sloppy and sharing some of our listener's experiences. Also, spring cleaning inside and outside is truly that hard. Give us a message on Instagram @Itisthathard.

Get ready because Sheridan has a secret! We’re talking about movies/shows, getting dressed up and can you keep a secret? We chat about our favorite shows and movies over the last year, how weddings are just proms for adults and we even talk about a secret or two as well as the best-kept secrets we’ve had in our lives. Tell Kellie what to add to her watch list and the craziest secret you may have had to keep (ANON obvi) on Instagram @Itisthathard. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Podcasting is hard and we need to read directions next time! Kellie and Sheridan unpack all things post-holiday, cold weather and winter sports. These may seem easy to most, but there are so many hard things that come along with it! Like where did all of your extra holiday decorations come from and have you ever walked down a hill instead of skiing or snowboarding because it's scary!? You're not alone, it's all HARD. Don't let those gloomy days get you down, lean into hygge and know spring will be here soon. It is that hard! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Kellie and Sheridan start their first podcast off by getting the podcast name wrong and some of their favorite things...food and traveling. Sheridan shares about her bread-making struggles and triumphs over the pandemic, while Kellie can't seem to follow the most simple recipes. The two of them discuss some of their favorite traveling eats. Looking at you, Bun Cha. Finally, they wrap up by discussing languages and how they are impossible to learn for us who want to be bilingual...Americans. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
