Join Jesse and I this week as we bring you a mix of newsy updates and intriguing tidbits that spark some lively discussions! We reflect on Jesse's recent 44th birthday, diving into how the world has changed since he was born at just 27 weeks. The advancements in technology are astounding, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this!We also explore the fun topic of birthday candles. Did your family recycle them? This light-hearted conversation spirals into a discussion about frugality and the limits some of us draw in our quest to save money. I invite you to write in with your own thoughts because I am curious: are there things that you would never do just to save a buck? I’ll share my own frugality lines, and I would love to hear yours!I also have some exciting updates from our InsideTracker experience, including a tip about vitamin D that could change the game for Jesse, and as an added bonus, I share my excitement about a highly anticipated book that I just picked up from the library - Kristin Hannah’s novel The Women.
