It's been "a minute" since we've fully introduced ourselves. We are two siblings, "sibbleberries," we like to say. Laura is a young Boomer and Jean is a bit more seasoned Boomer. We live in Beautiful Ohio. In fact, Laura played the piano and recorded the opening music you hear at the start of each podcast episode. The song is "Beautiful Ohio"- the official song of our state. Much of our immediate family lives close to us- and the rest are only 2 states away. We are all happily ok together and we want the same for everyone- Gen Z to Boomers- to laugh, lean in and hug.We hope you will enjoy getting to know two Boomers who are trying their best. We like to begin each episode by sharing the highlights of our week. We then move on to discuss a few topics that have sparked our interest. Don't worry- we never take things too seriously; you may even wonder how we manage to lead productive lives because we are also goofing up or creating calamities, even though our hearts are in the right place. Eppy 71 features airline travel tips, Mother of the Bride decisions, going to the movies, and how road trips are like binge-watching a series. Do you get those "back to school" feelings or triggers each September? Laura shares how to reset and motivate yourself. Thanks for listening. Find out more at OKBoomerPod.com, or any podcast app. OK Boomer Podcast is also on YouTube.

Jean & Laura tackle the "Print Books or Kindle" decision. We dare you to not laugh at her massage experience! We could have chatted even more, but we were worried about our OH's.

Are you all feeling happily ok, friends!? Good, because we have a "really big shew" for you this time. (If you are a Boomer, you will know who said this quote. If you are younger, we hope you enjoy this Eppy as much as we did!)Our big topics were really BIG! Yes, we pondered "choice". How much choice do we really have? We also dove into daily time and money management, the importance of talking to yourself in the mirror, and affirmations that make our day better. This may sound rather serious- but you know us. We stay true to our merry selves. What else happens in Eppy 68? Laura is back to calamities and faux pas! She also shares Mayflies, and a family reunion. Does Jean have a small face? Breaking news on arm pit hair is revealed.  Phi Mu is still active! "Steadfast in Sisterhood since 1852" https://phimu.org/"Forever Faithful" is their motto.
