Warning! At the beginning of the episode during our snack we discuss Santa and you might not want little ears to listen. But after that the coast is clear.With the end of the year approaching we reflect on 2018 and share our personal highlights plus the best books, movies, products, meals, and podcasts we enjoyed. We also year from past Erica and Kelsey to see if the years we predicted came true. We snack on the ultimate holiday cookie: dark chocolate covered peppermint Joe-Joe's and the not so ultimate pfeffernusse.Things we mention on the show:Episode of The Nuanced Life with discussion of therapyKelsey on GoodreadsThe Heart's Invisible Furies (Erica recommends the audiobook)Bad Blood (audiobook)The Great AloneThe Magnolia Table CookbookGirl, Wash Your FaceLittle Fires EverywhereWhere the Crawdads SingImagine Me GoneGet Out A Star is BornCulinary DropoutKelsey's standing desk (desk built to be standing desk height which for Kelsey is 41 inches)Tommy John lounge joggersThe Glitter Revival earringsPink YetiInstant PotSenegence mascaraOur episode all about podcasts we loveSlow Burn (both seasons)Jen Hatmarker's For the Love! podcastThe Mom HourStraight and Curly podcast ep 2018 Year in ReviewFinishLouise Penny mystery novelsTana French mystery novelsThe Silkworm Connect with us on Instagram / @higirlsnextdoor and on Facebook.Sign up for our monthly newsletter and see show notes on our website: girlnextdoorpodcast.comWe love to get your emails: higirlsnextdoor@gmail.comYour reviews on Apple Podcasts really help the show - thank you!  Hosted on Acast.
