I haven't been able to hang out and laugh with Sarah.Sarah Collins (00:33.477)Yes, we have. well, I have missed you because I've been home with my children. And I tell you what, I was telling you before we got on today, that is a great way to get the worst of me. Like I wish I could say just love the time home and it's so cozy and we just hang out. But I have two five year olds and a six year old and it is a little torturous and it gets cold here in Nebraska and there's not that much to do. And we're just like rolling over each other, making messes, cleaning them up.And I just seriously, this is not how you get the best of me. This is when the worst of me comes out. Like I haven't been working. I haven't talked to like adults that are not in my family. I haven't been going out and doing things on my own. Turns out I need that. Turns out that's important to me. You know, we say woo needs to eat while my woo is starving.Bill Dippel (01:21.761)Yeah.Lindsay Bradley- Guided Arrows (01:25.711)All right.Bill Dippel (01:26.707)And here and there's this soapbox moment by Sarah brought to you by Blue Lemon.

So I'm curious, is there anything in your world, Sarah, anything that never fails to make you laugh no matter how many times you see it?Sarah Collins (01:57.843)Sarah Collins (02:15.473)Okay, well this is so funny because my children who I have mentioned, have a son who is six and twin daughters that are five and they love making me laugh. In fact, when I put my kids to bed, I always spend some quality, like five to 10 minutes with each of them alone at bedtime. And my son is always trying to tickle me and I'll be like, hey, can you just like stop? And he said to me one night, mom, when you laugh, it makes my heart warm. my gosh.Lindsay Bradley- Guided Arrows (02:43.692)Sarah Collins (02:45.351)So they're constantly trying to make me laugh.
