It’s a spook-tacular edition of The Bestie Breakdown!
But first, YOU GUYS!!!!!!
Holy cow!!!!!
I am BLOWN AWAY by your donations yesterday!!!!
YOU MADE MY BIRTHDAY SO SPECIAL!!!!!!!!
I seriously cried at the end of the day!
UPDATE! As of 7:00 AM CST, we have raised $51,579!!!!
Oh my gosh!!!!! WE EXCEEDED MY GOAL!!!!!!!!! I am beside myself! I am so excited! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! What a wonderful way to celebrate my birthday and honor sweet Ashby!!!!!
If you didn’t see yesterday’s post and want to donate today, there is still time! Head to my blog post for the information and link. I am thankful for you every single day, but I am flat-out overwhelmed by your love and support today.
I don’t know how we transition to a podcast, but here it goes. Agh! Ha!
Today, Erika and I are going to BREAK DOWN HALLOWEEN!
From traditions to food, favorite candy…a big debate on best day of the week for October 31st to fall on, it’s all festive and fun on today’s episode! If you want to be in the mood for this weekend, make sure you take a listen! This episode was FUN to record and fun to play back too!
ONE CHANGE THOUGH!! So many of you reached out and asked us to give you one extra week to read this month’s book club book, so in this episode, we repeatedly say it airs next week, November 2, but we’re actually going to push it one week to give you more time to finish reading. A new episode will be out next week but not the book club…that will now air on November 9th. Disregard what we say in today’s episode about the air date being next week 🙂 .
Happy Halloween from my spooky house to yours! You can hear the episode HERE or on your favorite podcast platform (iTunes, Spotify, etc).
As a reminder, so far this season we’ve broken down HAWAII, TRAVELING TOGETHER, BINGE WATCHING, FRIENDSHIP, BOTOX, BIKINIS, FITNESS, THE BESTIES, SOCIAL MEDIA, ENNEAGRAM, RECAPPED THE FIRST TEN, BACK TO SCHOOL, BIRTH, DIET, FALL, TIME, SLOW COOKERS, AIR FRYERS AND INSTANT POTS, BOOK CLUB #1, THE BACHELOR and our hubbies broke down PODCAST EPISODES 1-20 in PART 1 AND PART2!

I loved this episode! It was so fun to hear you just chat. I would love to hear an episode with your MOMS. The husbands were so fun- next, let’s have the moms!

That’s AMAZING!!!! What generosity!! ❤❤❤ Also, THANK YOU for pushing back the book club date! I’m currently reading the book, and that gives me enough time to finish! ?
Deena says
That’s so great, Shay! What a happy birthday you had! I live in the area and had no idea it was so charitable to families. Definitely a good cause and we were happy to contribute in a small way.
I was away so just finished the guys’ podcast and loved it as always. I had to laugh when they were talking about their tattoos after remembering your comments on it. ?
Anneka says
I’m so happy to hear the fundraiser was a tremendous success! Ashby has touched so many lives with her sweet testimony. ❤

Random bit of information.. I read an article a few years ago where someone bought the holiday shaped Reese’s for 1 year to do a study on which shape has the best peanut butter to chocolate ratio. Turns outs the Valentine heart has the most peanut butter. Personally I prefer the egg. I make my own each year.
Karen says
Great episode…just had to tell you we bought our sleep number bed because of your recommendation, and we love it! I am a 35 and my husband is a 75!! We bought the partially split king and the snore setting on his side has done wonders for our restful nights!!! I wish I could take the bed with me when we travel!! Haha
Mix and Match Mama says
YAY! They’re game-changers, right?!
Jennibell says
What a spectacular birthday fundraiser! I am sure that was a great way to begin decade number four of your life 🙂
I think what I like the most about your episodes is how respectful you both are to each other and to the audience. I do not come at Halloween from the same perspective as you but appreciate hearing how you celebrate.
I am wondering if you all would consider doing an episode on a gift buying for this year? I know you do tons and tons of gift guide posts but it would be great to hear about some of the best gifts you’ve ever received and why they were your best gets.
One reason I enjoy listening to you both so much is because, Shay, you are my sister’s clone and I relate so well to Erika. This is a compliment… God has blessed me with the very best sister ever!! When you were talking about the holidays and how your families celebrate… I was able to understand what goes on in my sister’s head and I very much respect that perspective and her decisions ❤️
You all left out my favorite holiday though…THANKSGIVING!!!
Mix and Match Mama says
There is just too much to love in this one comment! Thank YOU for being so sweet, supportive and encouraging!!! We are going to try to talk about gifting this year, so stay tuned. Sending you (and your sister!!) so much love 🙂 !
