#25: Let us All Stop Freaking Out About Holiday

Glad Thanksgiving everyone! We have prepared these freshly baked and delicious show notes for you for Episode #25 of Turbodizin Has A Podcast. On this week’s episode we are getting festive. Christmas is around the corner, which means so is the lively (and the frenzied chaos) of the season. So we are sharing how we decorating our house for the holidays – and the seasons in general. Plus, Sherry takes on a surprising decorating client, John lets go of the pursuit for the ideal family dinner, and we share a seemingly small feature in our kitchen that is making a big impact. Also we talk about the invention of the broom. Prepare yourself to be riveted.

You can download this episode from iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and TuneIn Radio – or listen to it below! Then use this page to check out any links, notes, or photos that we referenced.

What is Not

Wanna learn about Shakers and their inventions? Here is the primary article I pulled from, mostly about Tabitha Babbitt and the invention of the circular saw. I also did a bit of Wikipedia-ing, so some of my facts rest on the general public.
Also, here is the difference between Mission and Shaker styles (spoiler: it is subtle)
Plus, the history of the broom!

You can find all of our holiday decorating posts here, but below are a few highlights:

- Our outdoor Christmas decor
- A look back at our holiday makeover for a local Children’s Hospital
- How we store/pack away all of our holiday gear
And here is a look at our little bit of Easter decor: the “tree” we make in the foyer with branches & colorful eggs
