As one of the most powerful mother/son duos on this splendid planet Earth, we feel responsible to let our voices be heard by those close to us on topics we care about. In each of our blog posts, we will both describe what we were thinking/feeling when we were….
Reading British detective mystery novels
Listening to thought-provoking podcasts
Contemplating existentialism in the 21st century
Watching Zac Efron frolic around foreign countries
You might be thinking something along the lines of “Why the hell is Brennan writing a blog? He doesn’t know shit!” or “Who does Heidi think she is?” Both warranted questions, but there’s a reason behind us taking time out of our swamped daily lives to write a blog. We both want to learn more about important worldly shit and then express our views on that particular worldly shit to start a productive discourse on topics that most often go unmentioned in our day-to-day lives. Seems like a much better use of time than doomscrolling or rewatching “New Girl” for the 8th time, doesn’t it?
Now, let us dive into how the blog is structured.
Let’s say the topic is dogs. Nothing crazy, just dogs. For each post, one of us will provide our thoughts (Heidi in green, Brennan in purple. Screw gender norms), then the other will respond. See example below:
“I hate dogs so much and I’ll never get another dog again because I have a shitty cat named Finneas that brings limited value to my life and runs away when I try to pet him! I also don’t care if my lame son Brennan thinks I should get a dog!” – Heidi
“Damn Mom, you should get a dog” – Brennan
And we will write posts whenever we get the urge. We know we fell off for a long while – Brennan was pursuing a cloud technology certification which might have been the lamest shit ever – but we are back and better than ever.
If you’re confused, or if you miss your boy, call Brennan at (814) 308-3346. We want to encourage everyone to share their thoughts with us on these topics in an effort to create the aforementioned productive discourse. With that said, please enjoy, and let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement :).
Then I was… still thinking about virtue but thinking even harder this time – Brennan continues the investigation with the help of a cool YouTube video.

Then I was… thinking about virtue – Brennan’s take on a lost character quality in our modern society. And Heidi’s angle on virtue from her own experiences.

Then I was… thinking about rites of passage – Heidi’s take on bachelor parties and other rites of passage after her son’s recent bachelor weekend.


Then I was… thinking about classic American literature – The dynamic duo both read Catch-22 and have some thoughts on it as well as American literature’s role in education.
Then I was… on a different continent. – Heidi took a trip to Europe / North Africa recently. Join us as we discuss expanding our horizons through travel.
