If you listen to our podcast, you know we end every episode with a segment we call Megan and Wendy Approved. We each share one favorite item that’s been blowing our mind, or makes our lives easier or more fun.
Instead of digging back through each podcast episode to look for that one thing either of us mentioned, we’ve complied all the items here. We’ll keep adding our Megan and Wendy Approved favorites going forward.
