Archibald and Smiley Experiments: Summer 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A quarterly update on the experiments we've been trying in the Archibald home, with guest Andi Smiley to share her own summer experiments with her kids (5, 7, and 9). We talk about experiments - and th e lack thereof—eating in while on vacation, road tripping, chores, finding each kid's currency, audiobooks, and pushing ourselves to try scary new things. Andi hosts her own podcast, The Friendy Podcast Guide , to help women create, launch, and grow their podcasts.
Bonus Episode: Ring That Barbershop Chord (podcast competition entry) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I did a scary thing and entered a podcast competition for a show I love, Twenty Thousand Hertz. I didn't win, but I wanted to put this out into the world anyway! Do something that scares you (at least a little bit) today!
How We Run the Archibald Home: Now with an App! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I made an app! This summer I organized all of our family systems and organization into one app to help teach my kids skills, manage our home, distribute labor, and keep track of fun things like traditions, favorite things, and bucket lists. In this episode I talk about how we run our home and how this app reflects our evolving systems and routines. You can sign up for a free month at https://familylab.lovable.app . After that month, it's $3 a month.
