The Simple Mom Podcast

Did you know there's more to parenting than changing diapers and vacuuming LEGO? Of course you do.

Tsh Oxenreider, writer of the blog Simple Mom and founder of Simple Living Media , loves to talk about all that "other stuff." She pours herself a cup of coffee and enjoys a grown-up conversation with some of her favorite people around the Internet. Together, they chat about diapers, sure, but also date nights, good music, bedtime routines, and the challenges of working from home. Pour yourself a cup and join us! It makes the laundry fold faster.

Your Host

Tsh Oxenreider

Tsh Oxenreider is the full-time blogger behind Simple Mom and the creator of Simple Living Media, a blog network dedicated to helping people live intentionally (while throwing perfection out the window). She thinks a library card, a Netflix subscription, and a passport are some of the greatest parenting tools in the universe.

She’s a wife to Kyle, mama to Tate, Reed, and Finn, and is the author of several books. Because she has nothing else to do, she’s also writing her next book and homeschooling her oldest.

Tsh and her nomadic family currently live in Bend, Oregon, but several dots around the globe have also been called home (her 7-year-old has been on 53 airplanes and counting). Together, they love to travel, read books, go camping, and make homemade pizza for Friday Family Movie Night.

Her ultimate dinner party guests are JK Rowling, CS Lewis, Paul the Apostle, Jane Austen, Tim Gunn, and Tina Fey. Maybe one day those still alive will be podcast guests.
