What does Brandon Sanderson, turning 40, and selling our kids’ stuff have in common? Somehow, they’re all part of this episode. 😂
We’re diving into The Skyward Series by Brandon Sanderson, talking about Skyward, Starsight, Cytonic, and Defiant, along with the characters, world-building, and ideas that make this YA science fiction series so much fun to discuss.
We also talk about real life: turning 40, what that milestone actually feels like, and the beautiful (and slightly chaotic) reality of raising kids—including surviving a kids’ consignment sale.

Welcome to “The Faith, Kids, and Pixie Dust Podcast!” Meet Lauren and Kimberly, two longtime best friends. We are both married with two daughters each, and we love getting lost in fantasy and romantasy books. In our first episode, we introduce the three pillars of our podcast—faith, kids, and pixie dust—and talk about how we find time to read as busy moms. We walk our viewers through the various platforms we’ve tried for both text and audiobooks including: Libby, Hoopla, CloudLibrary, Audible, Everand, Little Free Libraries, and Kindle. We share what you can expect from our book podcast, including fantasy book discussions, reading recommendations, and honest conversations about the books we love.
