What Makes an Idea Interesting?
Episode Transcript MAUGHAN: Wait a minute… * * * DUCKWORTH: I’m Angela Duckworth. MAUGHAN: I’m Mike Maughan. DUCKWORTH + MAUGHAN: And you’re listening to No Stupid Questions. Today on the show: What makes an idea interesting? DUCKWORTH: “Oh hey, look over here! What you thought was true is not true!” * * * MAUGHAN: Angela, I am so excited to be with you today. But first things first, even before we hop into today’s conversation, we have an important announcement to make.
#wieiad - Small Fry

LUNCH + SNACKS Siete Almond Flour Wrap with Steak,...
mccall, idaho - Small Fry
Taking my family on a ski trip has been a long time bucket list item of mine and for my 35th birthday Russ and my friends made it happen! Russ just started skiing last season so I’ve been attempting to teach my kids solo. Mix in pregnancies and babies and it took a lot longer than I would’ve liked but we’re getting there!! Proud of us all. We went to McCall, Idaho which is one of the most gorgeous places I’ve ever been hands down.
6 FALL LOOKS - Small Fry
In this post I was breaking down how I wanted to shop + dress for Fall 2021, to summarize all the looks that excited me had a few things in common! Here’s the formula: On-trend pants 2. Something “loungey” 3. Oversized outerwear. So here is a week’s worth of options that I wore last week! Once you know you’re looking for you can focus on shopping for pieces you need in your own closet and in store.
pantry upgrades - Small Fry
SPICE RACK DIY LABELS – I used the 1.8″ square labels. If you want the rounded corners get the contemporary line, the minimal line has the straight edges. I ordered all 80 because it was like $2 more and I’d rather have them on hand! You can custom order any you might need, too! Buy them here. SPICE JARS – I grabbed these 3 ounce jars which are 2 inches wide (set of 18). For reference a Trader Joe’s spice jar holds 2.3 ounces and is 1.5 inches wide.
AIP RECIPES - Small Fry
Anti-Inflammatory Protocol — where you restrict many, many foods for a number of weeks and slowly reintroduce one bye one! I did this for 3 months and definitely found my stride with a handful of recipes and you’ll find them all below! These recipes are AIP compliant which means no sugar, no dairy, no grains/corn, healthy fats only (butter, olive or avocado oil mostly), no nightshades — potatoes, peppers, eggplants which are known to cause inflammation — and nothing artificial! DRESSINGS —...

Here is a collection of everything I read over the last six months! Rating details — 3 stars – liked it | 4 stars – loved it | 5 stars – life changing — I double starred** the ones I think would be good for a book club and single* starred the ones I read in my own book club! I use an Audible monthly subscription (and return A LOT of books if I don’t like them) as well as Libby which is an app that attaches to your library card.
benefit concert - Small Fry
My son’s best friend August was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and to help @fight4gus we have a put together a. benefit concert October 23rd at our house! We had originally planned it to just be a concert and nothing more but, Collin’s foundation Save the Kids reached out and wanted to help and I am a puddle of tears! They’re brining One Voice Children’s Choir with them and trust me, the second those kids open their mouths, you’ll be either bawling or jaw-dropped.
lovevery - Small Fry
Sponsored Review. Lovevery has been in our house for about a month and it has proven to be a parenting game changer. Woody is far and away my busiest, most destructive and independent child. He truly wears me out. I know full well a lot of times he’s just bored, but I am also super tired and worried about a lot of other things. I don’t always remember to pull out the toys that will help his development. So I LOVE this business model.
sock it to me - Small Fry
I love a pretty nylon sock with embroidered detailing! I sort of collect them and my friend bought me the prettiest pairs by Hansel from Basel. I have tracked them online for a year with no luck, and I always feel bad when I wear them and can’t link for anyone interested. So I sourced a bunch of options below!! Hope you enjoy! My tips would be to handwash them, and get a longer shaft in the ankle.

Book picks for the last few months! Upstairs at the White House: My Life with the First Ladies by JB West || If the people who made the Crown got on this it would be the greatest show. So many funny and interesting little bits of history. Really enjoyed it! Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty || This is so well done. I think a must read for someone at the beginning of their mental wellness journey, just diving in.
2021 Christmas Card
Sponsored by Paper Culture. Photos by Hunter Fowler. Earlier this year I had set myself the intention that my top priority would be to seek things that filled me with light. Whether that was more knowledge, more peace, more contentment, a closer relationship with my higher power and angels, and slowing down enough to know what activities and people and places offered that to me. That’s it. Seek light.
Best SPF Lip Products
A couple weeks ago I polled my Instagram friends for lip products that contained SPF. The only other qualification was that they couldn’t taste like it. Certain SPF chaptsticks have the ability to infiltrate your mouth, and settle in the back of your throat for hours. IFYKYK. If you know, you know. So, I took the top 10 most suggested products and clicked “add to cart.” Ordered them all, and took the next week or so trying them out. No more than two per day, not wanting to taint my results.
new travel musts
CODES: Sly Beauty “EMILY15” for 15% off until 9.27 and “SMALLFRY10” for 10% Blueprints Project Back in April we had booked a week at a beach house in Destin, Florida with some friends. Sadly we had to cancel that trip due to Covid (the beaches were totally shut down by the time our dates came and went!) We picked a date far into the future feeling that things would surely be resolved by then… September.
platforms 4 ways
Platforms are always a fun bet, but especially this Spring. They’re EVERYWHERE!! Channeling the Clueless and Spice Girls era which I was a little too young and rolled-ankle-prone to capitalize on the first time around. Here are a bunch of favorites: But here’s how I’d style 4 in my closet. The votes were cast and platforms eked out the win, but with luxe fabrics a very close second. And also generous interest in the Spring trench coat, too.
beach vacation musts
If you’re traveling for a getaway beach vacation here are our must-haves that pack tight and light! Thanks to the Buy Guide for sharing a few of these first! SHORTS FOR ANTI-CHAFE – If you’ve got boys/men, your boys/men need these! SURF GUY – All ages, boys and girls, used these for hours everyday! Get two or more, or have your friends get them as well! I know they seem pricey, but they’re so fun and racing them would’ve been extra fun.
destin, florida - Small Fry
This trip had no agenda except to play on the beach, and that is what we did! We ventured out on colder days (#hurricanesally) and found some local delights! We are in no way experts, amateurs at best, but here’s what we did and liked for the handful of you heading that way soon! So jealous. ♡ Also weaving in some family photos my friend Jenné snapped for us on portrait mode with a Jess Kettle preset. Saving our favorites for a Holiday greeting card. I’ll do outfit links at the very bottom.
frickin’ bats - Small Fry
Bats! I used two bags and none of the smallest size and just a handful of the 2nd smallest. I’ll reuse them for years and had tons of small ones left over! Runner Everything else linkable! Neon is by Echo Neon and credenza is IKEA Besta! Plant is String of Bananas and unkillable. Amethyst geode was my grandma’s and the books I couldn’t link are vintage. ♡ HAVE THE BEST WEEKEND!!
october audible picks
Here were my reads for the last month on Audible! JUST KIDS — Singer, Songwriter, Artist Patti Smith’s Memoir, specifically of her time and relationship with fellow artist Robert Mapplethorpe. She narrates it and her pronunciations cracked me up. Drawling, yeller, feller. Charming slash irritating.
Skullcuterie 2.0
Teamed up with Annie’s to create a better-for-you grazing board with our good friend Scary Potter. All fresh ingredients and Annie’s Bunny Grahams and Fruit Snacks! Packaged, safe for all tolerances and ready to go! Catch last year’s here. // Scary Potter the Skeleton here.
fall trends 2020: shin boot
This installment of Styled 4 Ways started with a vote on 4 boot trends! I put it to a vote and the mid shin platform clunker won (with this hiking boot in a very close second!) What I love about this boot “The Renoir” is that it hits a bit higher on the leg – right under the calf and it makes your leg look so shapely and trim.
fall 2021 outfit ideas
After doing a little research about Fall 2021 Trends this image adequately describes what I saw. Just. a lot. of beige. It’s like all anyone could come up with was some monochromatic layering. Which don’t get me wrong, LOVE it. But I felt a little bored and uninspired. SO! I came up with an easy equation for creating a Fall 2021 look that you can tailor to fit your favorite silhouettes, color palettes and personal style. READY? PANTS WITH INTEREST.
collin kartchner, my brother
I had the daunting task and honor of writing my brother’s obituary last week. I did my best to do him justice and sound professional. But then I got tasked with sharing a life sketch for Collin’s memorial and knowing it would be just in front of family, I felt like it could use a rewrite. So many of you are aching with us, to feel connected in this darkness. This is the obituary I wrote for friends, and that’s what I, and I know he, considered you all. This was my experience with Collin, the brother.
november audible picks
Here’s what we listened to in October, for our November book picks! BOYS ADRIFT – A crash course every mom of boys should read. I am 10 years deep as a boy mom, should’ve read it 10 years ago!! Felt like I knew a lot/most of it already in my own research and study and it’s very thorough and well done. 3 Stars. OPEN BOOK by Jessica Simpson – She really GOES THERE. She is open and honest and vulnerable and it was so appreciated by me.
december audible picks
Took me a couple months to get back to these posts, but I still read. A lot. At first it was to drown out the pain and intrusive thoughts of losing my brother. And then it was to feel closer to him, to feel closer to light. Then it was to search for answers and knowledge and next steps. I read some of these books before we lost him, and some after. To prep for these posts, I try and jot down notes about each book as I finish them.
christmas cards 2020
In partnership with Paper Culture. Find my card here. Christmas cards are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season and I’m so glad we snapped these iPhone pics from our vacation, it was so easy and stress free and so was the card making process. If you’re holding back because of photos, take the pressure off yourself and have a friend or self-timer grab some! My method for the clothes was to grab everything in the same shades and hues and hope for the best.

danish pastry recipe
Here is my family’s traditional Christmas morning Danish Pastry! I always felt daunted by it as it’s a huge part of our Christmas experience and who wants to be the idiot that makes a bad danish? But I finally seized some courage and made it. It’s not extremely difficult. The shaping/braiding is the hardest part. But there are a lot of steps and elements so just follow the steps and you truly won’t go wrong! There are several parts to this recipe.
cladding dining nook DIY
Timber cladding is huge in European and Scandinavian building. It’s typically thin strips of wood either raised off the surface, or flush, to create dimension and texture. So happy Russ had some time to bang out this for our dining nook! Sharing all the supplies and some general steps if you want to recreate or hire it out! It’s definitely doesn’t require super skills but the right tools, and time will help you do this for MUCH less money than some of the shortcuts or hiring out allow.
january audible picks
TELL THE WOLVES I’M HOME — A sweet story of a young girl who loses her uncle to AIDS and unravels the truth after he passes. I thought it was a really poignant portrayal of grief and how each person does so differently, “owns” a different part of the dead and none of those experiences take away or nullify from the others. A story of how the people left behind can band together, like a pack of wolves. No one should suffer alone.
february audible picks
February was a dryer month for me! I started and quit several books and nothing seemed to grab or excite me. I’ve had a lot on my mind lately and I’m sure that’s working against me. But here’s what I read! WHAT KIND OF WOMAN — Like everyone, I found Kate Baer via Joanna Goddard and fell in love with her poetry. Finally got around to reading my copy and it was delightful, poignant, funny, and empowering.
Lee Kohse Has Neal Adams' Booth At San Diego Comic-Con SDCC 2022
This was one of the questions I had repeatedly asked of me earlier this year. Given Neal Adams' enormous presence at San Diego Comic-Con over the years, with a booth that often swamped those enjoyed by major comic book publishers, selling his work, his prints, original art and given the chance for the man to address his fans as one might a gaggle of admirers around an armchair, after his passing, what would happen to his iconic space?

I put forward the thought that the average American cares more about....
Food and gas prices thanÖ. Trump Biden Putin Ukraine The Constitution Terrorism Black lives Supreme Court At the water cooler, you might get someone not paying attention to believe that Trump is too cozy with Putin. What they will really know is who is President when they fill up their tank that same day. We are correct in often discussing American society as a whole to be pretty selfish. Rugged individualism is well rooted in our society.
