About this episode

Katie Lee Biegel interviews Barbara Costello about her cleaning routine, marriage, and new book.

Barbara Costello—better known as Brunch with Babs—is everyone’s favorite internet grandma, and I loved getting to sit down with her. We talk about her surprisingly simple system for keeping the house clean in just 15 minutes a day, what kind of grandma she is and what she believes has kept her marriage strong for 56 years. We also get into her new book, Homemaking with Babs, and why making a home isn’t about being perfect—it’s about creating a place where people feel loved and cared for.
