Episodes

  • In today’s episode, we dove into the different stages of parenting and the incredible yet difficult moments that come with each one. From Infancy to young adulthood, it was cool to walk through each age range and talk about what we’re looking forward to (or terrified about) the most. If you’re a parent out there, let us know if you can relate! 

    Love you guys!

  • We took our three kids to the Olympic Games and made a month-long trip out of it where we adventured through France, London and Italy. It was incredible in so many ways and we’re beyond thankful for our time as a family but if you’re a parent out there you know that traveling anywhere with three kids can bring a whole different set of challenges. Overall, our trip was amazing and we wanted to spend this episode answering some of the questions you had for us! We hope you enjoy :) 
    Love you guys,

We laughed, we cringed and we felt your pain with some of these unbelievable dates that sound too cringy and hilarious to be true.

    Welcome to Part 2 of “Assumptions About Our Marriage!” We got so many assumptions sent in when we asked you all on social media that we had to break it into two episodes! These are always interesting and funny episodes for us to record and it’s fun to read what some of you assume about us…even though some of them are very interesting to say the least :)

    In this episode, we decided to throw it back old school YouTube style and do an “Assumptions” episode! We asked you all to send in your latest assumptions about our marriage on social media and we were honestly shocked with the amount of assumptions (both good and…well, interesting) we got! We ended up getting so many good ones sent in we decided to break this up into two episodes! We hope you find this episode interesting and get to know us a little better :)
