Wow, it’s been four years! We’ve got a lot to catch up on. In this episode, we discuss significant life changes since 2020, including adding two more kids, homeschooling, buying a house, getting a cat, getting a new (used) big ol’ van, carnivore diet, exploring new hobbies, and the importance of downtime and good habits.

We would love to hear your thoughts! Please leave a review!
