Although we are closer to having grandchildren than when we first had our own kids, some advice is timeless. In this episode, we share the advice we received that was helpful (and what wasn't helpful) for those early days of parenting a newborn and keeping your sanity in the process.

  • What We've Learned About Ourselves In The Last 30 Years
    Feb 22 2024

    When we first started out in our journeys of adulthood, it seemed like you had to have your life all figured out right at the start. It's easy to be anxious about what happens as you get older, as your kids turn into teenagers. Will I make mistakes that I'll regret for the rest of my life? Can I accomplish everything I want to do before we're too old to do anything else.

    In this episode, we want to encourage you as we look back on the last 30 years of our own lives. Three decades provides a fresh perspective, especially when you realize that life is a lot different than you thought it would look when you first got married.

  • Managing Your Kids Activities And Not Losing Your Mind
    Feb 1 2024

    The moment you have kids, it doesn't take long before you literally become a soccer mom, even if you swore you'd never let yourself be the stereotype. However, here we are managing the chaos of driving to baseball or ballet or piano lessons three times a week. The activities our kids are involved in can consume your schedule before you realize it. In this episode, we share our experience of managing all the activities of our kids and how we strived for a healthy balance between it and family life.

    In the YouTube video I mentioned, all three of our kids are involved in choir at their schools, and one weekend in Tulsa was the trifecta. While my wife was the chaperon for my youngest daughter and her all state choir, my other daughter was performing with the high school all sate choir and my son’s mens choir drove up for a showcase.
