2022/12/19

It’s easy to focus on all the problems we see, and most of us don’t take time to reflect on the good we’ve done. Being able to take time and reflect on some of your wins in your family is very powerful at building encouragement and hope. This is a step we don’t always take as parents enough. We can often see it as being modest or not being prideful, but celebrating our victories is always a good reminder of where we’ve been and where we are going as a family. In this episode, we talk about those

2022/12/12

Some quote Edison saying, "I have not failed 1,000 times. I have successfully discovered 1,000 ways to NOT make a light bulb." (and I would say he was pretty successful!) It’s easy to be hard on ourselves when we mess up parenting, or even to admit that we have messed up in certain areas. But when we can look at our failed parenting moments as learning opportunities and ways we can become better parents, we turn those failures to wins. In this episode we also share some of our failed moments

2022/12/02

We are talking about intimacy and the “S” word in this episode. It’s so important as a married couple to make sure you make this a priority in your marriage.
