it's life. Loudly

Today we're just going to have fun catching you up on life and telling you what some of our favorite products are from a variety of different categories!

We jumped into parenting head first. We went from zero kids to two overnight and I learned I needed some routines in order to be able to keep our home from constant chaos. I think kids thrive from structure, even if they have imagination and free play within that structure. With two young kids, summer days got long, kids got bored, which led to more fighting and complaining. I spent more time play...

This one is for all of our parents who have girls; especially girls who are approaching the preteen era. As a teacher, I noticed how intimidating it can be to be a girl with a changing body and a unique development speed. It's honestly really stressful, and actually terrifying, for girls to navigate all of it, especially when they think they are doing it all on their own. I am here to walk you...

Thanks to everyone who has been watching and enjoying my house organization videos. Dalton and I clean and organize very differently so here's a little chat on some house management tips and tricks. Maybe this will help you jumpstart a project and fix a few pain points in your home.

Here's a list of what I have been watching, reading, and listening to lately!

We're back from our spring break! We never meant it to be that long but that's just how life rolls, buy living life loud and all.

It's that time of year to get your kids signed up for 'All the Things'.

It's been a hot minute. Here's a life update!

Make sure you start with Part 1. Here's the rest of our journey on how their story becomes part of our story!

By popular demand, I snagged Kacie for an interview all about being a foster care parent! People have often asked us questions about the foster care system and how it works to become a foster parent, but Dalton and I did not take the traditional route when going through adoption so we do not have all of the answers. Thank you Kacie + Eric for accepting the call that God had for them and saying &#3...

A little bit unorganized, but today we're going to walk through what we feel like is the hardest job you'll ever have - parenting. Too many people are not honest with one another about how often life is crazy, messy, and an overall hot mess. It may look like we have our ducks in a row, but we don't even know where our ducks are half of the time. There is an insane pressure in our cultu...

We interrupt this regular program with a random rant about tables that no one asked for. It's calving season! We have calves on the ground so the seasons are turning. Let's chat with Rancher Dalton about this season and some wild calving stories.

I've partnered with a company I have been using for years. Shaklee is a health/wellness company that provides us with cleaning supplies, supplements, household products, skincare and all the things. I started with one product and have now replaced so many products in my home with a better option. Now we've found so many other companies with better food alternatives and better products for...

We've been asked the question on how we censor media in our homes. We'll talk books, movies, TV, cell phones, screens and all the things. Do we know what we're doing? Absolutely not. This is trial and error every day as the world throws more things at us and our kids. Hopefully you have more tips and tricks to add to help us out!

Let's just rant and get some things off our chest, shall we?

We had a FULL two weeks over Christmas and it was for sure living life LOUD! From snow to sunshine we left the North Dakota cold and headed to the heat of the Dominican Republic. In this episode we recap our full two weeks of travel.

Listen along as we walk through our 2025. We're going to talk through month by month, our 2025. It's easy to get caught up in the daily grind and we overlook all of the amazing things we did in the year. Let's relive it.

Christmas season is here! Today we're talking about our opinions on gifts, and some of our favorite and not so favorite gifts!

We're chatting about how we get ready for Christmas, our traditions, and the fun things we do around the holidays!

So excited for Mr. and Mrs. West but boy was the traveling interesting... So thankful for my amazing assistant for sticking through this with me. It was a weekend to remember!

If you didn't listen to part one, go back and listen. Here's the rest of our conversation with our friend Coke!

It's Coke! Dalton's friend Cole (coke) joins us to chat all about hunting! An episode that Dalton has probably been dreaming about for a long time!

We missed a week! We made sure it wouldn't happen again this week. This week, we walk you through the roller coasters we are living right now and how we handle it. Not sure if everything we do is always right but we try to do what's best for us in the season we're in. If you're living in a roller coaster right now... we're hear for it.

We shared a lot about what faith looks like in our family and how we find support to make that a priority. Someone in the crowd asked us to share our testimonies more personally and how we even got to this point. In this episode, we walk you through our personal faith journeys, how they connected to each other, and key moments that helped define where we are today. If you've never shared your...

It's a Who Knows Who Best special! We tried to challenge each other with some questions - all just for fun while going LIVE the first time on the podcast. Take the POLL at the end!
