it's life. Loudly

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.

We shared a lot about what faith looks like in our family and how we find support to make that a priority.

In today's episode we are talking about all things health. We start off with our minor aches and pains from childhood and lead into our more major health events that have happened in the last few years.

We were asked the question - "What are things you are doing with your family to keep FAITH a priority?" It's been a journey and it is always changing with the ages of our kids.

Being a teenager can be messy and confusing and we remember it well. In thi...
