All smiles for today's episode! Today Dad and I talk about intentionally celebrating and making memories as a family. When you're raising kids- whether they are young, teens, or grown- things can feel heavy and hard at times. That is why it is so important to take time to encourage and celebrate one another. It takes intentionality but today Dad gives great wisdom on this topic. Today's convo will...

As I scroll any app this time of the year, first day of school pictures and newly decorated dorm rooms fill my feed. It’s really easy to look at the bright smiles, new outfits, and brand new bedding and assume that everyone else has their life together. On today’s episode we chat about the comparison trap - how we can recognize it in ourselves and ways to fight it. You aren’t the only one who batt...

The beginning of the school year usually means schedules get busier. Between extra curricular activities and homework, there isn’t much time left for anything else. It’s easy, as parents, to put our heads down and do what needs to be done on our checklist. Get the kids to school, go to work, pick the kids up, cook dinner, fix lunches, read books, do bedtime, and everything else that comes between!...

Here we are again! Today Dad and I continue the conversation surrounding back to school. We dive a little deeper into the area of back to school routines and I share some real life struggles that I’ve faced as my kiddos have already been back at school for a few weeks. Here’s to hoping y’all can learn from my own mistakes! Dad shares alot of wisdom on ways we can be intentional with our kids and a...

We are backkkkk! We hope you've had a great summer full of friends, family, fun and some good A/C! (At least if you live in the South where it's been hot as all get-out!) Dad and I are super excited to bring you along for some fresh new conversations this semester. You can expect to leave each conversation with nuggets of wisdom, practical tips/resources and of course some laughs... and maybe some...

Throughout the month of June we will be re-airing some of our greatest hits from season one! Today's episode is a re-air of episode 13! Today we have a VERY special guest and her name is... Mom. Just kidding, her name is Mika, but she is Mom to me. She is wife and best friend to Toby and Honey to her grandkids. She is loved by so many and I am elated that our podcast family (that's you!) is gettin...

Throughout the month of June we will be re-airing some of our greatest hits from season one! Today's episode is a re-air of episode 8! In a world full of filtered photos and targeted ads, how can we really see ourselves how God sees us? We are prone to look in the mirror and just see what everyone else sees- to see the things we think are wrong or the things we think need fixing. And then, how do...

Throughout the month of June we will be re-airing some of our greatest hits from season one! Today's episode is a re-air of episode 3! Does your kid ever act out in front of others and suddenly you’re in a ball of sweat? Have you ever walked away from an interaction with someone, your heart pounding, and then couldn’t stop thinking about it all day? You get in a funk and you just can’t get out? We...

Throughout the month of June we will be re-airing some of our greatest hits from season one! Today's episode is a re-air of episode 2! This week Toby shares his personal story of a real storm that he has battled in his life- panic and anxiety. He and Bailey chat about what it looks like to talk about mental health with your kids and also how to model what a healthy parent does when they’re struggl...

When tragedy strikes, in any form, how as parents should we handle it? What do we say to our kids? For me it is easy to freeze up and say nothing because I am unsure of what to do. For others, you may handle it differently. Just a day or two before this episode was recorded, the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas took place. Press play and listen as I talk to Dad candidly about how to stay mentally healthy...

As we move into the summer, a new season brings fun and excitement! But these types of transitions can also bring about changes that may feel overwhelming or just unknown. In this candid conversation, I talk to Dad about the expectations and pressures I feel as a mom when it comes to summer and how I don't always know how to handle them. To be honest, we recorded this on the first day of summer wh...

Today we have a VERY special guest and her name is... Mom. Just kidding, her name is Mika, but she is Mom to me. She is wife and best friend to Toby and Honey to her grandkids. She is loved by so many and I am elated that our podcast family (that's you!) is getting the chance to glean from this woman's wisdom. Up until this point, Dad has shared a lot about his journey with panic attacks and anxie...

Y'all know what it's like to have an intrusive thought that scares you so badly, you mentally head into a downward spiral? Or you have a child who is so scared of the dark, they won't go in a room on their own? What about a teenager who is about to take on new responsibilities- a job, a move to college, etc- and yet they just don't seem to be themselves? Maybe you keep these "irrational" fears, wh...

As Mental Health Awareness month begins, we are excited to be a part of helpful conversations regarding mental health. We are comfortable talking and sharing about this topic but we know that it is often viewed as a taboo thing to discuss. Today we are going to to begin an ongoing conversation surrounding mental health as we talk about what it looks like when someone is struggling at various ages,...

If we don’t feel worthy of God’s love, of God’s generosity-if we don’t see ourselves the way God sees us, we will never be able to see others the way He sees them. And treating others the way God treats us is really what it’s all about, wouldn’t you agree? It’s the Golden Rule and most people would say “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”  But what does that mean for you...
