Christmas is a favorite time for many and we love Christmas movies in our house! We have a few must-watch favorites every year and we want to know yours! We also love our gut health supplements, especially this time of year! With New Years Resolutions coming soon and heading into a season that can sometimes bring anxiety, taking care of ourselves is so important. A few of my recent favorites: Vita...

We have a fun episode that looks at each of our enneagram types and, ultimately, whether they truly matter. What are the pros and cons of knowing your personality and the personalities of those around you? We also take a little walk down memory lane and the start of our love story and family. It was fun to connect over shared memories and love. Want to know how we take care of the family we've...

Happy Thanksgiving! We would love to know your favorite Thanksgiving traditions and what you are looking forward to most this year! For us - cinnamon rolls, the parade, football outside and turkey. What about you? We are also so thankful for our family, church family, friends, and all of you. Black Friday: A note about our sponsor, Plexus Worldwide, and the 🔥 Black Friday special - As a NEW custo...

In preparation for Thanksgiving, and just to switch things up a little bit, we dive into some holiday-based "Would You Rather?" scenarios. We love having fun and enjoy our intentional time together. We hope it's an encouragement to you and we'd love to hear - Christmas before or after Thanksgiving? We still love our gut health supplements and use them for everything from inflamma...

We had a BLAST with this one - and maybe a little drama. It got intense for a few minutes as we drafted our desert island bands/artists. Rules: Snake draft and once an artist/band was taken, they were off limits. We could take the entire collection with us to our desert island once an artist/band was drafted. We love having fun and enjoy our intentional time together. We hope it's an encourage...

Probably are most fun episode yet, our Top 10 list of TV shows was tough to narrow down. Our lists range from the 1950s to current with no genre off limits. Even after making our lists we thought of a few we missed so perhaps a round 2 will be in order time time! Follow us on Instagram @the_diligent_chase and PM us YOUR favorites or comment on our post to vote for the list you'd be more likely...

When you have a gaggle of kids, food is important. What a fun way to kick off the podcast - Our Top 10 Fast Food Restaurant rankings- fantasy football style. Kit and Erin each rank their favorite fast food places and we are curious if you agree! Both lists are solid, but who takes the cake - would you rather eat off of Kit's list, or Erin's? We LOVE our supplements and so do our kids. For...

When you have a gaggle of kids, movies are important. What a fun way to kick off the podcast - Our Top 10 Disney/Pixar movie rankings- fantasy football style. Kit and Erin each rank their favorite movies and we are curious if you agree! Kit loves movies with great music and iconic classic stories. Erin loves the more modern stories and ones that she enjoys with the kids. For our favorite gut healt...

What do you remember from your school days that made no sense (at least to you) to learn? Maybe you hated it at the time or you look back and wonder WHY you had to learn it. Education should relate to the end goal: becoming a functional adult and productive member of society. Perhaps there is a function and purpose to what's being taught - then we, as educators, must make it relatable to our s...

We all bring things from our childhood and growing up years into adulthood and, ultimately marriage and parenthood. What did you bring? Your partner? What were the things you thought were familiar to everyone growing up but now you find out... maybe not everyone eats crackers with frosting. Perhaps you don't reheat your coffee multiple times a day like your spouse thinks is normal. What are so...

We all educate and parent our children a little differently from one another. We homeschool, not everyone does. We work from home, not everyone else does. We have the core foundation of why we do what we do and the confidence to know that it's right for our family. But it can be lonely trudging through the hard day without some encouragement and a community to come alongside you. Having friend...

We live life at home - Work from home, homeschool, just "home" from home. And we tag team it all. Sometimes there's discouragement, exhaustion, or judgemental questions. Whatever the discouragement, WHERE we find our source of encouragement matters. Coming back to the source of truth - Scripture - and remembering our "why" are two ways we keep ourselves encouraged when the...

Welcome to The Diligent Chase Podcast, ep. 1 Kit and Erin talk about starting homeschooling again for the 3rd year... and the changes we've made to make this year even more successful. We often get asked how we work from home and homeschool... answer inside! As stay-at-home parents, we do a few really intentional things to improve our scheduling and increase our health and wellness, including...
