I did an episode back in the beginning of Summer on fun summer hospitality ideas. And I realized that other than that, I haven’t covered hospitality here on my podcast since episode #5! So it’s time to do a mini-series on hospitality.  Listen to the Podcast: We also recorded this blog post as an audio podcast....

All Summer Jason and I went back and forth on an important decision: Do we start our oldest twins in Kindergarten this year?

It’s been mostly fun with a little crazy thrown in.  Throughout our trips, we’ve received question after question about how we manage it, what it’s like traveling with... Read More

I always love the beginning of Summer. The open schedule, the opportunities, the promise of lots of time spent outside. Maybe a trip to the lake, lots of trips to the park for fun in the sun.  But as we get farther into Summer, I find myself starting to crave the Fall. Mostly it’s because Fall... Read More

With five kids, four and under there is one question I get asked over and over again: How do you work around the house with little ones underfoot?
