We talk about understanding homeopathy, best practices, remedies for seasonal sickness, and so much more. This conversation is a wealth of information that we hope encourages you and your fam...

From start to finish, we are sharing the birth story of our 4th baby, Mirabella! Our perspective on birth has evolved over the years (and births). Every time we share our birth stories, we hope they might offer insight and encouragement to parents or parents-to-be as they explore different birthing options, and ultimately discern what’s best for them. We are excited to share things we have experienced, spiritual lessons we have learned, and how this birth experience bonded our family in a new wa...

Has our parenting philosophy changed over the last 7 years of having multiple kids? Absolutely. Because the truth is that as we grow + change our family, our perspective grows + changes alongside of it. And in today’s episode, we are talking all about those changes as we share what our experience has been from no kids to one kid, to now having four kids. Some of the perspectives that we have changed are around topics like vaccines, birth choices, sharing the bed, managing screen time, discipline...

We just celebrated TEN years of marriage! ♥️ A decade of marriage has taught us a lot – from being on the same team, being students of one another, the umbrella of honesty, traditions, unhindered time, and so much more. We are sharing TEN key principles we feel we have intentionally committed to over the last TEN years that continue to be the cord that unifies our marriage. Cheers to a decade down and many decades to come 🥂 Links to anything we mentioned: The Marriage Journal Memories of Us The...

We are SO excited for this conversation with Brian Richards, the CEO of Sauna Space! He is going to navigate us through understanding the benefits of red light therapy, the effects of infrared sauna, and the importance of detoxification + grounding.

Your gut health affects your overall health. And when you struggle with chronic illness, it is easy to think “Well I am sick so I am just going to be sick.” But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are things you can do to make yourself the healthiest you can be, even in your state of sickness. Many people don’t know this, but Audrey has struggled with chronic sickness for many years - and she has gone through traditional health care + holistic health care circuits to figure out what is going o...

How do you get your kids to eat like that?! 😅 We are constantly asked about our eating habits – from what we eat in a day, what we buy, how we food prep, what we feed our kids, and what healthy snacks we feed our kids – and in this episode we are going to share all about that (and more). Name one thing that is worth achieving that takes zero effort. Nothing. It doesn’t just magically happen, just like being healthy doesn’t just happen. It takes effort and it is usually the harder choice. It tak...

“What was it really like growing up on reality TV?” 🤔 You guys asked, so Jeremy is going to answer!! We’ve pulled the most-asked questions about his experience on Little People Big World + being raised on TV – from how it all started, handling public scrutiny, the impact reality TV had on his family dynamics, what he is most grateful for, and so much more. ♥️ We want to say THANK YOU to each of you for listening to every episode and being part of our journey. To show our gratitude, we want to g...

“How do you plan to give birth this time around?” 🤔 We are a few months away from giving birth to baby #4!! And most of the questions we are asked center around how we plan to bring this little one into the world. We have been through the birthing experience a few times now – from hospital births to giving birth at a birthing center. As our faith has evolved over the years, so has our perspective on childbirth + parenting. ♥️ So, let’s talk about it! We are going to share our different birth ex...

We are *hopefully* coming to the finish line of our home renovation … and that is largely to due the fact that we are less than 3 months from having baby #4. So we realllyyyy would like to have the home + baby finish line aligned. So this episode is a raw + vulnerable BTS look at our home renovation. We don’t ever want to shield the reality of our life and the challenges we face, especially if we think it could help others walking through the same or similar things. So we are inviting you into t...

Why do you practice Sabbath? How do you do it with little kids? 🤔 If you have followed us since before we had kids, you know Sabbath is a big part of our values + something we talk about often. It’s a practice we align with + since having kids, it has evolved but the goal remains the same: to return to the present moment. Sabbath isn’t a cool idea. It is a necessity and a natural law of reality. We need it! Yes, it is a choice, but if you want to be healthy + aligned with how God created you, y...

Health is not any isolated thing – it is intertwined with all aspects of life. That is why we believe health should be holistic; your mind, your body, your spirit. They’re all connected and one affects the other. What does your health journey look like? 💪🧠 ✝️ A few episodes back we did a 2-part deep dive into our holistic health journey. You guys loved those conversations and had some GOOD questions! So we are back for a part 3 … to answer some of those questions! 👏 If you haven’t listened to...

What does identity really mean? How do I discover it? How do I walk in it? Identity is an eternal journey discovering what God did when God made me. The more you walk with Him the deeper you understand yourself, and the more you love your neighbor. When your job, your role, or your responsibilities become more important than your identity, you lose yourself. So how do you stay connected to who God made you? “Identity is not the name of our religion.” - Jamie Winship joins us for a conversation a...

We are back with Part of this Holistic Health conversation – and if you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, do that first! 🎧 Over the last 5+ years we’ve been on a health journey (and we have become incredibly passionate about it). The biggest thing we have learned is that our human bodies can be more aligned with the Creator – true health is to be completely harmonized with God. 👏 Last week we shared our high-level approach to holistic living. This week, we are getting super practical as we share...

If you follow us on social media, then you know we share about the holistic changes we’ve made over the last few years – what we’ve done, why we’ve done it, and why we believe those changes matter. 💌 But more so … this is something we believe has become a necessity for holiness. ❤️ The mind, body, and spirit relationship is symbiotic. And truthfully, you are limited to the health in any one category by the health of all 3 categories 🤯 What started as a curiosity has become a lifestyle for our ...

Happy New Year!! ✨ The holiday season was FULL of movement for us. We spent Christmas at Roloff Farm (in the home where Jeremy had Christmas every year growing up!) then went to our cabin in Spring River before heading back to our temporary home with Audrey’s family. 🫠 We’ve lived out of luggage for the last two weeks, and there is a reality to it that social media just doesn’t paint! So, we want to share some BTS of our experience over the last few weeks. BUT more so, Jeremy faced his “dragons...

You say the word “Santa” and it brings up a diverse perspective of experiences, memories, word maps, and pictures. 🎄So let’s talk about this – because for us, we used to sit on side of the Santa-camp and now we find ourselves moving towards the other side. Like many things in parenting, Santa is something we’ve changed our minds on. Simply said, we are allowing Santa in our home (+ it means something different than “doing” Santa to us). We are all about protecting our kids’ childhood and allowi...

You guys have probably seen or heard us talk about 1,000 hours outside on our social media. For the last 3 years we have been trying to complete our 1,000 hours outside as a family. We are SO close to finally hitting our goal this year – which is super exciting! 🥳 We asked Ginny Yurich (the mind behind 1,000 Hours Outside) to join us for this conversion to talk about the importance of being outside for our kids, our family, and for nature. Our kids get one childhood and how we fill the days are...

What are things you value as a family? ♥️ If you have been following us for a while, you know family values are a big part of what we talk about. For our family, the values we’ve built unite us and ground us – keep us centered and tethered to reality. We know that creating family values can feel overwhelming + daunting. You may feel like you have to instill all those values all the time. You may be thinking: how do I actually implement those values with my family? As we talk about our family val...

We’re pregnant with baby #4! 🥳 So we thought this was the perfect episode to talk about expanding our family, how our parenting has evolved, what we’re excited (and nervous) about with baby #4, and so much more. When it comes to parenting, we all want a formula but there is no right-one-way to do it. That just doesn’t exist. Every kid, every family, and every season is different. And we have transitioned into a specific way of thinking that has released us from the pressure of being the perfect...

Did you know we are remodeling our home? 😜 If you didn’t it’s ok! We haven’t done the best job sharing about it online. Renovating our home means we’ve moved in with family. It’s us, our kids, and Audrey’s parents navigating life, homeschooling, work, and the renovation. And it has been quite overwhelming! 🥴 A big question we are getting about all this is … “how is it living with your parents?” That question typically comes with the expectation of a negative answer. But honestly, for us, it ha...

We get A LOT of questions about how we came to the decision to homeschool our kids.

Our goal in this conversation is to share our personal schooling experiences, talk about parenting and our thoughts on raising kids, and how homeschooling fits into all of it. So, let’s talk about homeschooling! ♥️ PS - Memories...

Let’s talk about church ⛪ We have experienced many versions of the Christian church, and have openly shared them over the years. In our culture right now, there is a lot of sentiment around church; from church hurt, to frustrations, to people leaving church and not attending anymore. Over the last few years, we have found ourselves wrestling with the gap of what church should be like and what church is actually like. It has been a journey but we are landing on solid ground. 🥾 Our hope is that t...

But allowing the Spirit to move and shift them has led us to better plans than we could have expected, even if sometimes it has been challenging. Our marriage identity has been formed, and as we share our journey with you, we hope it inspires YOU to establish a marriage identity of your own. We are diving into running the Helvetia Half Mara...
