Blended, Blessed & Always A Mess

We would love to hear from you!!!

From Aric:
It's been brought to my attention by Angie and my boss that I'm holding on too tight...You know when you hold an egg too tight you break it?  Or squeeze a baby bird too tight you hurt it?

That's what is happening with me right now. My insides are SUPER off and it's causing extreme anxiousness and I'm holding on too tight in everything I do to avoid more loss (which inadvertently leads to more loss usually).

So with Angie out of town with Sommer at soccer, I recorded an episode SOLO to share where I'm at...

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening!

Love,
Aric and Angie

Ever heard of a  "God Wink"? We share what that means and one that we experienced this week!

Any parents out there ready for their precious children to head back to school?  We are!!! Mainly because our kids are not using their brains (no names mentioned) and have left us scratching our heads 🤷‍♀️ many times this summer. We share a few stories on this episode.

Grateful for all the teachers out there!!! God bless you!

Thanks for listening!

New stories are being written for many Crew Members including Phoenix (Hallie's bucket list foal).

It was time to move Phoenix to her new home and of course we experienced all the feels. First excitement because she's weaned from her mom and all ours!  But heavy because I know Hal would have been so pumped and I would have watched from the sidelines if she was still with us. Instead, we are rolling up our sleeves and making it happen while Hal watches us from the sidelines. 💔

We also continue to learn just how much we need Jesus to write new stories in a book full of torn pages.

As always, thanks for listening,
Love,
Aric & Angie

It feels like the Devil has been coming at us a LOT lately...

We both believe that happens when the Devil knows you are close to breaking thru and shining Jesus's light brighter into this dark world!

In this episode we talk about how we use Jesus, friends and our Faith to "Fight Our Battles"...

Thanks for listening,

So many times we think this must be some horrible dream. Please be a dream that we wake up from!!! 🥺 Then there are times we dream of Hallie and we DON'T want to wake up from it. Sommer was starting to worry that Hallie was maybe mad at her because so many other people had dreams with Hallie in them.  Eight months into this nightmare, she was still waiting.

FINALLY!!! Sommer had an amazing dream with Hallie! Even though Sommer would rather be shopping than be a guest on a podcast, this was something she was definitely willing to hop on with us and share. 

Thanks for listening,
Love, Aric & Angie

First, we apologize for we did not drop an episode last week. We had big plans to record one on vacation but the big guy upstairs had other plans.

Speaking of vacation, it was NOT a vacation. We had a very hard week. In this week's episode, we share the MANY different events that occurred and how we HAD TO CLING to our faith or we wouldn't have made it through.  Please note, we are asking God to give us a little break.

Thanks for Listening and God Bless!

Love,
Aric & Angie

You might remember about a year ago our friend and licensed therapist Lynn Roush joined us for a two-part series on blending families...

Since that time Lynn and her colleagues have started their own Podcast called "With You in the Weeds"...

A few weeks ago Lynn invited Angie to partake in a series about Narcissists and they did an episode about Relationship Red Flags that you won't want to miss because Angie details the Red Flags our family has seen firsthand. Lynn talks thru the steps narcissistic take to devalue their target from a Christian counseling perspective!

We would love to hear from you!!!

In the last week, Angie took the twins on one of Hallie's "Bucket List" trips to see their cousin's in New York...

But coming home was a complete mess!!!

However...due to the perspective we've gained losing Hallie it wasn't hard for Angie to realize "I've Had Worse Days"...

In this episode, we explain how the grief journey helps keep things in perspective...

Thanks for listening,
Love, Aric & Angie

Warning: If you are looking for a pick-me-up, this episode is not for you.

Some days we can fight the fight and other days the grief is so heavy to carry.  THIS CAN'T BE FIXED. As much as we try, there is no solution, Our home has been in a state of INCREDIBLE SADNESS (more than normal) for the last several weeks. It's been rough for all of us.

We decided to free-flow this convo and share the raw challenges of navigating loss.  No script was written.

As always, thanks for listening, If you have a few minutes, please rate and comment on our podcast.

Love,
Aric & Angie
