Hard to believe but we are less than 3 weeks away from Thanksgiving and less than 8 weeks from Christmas...

The Holidays are hard no matter what...divorced or not...they are stressful!

We decided to share some tips on things that work for us to help you cope and get thru the Holidays!

Hopefully you have a wonderful Holiday Season!

We would love to hear from you!!!

A few weeks back we shared the Enneagram test on the podcast and our results to better communicate with each other...

We've thought it would be really cool if our kids took the test so we could also better interact with them...

So...Hallie and Lexi volunteered and in this episode the girls have a LOT of fun sharing what they've learned...

We all really believe this test could be VERY beneficial in EVERY family setting...Blended or Traditional!

We hope you enjoy!

What in the world is Mini Husband-Wife Syndrome?  And is it happening in your home and you don't even realize it?!

We read an article about Mini Husband/Mini Wife Syndrome and were immediately aware we needed to tackle the topic in this week's episode!

It should hopefully bring some awareness to the topic if you are dealing with it at home and some ways to intentionally work thru it!

We hope you Enjoy!

Empathy is hard...why?

Because it means we are sometimes swallowing our pride and removing selfish tendencies to realize that other people are going thru hard things too...

With 6 kids and crazy jobs remembering why empathy is important is crucial to staying on the right track!

We hope you can relate!

In this week's episode of Blended, Blessed and Always a Mess we visit with our best friends Adam and Amber Addison...

They too have a Blended Family and it hasn't always been easy...at times it's even been a little tornadic to steal a phrase from Adam...

We love to celebrate success stories! Their hard work battled the turmoil and came out on the other side!

We hope you enjoy their story!

We are super excited to dive deeper into what it means to create a Blended Family "Huddle".

Angie helped put on an amazing women's event last week called Grit with Grace. The goal was to create a sense of connection and community for her customer base. It just so happened that the guest speaker, Brooke Baldwin, wrote a book called "Huddle" geared towards creating a community for women. The theme really hit home in so many ways. 

We want to apply that concept to our blended family community!  Will you join us?!?!

We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

In this week's episode we celebrate our 3rd anniversary of "becoming friends" on Facebook...

To reflect on that we did an exercise that we think would benefit any couple...we reflected on three things that we love about the other person and then three things that we've brought into the other person's life...

It definitely made us appreciate each other!

Hope you enjoy the exercise and getting to know us better!

No one has it 100% together all of the time...and we realized our communication has dipped the last several weeks...

So...rather than build up walls and shut each other out we decided to dig our heels in and do some work...a little "Check Up from the Neck Up" if you will...

We each took the Enneagram personality test to better figure out how to communicate and be there for each other!  This is a great tool that you can use in your relationships too!  With your significant other, kids, friends or co-workers!

Enjoy!

We get asked A LOT...how do you co-parent with your ex's? Let's be honest...it's definitely a different kind of challenge for everyone...

Overall we believe that we have a positive co-parenting relationship with all parties. In this episode, we share our do's and don'ts that we try to follow.

Hopefully it can help you in your current situation! Thanks for listening!
