Today we're talking all about how we feed our gaggle of children! We discuss everything from how we grocery shop and meal plan to sharing what typical meals are for our family. We also touch on how we try to instill healthy eating habits in our children and things we have done to foster healthier food selection in our home.

Please leave a comment with any good meal ideas or hacks you have for feeding young children or a big family! We always love new ideas!

What is the criteria to be considered a "big family"? We will answer this question along with other questions about how we handle clothing and storing all the clothes for the kids, the endless piles of laundry and how we divide and conquer household tasks on a daily basis!

We get personal in this episode as we process the challenges in raising our "difficult" child. We will discuss medical themes, like ADHD and PANS/PANDAS and how they relate to our story. We are not providing medical advice but rather sharing how Jason's healing journey is going and what we have learned, so far. We hope that someone out there who may be struggling in a similar way can find some support in this episode and know that all our love and prayers are with you as you raise your harder children. We are on the road to sainthood, friends! Hang in there and remember God chose you as their parents for a reason!

In this episode we will discuss how our marriage has changed since becoming parents and how to navigate potential conflicts surrounding different parenting and discipline styles. We also touch on date nights and speaking each other's love language.

In this episode, we share our advice for any parents out there who are on the fence about having more children. We also share what we believe to be the hardest parts of being parents and our favorite parts of being parents.

In this episode, we will dive deep into our childhoods where our core beliefs on parenting first began. We discuss how our inner child shapes the parents we strive to be today.

Welcome to our first episode of Busy and Blessed! We are so excited to start this journey of sharing our crazy life and commiserating with all the exhausted, burnt-out, overstimulated parents out there. In this episode, we introduce ourselves, our family, and what is to come in our podcast. We will also answer our most frequently asked question: Why do we have so many kids?!

Please join us if you are looking for your people who embrace a messy house, are trying to find calm in the chaos, and who are most certainly surviving, not thriving!
