February 07, 2015 MP 005: Preparing your Tween (and yourself!) for Adolescence
The changes that happens in adolescence - physically, emotionally, mentally- are very similar to the changes that happen during the toddler years. In both stages your child is developing in leaps and bounds and you are the one God has tasked to guide them. In this podcast, we share some of our ideas and what we have done with our children to create rites of passage, give information when they need it, and helping them solidify their gender identity. This is a crucial time in the lives of our children and its important to be intentional and have a plan of how you are going to help them and love them during this time. This is geared especially for parents with kids in the "tween" and early teen years, 11-14.

“There goes a future choir member!” said by our pastor as we rushed out of the church building with our screaming toddler. Getting kids through Mass is a challenge for any Catholic parent. We can give you a lot of empathy and some tips as well. Listen in!

January 18, 2015 MP 002: When Kids Fight
"Parents don't want justice- parents want peace!" Isn't that how we all feel sometimes? We do want peace in our homes, but we also want to teach our kids how to handle conflict. Kids are going to fight. Its a fact. How do we deal with that?

January 11, 2015 MP 001 : Parenting as a path to heaven
This is our very first podcast, and in it, we begin a conversation on marriage and parenting. It’s not just our conversation, because ultimately we want it to become YOUR conversation, a conversation between you and your spouse! This inaugural podcast demonstrates our basic approach to marriage, our parenting philosophy, and overall approach to family life. We don’t claim to be experts: we just talk a lot! 😀 We tell the story of how reading parenting books can be helpful, but if they drive a wedge between spouses, it’s not worth it~! We can sum up our philosophy as: marriage and parenting is our path to heaven. Your marriage, not your children, should be the center of your family. That’s where God will give you the grace to parent. So join the conversation!
