No Gifts (please)

It's time to save for college! How do we know? Because regardless how old your kids are or how much you have saved, if you haven't already started, now is te best time. Steve and Jenny sit down with Martha Kortiak Mert COO of Saving for College to discuss 529 plans and the expanded ways in which you can spend the money you save.

Steve and Jenny engage Dr Lee Spencer and Fritz Deichert from CARE Dallas to discuss the life-saving work they do in providing essential addiction resources to individuals and families in North Dallas and The Park Cities specifically. You'll hear the terrifying details of how Narcan is already being used to save lives in our community and how to identify the signs of early addiction in your kids.

Steve and Jenny are back after a summer off to catch up as they continue to preview season 3 of No Gifts (please). Steve, fresh off a dinner birthday party with mom/dad couples had a few questions about how people split up come meal time.

Steve & Jenny are back from summer break to preview the new season. Join them as they catch up about their time off and look ahead to a season which is now officially underway.

It's the start of the summer and that means its the end of season two! We look back at some of our favorite moments and look ahead to what's to come in season three. Thank you for your support and your feedback. You have made this incredibly enjoyable!

It's one of the most important episodes we've done because we've all been there. Missing life's greatest moments because we're face-down in our phone. Or maybe you've heard the sound of your kid say "you're always on your phone". We are so lucky to have Joey Odom on the show this week. He looks at our cultural problem and the solution he says has worked for him. It's one of those episodes that will have you taking action today!

Well it was bound to happen. Our kids have caught on to our signature "No Gifts Please" policy. Steve and Jenny discuss Jenny's oldest daughters reaction to learning her party is a "no gifts" party. Plus Steve's boys are growing up and asking to be treated like "big boys" much to the pain of his breaking heart.

You want to be honest with your kids about history and the ways of the world but what happens when they're asking about things that are way too heavy. From Jenny's daughter asking about the Holocaust, to Steve's son asking about pink ribbons to show support for the family of a local 3rd grader who was killed in a car crash, we try to navigate the best we can.

No high pressure sales, no sifting through add-ons... Steve and Jenny take you straight to the source this week to buy your next family car. They welcome Charlie Evans, Owner/Operator of Vangdergriff Toyota, Acura and Honda in a nothing-is-off-limits conversation about car buying. You'll learn about how much you should pay, how you can save and what your used car is really worth. Find out more at https://www.vandergrifftoyota.com

Steve and Jenny are talking about discipline. When the kids start fighting are you the type to step in and settle things for them? Maybe it's time to let it play out and see who kicks the $hit out of the other one first. With kids 6 years apart, Jenny gets to skip this unpleasantry of parenting (so far) but will it last?
