Parenting Vs Podcast

We're not really moving to Staten Island, but it might not be so bad. The hot weather, pandemic life, working from home, and online school has brought us down. 

In this episode, we get into the nitty gritty of mental health, our opinions on faith and how it relates to politics, and we discuss the frustrations of doing online school with our kids while just trying to maintain.

We don't mince words in this episode. Well, I'm not sure if we ever mince words. In this one we go into our faith, BLM, Trump, the evangelical church, anti-maskers, and local megachurch pastor Steve Smotherman. 
We brought up the Albuquerque journal article about the impact of sending our kids to school. You can find that here.

We spent some time in Santa Fe to get our minds off Portland for a bit.

Well, um, either way, I'm glad when we have those times when we don't have to worry, or think about this darn virus, this covid 19. This weekend we booked a New Mexico getaway and it was amazing. We talked about that. We talked about MLMs. We talked about what the beginnings of our summer look like.

Being home has allowed us to really appreciate nature. We talk about our feelings, nature, birds, kids, and Mother's Day.

It's good to just sit with your parent and reflect. I think that's one thing a lot of couples don't do...reflect. It feels so energizing to our relationship when we can be honest with how we feel, share our goals, our desires, our everything, without the fear of being judged, or not heard. Also, it's good to just sit down and talk about bird facts. We do some of that in this episode.

I hope we're getting better at marriage. I hope we've learned how to respond to each other how we need to be responded to. I hope we can be nurturing parents to our kids.

Thank you for listening!

Hi everyone! It's hard not to talk about our new lifestyles with COVID-19, so in this one we do just that. We sit down with Ryan Freeman from What's Up ABQ and chat how we're adjusting to a new lifestyle. We also chat about how our community is adjusting, and how humans can do so much good when we're in crisis.

Isolation days bring ups and downs. It brought Lindsey to bead. Yeah, she's making "hope strands". There's hope. We won't be stuck in the house for much longer, we hope. Well, maybe that's wishful thinking.

Isolation does some...interesting things to people. We've had to take into account *gasp* each other's feelings, thoughts, and wishes. Well, in marriage its good practice to do anyway. I'm hoping all this has just allowed us to work those muscles that we need to have a solid marriage. 

Either way, thanks for being on this journey with us. Thank you for the grace you give to us as you listen. We hope our, um, imperfections bring you comfort to know that there are other people who deal with issues. And if we seem really messed up to you, then you're right, we are. And please email us your secret for having it all figured out. Heck, tweet it. 

By the way, Lindsey scores high as an enneagram 4, and Lorenzo scores high as an enneagram 9. 

This one is all over the place. So, thanks or listening.

Finding a new normal. Many people are experiencing this new reality. It's interesting to me how important our routine is to us. Even the youngest of us realize when routine is thrown off. This week we're over the freak out of realizing there's a deadly disease permeating the globe, and we're ready to do what we need to do to limit the spread, and balance contenting life at the same time.

Emotions are weird right now, and I think this comes though on the podcast. We ask for grace as you listen. Both of us have had moments of being critical, judgmental, frustrated, etc. We're learning how to give grace, receive grace, and continue on. This too shall pass. Right?

We hope you're well.

Sorry if we missed anything. Enjoy!

The global pandemic COVID-19 has taken us by surprise and we've all had to build the plane as we're flying, as the saying goes. Parents across the country are having to learn how to balance working from home while keeping their kids entertained and educated. It's hard, but we have found that there have been some unexpected lessons that parents are learning.

We hope this podcast episode finds you healthy as we weather this storm together.

It's our anniversary. 11 years of marriage. In this episode we talk about how we're dealing with the global pandemic that is COVID-19 while still celebrating each other. And what do you do during your anniversary during a pandemic? Luckily in New Mexico there are lots of open spaces where it's easy to isolate. We visited Mogollon, NM, a ghost town, and drove down dusty roads near Silver City, NM.
