Parenting Vs. Podcast

Podcasting is hard—it’s especially hard with kids around. We parent, discuss life, social topics, and the world around us—all while trying to keep our 3 kids busy, which never happens.

Adjusting to COVID-19 with Ryan Freeman from What's Up ABQ

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.

Enjoy this co-broadcast with What's Up ABQ podcast, and make sure to subscribe to What's Up ABQ podcast to hear more of Lindsey and Ryan talking to the fine folks of Albuquerque about their passions.

Garage Sitting

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 Our New Normal

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.
