Parenting in Progress

Happy Father’s Day! This week, Korey and Jordynn bring you a packed summer update. We’re officially declaring Karlee an "HP (High Precipitation) Monster" as she fearlessly conquers the splash pad and makes a triumphant, tear-free return to toddler swim lessons. Plus, we detail the highly strategic mission of sneaking real butter into the local theater's summer movie series. Grab your reusable water balloons and dive in!

We're trading the high chair for a booster seat and hitting the road to Colorado! In this episode, we break down our toddler road-trip survival plan, how we're bracing for the dreaded time change, and Karlee's latest hilarious (and slightly creepy) nighttime habits.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the epic Walmart tantrum that tested every bit of our patience. From the battle of the toy aisle to dealing with those "it only gets worse" comments from total strangers, we're diving deep into the reality of surviving the Terrible Twos. Whether you've been there or you're currently in the trenches, this story is for every parent who's ever had to carry a flailing toddler out of a store.

The binky is history and the "Two Groovy" era has begun! This week, we’re recapping Karlee’s successful pacifier transition and prepping for her big 2nd birthday. Between her new restaurant ordering skills and mastering the cold snow, it’s been a week of big milestones and even bigger gifts, from basketball hoops to Ms. Rachel bath toys.

We finally did it—a night away! In this episode, we recap the success of the first grandparent sleepover (and our obsession with the nursery thermostat). But as the second birthday looms, the "Two-nado" is touching down. We discuss using the "First/Then" strategy to survive tantrums, the humbling reality of public parenting, and why putting your toddler to bed later might actually be the reason they’re waking up earlier.

Welcome to 2026! In our first episode of the new year, we’re checking in on our resolutions—and the reality of keeping them. From Jordan’s commitment to Bible study and functional fitness to Corey’s quest for a morning workout "regiment" We’re diving into how we plan to grow this year.

Amazon boxes are arriving daily, the bank account is feeling the pinch, and the "Christmas Eve Build" is looming! Join us as we talk about Karlee’s new kitchen set, our "Elf on the Shelf" fail, and the mystery of why we have zero presents under the tree just five days before the big day.

This week, we recap a whirlwind Thanksgiving weekend packed with cousins, cold weather, and constant pivots. From Karlee crashing holiday parties on her own schedule to scoring Chamber Bucks at the Snowball Drop, we cover all the festive chaos. There’s Santa hesitation, mini-cart mayhem, wreath-making struggles, and a full-on holiday hangover to finish it off. Grab a cozy drink—this is the episode where every plan became Plan C, and the toddlers still won.
