Marriage is whack

Make A Happy Home

Hey there! In this episode we get real about marriage, love, family, and creativity.
We share some personal stories about growing up and how it's shaped our outlook on life. We even talk about this awesome cabin we visited down in southern Indiana and reminisce about some crazy family gatherings.
We also talk about the importance of being hands-on and trying new things, even if it's scary at first. Throughout the episode, we chat about how we express our creativity in different ways and how it's brought us closer together as a couple. Overall, it's just a candid and heartfelt conversation about life's ups and downs, finding, and making, happiness along the way.
