Hallie & Lexi: Learning Their Why Oct 30, 2022

Show notes

A few weeks back we shared the Enneagram test on the podcast and our results to better communicate with each other...
We've thought it would be really cool if our kids took the test so we could also better interact with them...
So...Hallie and Lexi volunteered and in this episode the girls have a LOT of fun sharing what they've learned...
We all really believe this test could be VERY beneficial in EVERY family setting...Blended or Traditional!
We hope you enjoy!
Love,

Empathy vs Toxic Positivity Oct 16, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

Empathy is hard...why?
Because it means we are sometimes swallowing our pride and removing selfish tendencies to realize that other people are going thru hard things too...
With 6 kids and crazy jobs remembering why empathy is important is crucial to staying on the right track!
We hope you can relate!
Love,

In this week's episode of Blended, Blessed and Always a Mess we visit with our best friends Adam and Amber Addison...
They too have a Blended Family and it hasn't always been easy...at times it's even been a little tornadic to steal a phrase from Adam...
We love to celebrate success stories! Their hard work battled the turmoil and came out on the other side!

Let's Huddle Up Oct 02, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

We are super excited to dive deeper into what it means to create a Blended Family "Huddle".
Angie helped put on an amazing women's event last week called Grit with Grace. The goal was to create a sense of connection and community for her customer base. It just so happened that the guest speaker, Brooke Baldwin, wrote a book called "Huddle" geared towards creating a community for women. The theme really hit home in so many ways.
We want to apply that concept to our blended family community! Will you join us?!?!
We hope you enjoy this week's episode!
Love,
Aric & Angie

3 Years: Time to Reflect Sep 25, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

In this week's episode we celebrate our 3rd anniversary of "becoming friends" on Facebook...
To reflect on that we did an exercise that we think would benefit any couple...we reflected on three things that we love about the other person and then three things that we've brought into the other person's life...
It definitely made us appreciate each other!
Hope you enjoy the exercise and getting to know us better!
Love,
Aric & Angie

Check Up From The Neck Up Sep 18, 2022

Show notes

We would love to hear from you!!!

No one has it 100% together all of the time...and we realized our communication has dipped the last several weeks...
So...rather than build up walls and shut each other out we decided to dig our heels in and do some work...a little "Check Up from the Neck Up" if you will...
We each took the Enneagram personality test to better figure out how to communicate and be there for each other! This is a great tool that you can use in your relationships too! With your significant other, kids, friends or co-workers!
Enjoy!
Love,
Aric & Angie
