Welcome back to Couple Things.
With Sean and Andrew now.
It's good to be back.It's a consistent theme.Every time we've ever done a live stream, there has been technical difficulties, and I'm glad that the problem isn't just me.It's maybe why I'm smirking.You looked adorable.
Also, I don't know what you got going on, but your fashion game is, like, next level all of a sudden.What's the deal with that?
Trying to take it up a notch, baby.
When did this start, what inspired it?Because it's like, here I am, Joe Schmo Schmuck, just wearing, I don't even think these things are supposed to be worn with nothing underneath, but I wear it with nothing underneath.
But you did.The thing is, my women's group, it's a challenge we all had to each other.
Really?Yeah.That's what started it, is that right?
Why are you smirking now?
Because I'm just succeeding.
I don't have a great little stretch here.Oh my gosh.We went to a cousin's wedding.It was a blast and Indy.Oh my gosh.That was the most fun.Like at a wedding dance party on the dance floor that I've had with you in a long time.
Same because you've been pregnant every other time.
And this was a lot of fun, especially with family.I felt like we could just be weird.
We got a freaking great family.You kidding me?My cousins.
And I'm really happy you had so much fun in Montana.
I'm glad that the crazy part of our year is over, I think.
Yeah.Now we go to the holidays.
Oh, yeah.Well, it's great.The travel craziness has subsided. We're taking one more trip to Tijuana.And then the holiday craziness will begin.Anyway, today we're gonna do an Ask Me Anything part two.It's an extension.
Because we asked you guys to ask questions that we were going to answer for my solo show, but you know what you did?You asked questions to Andrew, which was really funny and cute.So we're gonna answer all those for you.
Is that what these are?These are like curated from so you post on Instagram.People ask questions.Yes.And then here we are.Shout out to Jenny for making this episode happen.Shout out to you all for submitting the questions.
And we yeah, we just really appreciate the people that chose to spend time participating in this.
If you're not following along, follow Sean and Andrew Pods, that is so long, on Instagram and subscribe to our newsletter.Our newsletter has basically everything that's going on in our life that we haven't already told you about on socials.
But it also has discounts, giveaways, a bunch of things that we don't have room for everywhere else.
We've been making content, as they say, for nine years.That's a long time.It's ebbed and flowed.We were heavy on the YouTube for a while, been heavy on short form for a while.Newsletter is what we're really excited about.
It's like a, just a, it's a different way to interact it feels like.
And you gave a shout out on the newsletter last week and there's a bunch of people in the comments that were excited about it.So anyway, keep an eye out.It comes out every week.
You ready for these hard-hitting questions?
Okay babe, ready?How do we manage the overstimulation of having little ones?I have only two and I struggle with this.
In Montana last week, I had the opportunity, there was people there, men, in their teens, twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties, and seventies.Wow.It was really fascinating to see the range of ages.
And I was, uh, like our fishing guide, we were out there fishing, which I do not classify myself as a fisher, though I did enjoy it.He was 19 and he was talking about how busy his life is, you know?
and how I feel like a little overwhelming, which this question was about overstimulation specifically, but I was like, what capacity do you think you're operating at?Not trying to belittle or whatever.
I was just curious with that feeling of a young kid.He was like, I think I'm at like 90% capacity.I'm almost full throttle.And it just, you know, now we have three kids. you age, you have more responsibilities thrown at you.
It's funny to look back and think about just the process of learning to deal with whatever.And it happens one day at a time.So yeah, one kid was over, no kids was overwhelming, kind of, you know,
One kid was overwhelming, two kids felt overwhelming, and three, I think it's just that overwhelmed feeling is just subsiding for us.And now we're like, oh, I think we were able to handle this.So now it's time to add something else on our plate.
We gotta keep that feeling of overwhelm going.Sean asked me, I love Nash, and that'll probably happen at some point, to be honest.
I would say overstimulation I feel like Andrew and I try to like tap each other out when it gets to be like I need a moment to like Calm down or destimulate Yeah, just trying to find outlets Yeah, yeah you answer that question way better than I did
We try to say, hey, why don't you take five minutes?Go lock yourself in a dark, quiet room.It tends to work.It works.Just you gotta take a breath every once in a while.All right, number two.What's a quality you wish you had?
Whoa, I like the question. I wish I was a planner.I have a friend, shout out Walker, who is an amazing planner.And he'll pull out his calendar and he'll say, hey, are you free six months from now on a Tuesday?And I'm like, this is amazing.
And you appreciate that type of planning.And I don't have an ounce of that in me.Which is also fine.The spontaneity is a quality some people wish they had.I just over index.What's a quality you wish you had?
I wish I could be as like, not a people pleaser.
I don't know how to say that.I was gonna say free, as you are.Like I think so much about what other people think.Sometimes I wish I could turn that off.
Well, you know what to say, ignorance is bliss.And I got plenty of both.All right, third.
That's not what I meant.OK, how have we started introducing faith to our kids?Christmas is my favorite time of the year, but shopping for everyone on my list can be really overwhelming.And to be honest, I have barely started.
But when I heard that Skims launched their holiday shop, I felt so much relief because that's going to be the perfect gift for so many people in my life this year. I absolutely love giving gifts.It's so fun for me.
And the Skims Holiday Shop branding is adorable, so you can basically gift it directly as you receive it, which makes it easy.The Fits Everybody Scoop Bralette is my favorite bralette ever.
The Skims Holiday Shop has them packaged in the cutest little boxes they make for easy stocking stuffers.Plus, the festive prints are super cute.Also, their Bits Everybody Cheeky Briefs are so comfy, you guys.
It's the perfect gift for a friend, sister, fellow mama, or even yourself. No joke, I'll be buying most of my mama friends Skims for Christmas because if you know, you know.The comfort is unmatched.Shop Skims Holiday Shop at Skims.com.

This show is sponsored by BetterHelp.This month is all about gratitude and someone I'm thankful for lately is you, baby.
Thank you for all you do for our family.
Thank you, babe.I'm thankful for you, too.It's always a good reminder this time of year to let the people in your life know that you're thankful for them.
I agree.Another thing I'm thankful for this year is therapy.What a game changer that's been for us.
Therapy really has been really great.I feel like we've both grown this year, and I'm glad we made that a priority.It's no joke having three kids, and I'm grateful for all the wisdom we've gained through therapy.
Me too, baby.If you're thinking of starting therapy, give BetterHelp a try.We couldn't recommend it more.It's so convenient and all online, which I love, especially with holiday travel and crazy work schedules coming up.
To get started, you just fill out a brief questionnaire to get matched with a licensed therapist, and you can switch therapists at any time for no additional charge to make sure it's a great match for you.
Let the gratitude flow with BetterHelp.Visit betterhelp.com slash eSFAM today to get 10% off your first month.
That's betterhelp, H-E-L-P dot com slash eSFAM.Um.We told you about Minnow on Instagram.It's like a platform with videos that are curated with that worldview.
We also send them to a faith-based preschool.
We also, in our personal habits, we read daily devotions every day.That's not necessarily explicit.
Yeah.I think we're more, at this point, trying to show them certain cadences. that we have and establish certain cases as a family, just so they know that that's like a part of the habits that we have.Um, and so far it's worked.It's fun.
Like they, they now have swapped out the prayer that we had recommended essentially for their own, that they learned at school.And so now we like, we try to keep it fun for them, try to have them have a say in it.
But right now I think it's just like showing them that there is a cadence and there is a thoughtfulness behind it.
I'd also say two things.I feel like around the two and a half, three year old mark, when it comes to sleeping, you start to see developmentally kids get fears.
Fears of the dark, fears of monsters, fears of, it's just normal for their developmental phase. I have used that as a really good place to introduce faith to my kids, to put their fear in a manageable place that God can fix, if that makes sense.
So at night, I'll tell them these elaborate stories of the armor that
God has put around their room or around them or you know I've had a lot of people say like nightmares or monsters you can get a spray bottle and put glitter in it and it's like spray dust well instead of doing that technique I used like the God story technique.
We take him to church every Sunday, and we've done a good job.We'll actually plan our travel around Sundays.We try to do that intentionally.
It feels like nothing spectacular or extraordinary as far as how we're introducing faith to him, but it's kind of constant.
The intensity is... mellow, but the consistency is constant.Anyway.
My favorite question, Drew's been learning a lot like in her children's Bible and Bible school at or Sunday school and then at school. And I always wear that cross that you got me.And I don't know if I told you this.
She asked me if that was the cross that Jesus died on.
Wow.I had a little more bling than Jesus.
And she's like, my mama, is that the cross?And I was like, this one?She was specific.Like, is that it?And I was like, no.
The books they read, recommend Laugh and Grow Bible is a great one or Jesus Storybook Bible.Anyway, so yeah, we read a bunch of good books like that.
Next up, what is our favorite part about the season we're currently in?
Gosh, the kids are just freaking amazing.Drew, the last two weeks since you took her to LA has been a different girl.
I also think it's her age and pre-K, her teacher, it's like, it's a full, whole circle thing developmentally.
Her teacher brought out a new side of her, it's amazing.Jet, this morning we were walking down the stairs and he hasn't done this since he was one and a half, but he's like, dad, can I hold your hand?That made my day.
That's been the best part of my day so far.And then Bear, that freaking guy, like he has this bashful, he'll like look at you and smile and then he'll like curl up and it's kind of like, he's being silly and playful.
His personality is starting to distinctly show itself and it's amazing.
I also think you and I, we just struggle historically as I look at the last three kids, the first six months. After pregnancy, it's like we're just doing the thing and there's a lot of tasks and we lose the joy and we're coming out of that season.
We've been giggling a lot, the freaking dance floor at the wedding.It's great.Um, and we have good friends that have now moved back to town, which is fantastic to have that community and life is good.
We don't know what's next.We don't know what's going to happen next, but we we can know that it's going to be good.You know, next.
What's something we would never guess about you guys?
Hmm.Do you want to do one for me and I do one for you?
Huh.This is a tough question.I feel like I have one around your
It was part of a conversation I had last night.Long, full story. The thing that something nobody would ever guess is the amount of times I get stopped on a daily basis or weekly basis or monthly basis.
And people are like, how do you come up with all this brilliant stuff that you post on social media and online and like the couples challenges and everything.And I just giggle to myself and I tell them, I'm like, I didn't come up with any of it.
It's literally the most creative mind in the world, which is my husband.
I guess I was going to do one that was probably a little more, uh, jestful.Go for it.Uh, but, but Sean is the most accomplished freaking person.Stop.Yeah.This turned into like a, I packed your bag, you pack mine.So we're going to freaking do it now.
All right. You're the most accomplished person I think I've ever met, legitimately, in so many different fields.
You freaking dominated the athletic world, you dominated the TV thing, you're dominating this world, you dominate them, like, you just crush life.But you do it, I think this comes across in the videos we make, but you do it so humbly.And you're like,
It's just crazy.I would not have that humility if I were as talented in life as you were.But my strategy, not to you ask, is underachieve, overconfidence.And it's fair.No, I like my style.
That's not your, oh my gosh.
Next up, next up.All right, what's, oh, how do you guys deal with resentment in your marriage if it ever creeps in deep?
Massive forgiveness.I think that's where we lean into our faith.Resentment leads nowhere good in marriage.Nowhere.And if you ever start feeling that, that's when you need to look at yourself and be like, okay, this is on me to fix in my heart.
That's interesting, because I don't want to say bottle it up, but I definitely feel like it should not be shared, because that type of stuff will eek and emanate.
If you share it with your best friend who's a yes man, and you're like, oh my gosh, Sean did this.And they'll be like, I can't believe she did that.And then it grows.
Resentment is deeper than that.Yeah.
It'll freaking like, It'll latch on.So I think, let's not bottle it up, but it's like, it is like, you better weed out, you better be freaking searching for the truth in whatever, and then you better share that with grace.
So it's like, you're not, I don't feel like you're holding up your end of the stick in whatever way.It's like, weed out any of the feelings of resentment.It's like, that's the style in which feedback is delivered.
and you should swap out the style of resentment for the style of teamwork and say, in order for us to be the best, I need to see this from you.
I agree, but I also don't agree.
Interesting.Sorry to challenge you.No, let's dig in.
Bottling it up means it's still there.It's not addressed.
This is what I said.I said weed out all the feelings of resentment so that you can share in a healthy way.
But I also think in a marriage, specifically, resentment is solely on you.That is emotions and issues you have not dealt with in your heart.
And I think that's, if you're talking in a marriage, hypothetically speaking, say there's issues that have happened, you guys have addressed them, you said sorry, you've moved on, but you still are harboring resentment, that means you're not honest in your forgiveness.
That means your forgiveness was like false.Because if you truly forgave your spouse, you would learn how to forgive and forget and move forward.Resentment is harboring issues.
Dang, you're like freaking slinging it today.
Well, I'm only thinking about this because I had to have this conversation with Drew yesterday.How something had happened last night where Jett tipped over her tower in Where did all the affordable, cool, cute kids' clothes go?
If you're having trouble finding something for your kid to wear that is both parent-approved and kid-approved, you need to check it out at one of our favorite brands, Posh Peanut.
Shonda does a great job at picking out clothes for the kids, and I can always tell when it's from Posh Peanut because their clothes are soft.
Yes, they are made from viscose from bamboo, so it stays soft after every wash.Their stuff is really high quality, four times stretchier than cotton, breathable, and chemical-free, which I love.
They also have designs our kids love.Drew loves the floral and princess options, and Jet has been a big Hot Wheels guy lately.
Oh, yes.Posh Peanut is made for infants and kids, but they also have sizing for moms and dads if you want the whole family to match, too.Maybe for Christmas pajamas this year?
If you're not a parent, consider this the perfect gift idea for any little one.
Posh Peanut is loved by over one million parents, and if Sean buys it, you know it's good.
Thanks, babe.Right now, Posh Peanut is offering our listeners 20% off your first order with promo code EASTFAM.

You guys already know that Sean and I are huge fans of AG1, and that's because this is a brand we've been using and loving for several years.
It's definitely part of our daily routine, and it's important to us that the supplements we take are of the highest quality, which is why we've been drinking AG1 for so long.
Unlike many supplement brands, AG1 is researched and developed by an in-house team of scientists, doctors, and nutritionists with decades of experience in their respective fields.
I know I can trust what's in every scoop of AG1 because it's tested for 950 contaminants and banned substances.Wow.The industry standard typically only tests for 10.What?Pretty crazy to think about.
That is.Taking care of our health shouldn't be complicated.And AG1 simplifies this by covering our nutritional bases and setting us up for success in just 60 seconds a day.
I love that AG1's ingredients are heavily researched for quality and every scoop also includes prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes for gut support.
Replace your multivitamin and more with AG1.Try AG1 and get a free one-year supply of vitamin D3, K2, and five free AG1 travel packs with your first subscription at drinkag1.com forward slash couple things.

She got really sad and they kind of worked it through and she said, like Jet said, I'm sorry.And she's like, I forgive you.And she just kept bringing it up.10 minutes would go by, 10 minutes would go by.And she'd say, I can't believe you did that.
Why'd you do that?Which was really interesting.And I was like, Drew, if you forgave him, you forgave him.But if you bring it up, you didn't forgive him.
Lessons from parenting. That's really good.I appreciate that.What's the worst pain you've both ever been in?I like this question.I'm kind of a meathead myself.There's been so much pain.I kind of like it.I think the 2K row I just did last week,
Got six minutes, 31 seconds, which is freaking just annoys me.Should've just broken six minutes and 30 seconds like a champ, but the pain that you feel.Oh, I read this about the Olympics.The 400-yard dash, they broke it down into four phases.
The last phase, they describe as the negotiation and the internal debate of the athlete to strive for the accomplishment or tap out because of the the desire to ease the pain.I like that.So that's why I like to work out kind of.
Interesting.So your biggest pain has been in working out?
No, I'm just I'm just going through lists.I almost died at the Grand Canyon when we hiked that down and up in one day in like six hours in the heat of the day.Would not recommend.That was, I think, nearly a heat stroke.
What have we been through pain together, like physical?
I mean, I gave birth three times.
Oh, okay, well, next question, you take the cake there.Thank you, all right, what's one of your favorite moments in your marriage?
That one.You know, it's interesting though, that, can I go back real quick?You interpreted that as physical pain.My immediate response was dad. That was the first thing that came to mind, was losing your dad.
Yeah, I don't, I don't view that necessarily as like pain.That's not the word I put on there.We did a whole, I lost my dad like 18 months ago.If you haven't been around here that long.Did a whole episode on the grief process.
Yeah.The emotional pain doesn't really, Yeah, no, there's been moments in our marriage where we've deeply hurt each other.
I feel that more as like a struggle though.
Okay.What's one of your favorite moments in your marriage?
So many.Gosh, marriage is really freaking fun to be honest.Dude, we've had 13 years of just stacking memories.I was scrolling through, what?
No, I just love you so much.
It's been a good ride so far.We got some history together, dude.We do.Oh, frick.I mean, I think about our first date.I was looking at you the other day and I was I was remembering like looking at you that first weekend we spent together.
It was like really special.Gosh. our wedding day, every time we've given birth to a child, watching, I mean, there's like a million little moments too, which is what is cool about marriage.It's like this morning you're cooking with all the kids.
That's amazing.And we were last night just talking about what the frick, how did we get, what happened?
We're literally sitting in the playroom and looking at all of our three kids playing and I was like, how did this happen?We have three children?We have three kids, you guys.
Just stack the days though, it's fun.
How about this?One of my favorite moments that I'll never forget.And it had nothing to do with the NFL.Let me say that to Lee.But watching you play your first in-season game for the NFL was such a special moment as a wife.
Like knowing everything you went through to get there emotionally, physically. knowing what it meant to you and what it didn't mean to you in like a weird way was so special.
Knowing like what I had gone through in my career and then being able to like sit there as nothing more than like your wife and your number one cheerleader.It was like a special moment.
The race car race that we did together, that was a fun moment.Oh my gosh. I was just looking at pictures of Vegas the other day.
Good job, baby.Okay.Camping.
Oh my gosh.The road trip one?Yeah.Oh, freaking sweet.What are a few traits your kids got from each of you?Drew has an amazing focus, which I think is maybe from both of us.I think we both have a really deep capacity for focus.
And Drew's meticulous, like me.
Jet has your zest of life.
But your physical build.That boy.
He's stacked.Sean, I remember when I first like hugged you.I never felt.It's like skin just layered on top of muscle.It's like a thick muscle.I don't know how to describe it other than that.Jet has that same thing.If you touch me, it's like squishy.
I don't know.It's just like the normal human.Sean is just muscle.
Jett is a brick.It actually doesn't make sense.You look at him and you're like, he's a big kid, strong kid, but you go to pick that kid up and he is a brick in the most cool way.
Jett has Andrew's zest and energy and passion and childlike just soul to him.
probably similar like social habits to me.
But he also has like your kind, like such your gentleness.Where he looks everybody directly in the eye at just turning three and he's like, my name is Jet, what is your name?Like he can make everyone feel seen.
I love that kid.Bear is like, I think he's gonna have your mischievousness.Yeah.I think he has my eye contact.
He is my, probably most of my build of any of our kids.Long and lanky.Not that I'm lanky.I'm more on the husky side for sure.
TBD on him, he has a freaking great smile, which is, oh his giggle is, I'm just saying it's like yours because it's my favorite thing.Both of those giggles.
I will also say Drew has my, Like initial skepticism, like you gotta work for it.You have to work to earn her, not trust, but like to get to see her.But then once you earn that, you got it.
And she might look like me most in the face.All right.How do you guys find time to slow down with all you have going on?We've gotten better at this.
Part of it is doing less and having less going on.Like the beginning of this year, we pruned a lot.We read a book called Necessary Endings by Henry Cloud, who we're actually going to have on.
Highly recommend you read it.
Yeah, we're going to have him and his wife on our interview show, Second Cut. And we just said, let's, what are the thing?There's a thing called the Pareto's principle, 80, 20, right?20% of your activities reap 80% of the benefits.
80% of your activities only have 20%.So how can we just focus on in this phase of life with young kids that we want to spend a lot of time with maximizing and honing in on that 20% that has 80% of the rewards.
So that's been a really interesting exercise.And then, yeah, we also spend quite a lot of time looking at support groups around us. How can we have a team help us achieve our mission?
And I think business, volunteering, living in a neighborhood house, whatever, the whole purpose of it, it's like, it's a wonderful canvas to build relationships through.And so it's not a game of how can we accumulate as much as possible or like,
achieve our odd goals solo.It's like, no, let's, um, let's build relationships, include other people in this and whatever it looks like.You do a great job of that with hospitality.
Uh, so it's like we, we try to, we spend a lot of time on, on the people around us too.
I think you said it perfectly.Um, we have 15 minutes and 15 questions.
Maybe we could do a live stream with another one of these.
We're good.I'm just saying, I think we can rapid fire some of these.
Wait, how do you slow down?No, you got to answer that.I like the back and forth.
I love your perspective.OK, how do I slow down? I think we do a really good job every Sunday of reflecting on how the week went and how the week is about to go.And we try to schedule in intentionality and time.
We will look at a day and be like, dang, that's too much.
Or because we have a day that we cannot weed out any more things, it is just going to be jam-packed, let's make sure the week around it can help rebalance those scales so that we have enough time with each other and we have enough time with our kids.
We also do the same exact thing for our children.We look at what they're doing and how they're acting and how they're feeling, even with school and like preschool and stuff.Every week we will have a day where like, you know what?
It's been too much for them and they don't need to go to preschool for the rest of the week.Or let's actually like go do a family activity.Let's take off work if we can.Like we're constantly trying to analyze where we're at.
I like that a lot.I think one thing we have gotten much better at is, uh, setting expectations so that, cause if you know, like, Hey, this is what we have going on every day this week, it feels way less rushed.
Cause you're, you're like primed for it.Right.I also think, um, we have implemented like a day of rest and we've done a much better job at that.So we really roll into the other six days, uh, with more juice.That's a concept that's ancient wisdom.
Also, there's all these people doing digital Sabbaths.Look at Silicon Valley gurus, they're all doing digital Sabbaths.So the idea of resting from something has helped us.And then I also do want to delineate, because we do stay pretty busy.
We read a book called The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.And I adhere to that as much as I can.I do want to differentiate between busyness and filling your schedule with things that you love.
And I think we have moved from the hectic craziness of like stumbling into one thing and saying yes to this spontaneously.I've done less of that. And more of like a great job.We have pretty rigid blocks of because of child care to that.
Hey, we can only get out of the house and like be away from the kids in this window.Let's fill it with things we want to.
That's not that's not busyness.And also Sean is just.Pretty ruthless when it comes to Like, you speak your mind, you're like, this is too much, and we'll nix it.We've had so many arguments about that, so.
Because we're trying to maintain a balance.
Those are my thoughts.What's your favorite thing to do for yourself?How do you fill your cup?Oh, this actually plays into the day of rest.Do you wanna read your stuff, your list?
Sean and I sat back and we wrote a list of the things we most love doing.I would recommend you do that too.
I was in my women's group.I absolutely love, I like working out.I like going outside for bike rides, like hanging with our kids, going to a new restaurant, having a cup of coffee by the fire, reading a book.Yeah, what about you?
Reconnecting with the people I'm close with, you, that's why I love date night, the conversations we have, friends, whatever, competing in anything I love.Learning. reading.Have you thought about a gift for yourself this year?
One that has the power to help you grow, learn, and become a better version of you?Give yourself the gift of language by getting Babbel.
Babbel has quick 10-minute lessons handcrafted by over 200 language experts, so they get you talking a new language in as little as three weeks.
I'm not gonna lie, I've been practicing my Spanish on Babbel and it really came in handy on the mission trip we took to Tijuana, Mexico a few weeks ago.
It was cool to be able to understand some of what the families were saying and also talk back to them instead of just using the translator.
You did a great job, babe.Something I think is really cool is that studies from Yale, Michigan State University, and other leading universities continue to prove Babbel works.
And one study found that using Babbel for 15 hours is equivalent to a full semester in college.

Rules and restrictions may apply. Okay, guys, we want to tell you about Future Fan Sports, a new brand that's making it super easy for little kids to become big fans.If you've ever tried to explain football to a little kid, you know how hard it is.
I tried to give Jet the rundown on football the other day, and it was interesting, but the dads who invented this brand have figured it out for the rest of us.Future Fans is the easy button.
Here's an example.Instead of trying to explain downs in football, they have a kid play a beanbag toss game with things like four tries and six points embedded into it.
And then later, they connect those concepts back to football itself through a storybook that guides the entire future fan's experience.
It's genius and kids pick up the concepts instantly.Our kids had a blast with this.Seriously, give it a week or two and your kid will be asking you to watch football.
Designed for kids ages 4 to 8 and they're a sports-loving adult, Future Fans has sport-specific activity boxes for football and soccer with more on the way.And they're only $49.99.

I love doing these with you too, baby.Last one.Which one do you want to ask?
How do you keep the flirty side of your relationship alive with three kids?
I actually had this thought the other day because I feel like you and I are unique in this sense.Just when I'm like looking at other couples and as they progress in life with like kids, we just have never stopped playing with each other.
And I mean, what?And I mean that in the sense of like, we joke around and we're not afraid to like be flirty in public or like holding hands and being silly.Like we have a sense of playfulness that we have never let go of.
When we're at our best, I agree.We've definitely had like the couple months after baby, not that playful.For sure.That is, we did this whole value, family values exercise.I think we have something we could share about that.
But one of the values was playfulness for our family. And I agree, yeah.We're pretty sarcastic, which is good most of the time.
We're back in the phase where it's good.
It can be really bad, probably.Yeah.
How do we be flirty?I don't know.I just freaking love your booty.
So like, I just love you.
I'm freaking tap that whenever, you know, like, wow.
Should we close there?Is that, is that how we're going to end this?
We started off today with touring potential schools for our kids, and they might watch this.
