Has our parenting philosophy changed over the last 7 years of having multiple kids? Absolutely. Because the truth is that as we grow + change our family, our perspective grows + changes alongside of it. And in today’s episode, we are talking all about those changes as we share what our experience has been from no kids to one kid, to now having four kids.  Some of the perspectives that we have changed are around topics like vaccines, birth choices, sharing the bed, managing screen time, discipline strategies, the role of sports in our family, and a few more hot-button topics (because those are the ones we have shifted on most!). At the end of the day, it is all about trusting your gut, finding balance, and embracing the unpredictable nature of parenting. So grab your headphones and listen in!  GUESS WHAT?!

Your gut health affects your overall health. And when you struggle with chronic illness, it is easy to think “Well I am sick so I am just going to be sick.” But it doesn’t have to be that way. There are things you can do to make yourself the healthiest you can be, even in your state of sickness.  Many people don’t know this, but Audrey has struggled with chronic sickness for many years - and she has gone through traditional health care + holistic health care circuits to figure out what is going on. In today’s episode, she is sharing her journey! From the onset of her sickness, the physical and mental challenges she faced, the seasons of trial and error with her diet, the critical role of mindset in healing, and what happened in Costa Rica that changed her health journey completely.   If you are struggling with your health, we hope this conversation is insightful and gives you hope for healing in your journey + encourages you to advocate for a balanced approach to your health. ♥️ In this episode we talk about:  🫠 Why Audrey broke up with Jeremy in the middle of her health journey  ❤️‍🩹 The power of your mindset when you are healing your body 🩺 Balancing holistic medicine and traditional medicine approaches  ☀️ Why Costa Rica was deeply healing for Audrey + her health  Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Shop Audrey’s Amazon Storefront Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

How do you get your kids to eat like that?! 😅   We are constantly asked about our eating habits – from what we eat in a day, what we buy, how we food prep, what we feed our kids, and what healthy snacks we feed our kids – and in this episode we are going to share all about that (and more).  Name one thing that is worth achieving that takes zero effort. Nothing. It doesn’t just magically happen, just like being healthy doesn’t just happen. It takes effort and it is usually the harder choice. It takes being conscious of what you are fueling your body with so you can live a healthier lifestyle. Food is fuel. And the right fuel takes effort.  At the end of the day, it comes down to aligning your family values with your overall health, which includes what you eat. For us, maintaining a holistic healthy lifestyle always aligns with our Christian faith and the interconnectedness of physical and spiritual well-being. If you are curious about how those go hand-in-hand and are interested in learning more about how we align food with our family values, listen in! ♥️ In this episode we talk about:  Why real food is so important and how it impacts your overall health  Ways we introduce healthy eating habits with our kids  How we align our family values around health + food  What conscious eating + spiritual awareness have in common  Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Shop Audrey’s Amazon Storefront Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

“How do you plan to give birth this time around?” 🤔 We are a few months away from giving birth to baby #4!! And most of the questions we are asked center around how we plan to bring this little one into the world.  We have been through the birthing experience a few times now – from hospital births to giving birth at a birthing center.

We are *hopefully* coming to the finish line of our home renovation … and that is largely to due the fact that we are less than 3 months from having baby #4. So we realllyyyy would like to have the home + baby finish line aligned.  So this episode is a raw + vulnerable BTS look at our home renovation.

Why do you practice Sabbath? How do you do it with little kids? 🤔  If you have followed us since before we had kids, you know Sabbath is a big part of our values + something we talk about often. It’s a practice we align with + since having kids, it has evolved but the goal remains the same: to return to the present moment.  Sabbath isn’t a cool idea. It is a necessity and a natural law of reality. We need it! Yes, it is a choice, but if you want to be healthy + aligned with how God created you, you must Sabbath. ♥️  In this episode we answer the biggest questions we get asked about Sabbath – why we do it, the importance of it, ways we practiced Sabbath before kids, and ways we do it now that we have little kids.  GIVEAWAY! 🥳 We’re giving away “These Are The Days” sweatshirts.

What does identity really mean? How do I discover it? How do I walk in it?  Identity is an eternal journey discovering what God did when God made me. The more you walk with Him the deeper you understand yourself, and the more you love your neighbor. When your job, your role, or your responsibilities become more important than your identity, you lose yourself. So how do you stay connected to who God made you?  “Identity is not the name of our religion.” - Jamie Winship joins us for a conversation all about identity. He is breaking through false identity + guides us through understanding what is true and how we can experience that truth.  Jamie offers online courses that help people discover their true identity and experience a life of joy, peace, and freedom. Our Identity Exchange Coaches are trained to help you recognize the false beliefs holding you back and begin the movement into your true identity. One-on-one coaching sessions can be booked by visiting our website: http://www.identityexchange.com In this episode we talk about:  Bridging the gap between who you are and what God has called you to do How knowing your identity directly ties into how you love your neighbor  What false identity is + how it is rooted in fear  Links to anything we mentioned:  Family Values Planner (33% off for launch get it for $10 until February 14)  Jamie’s One-On-One Coaching: http://www.identityexchange.com Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Shop Audrey’s Amazon Storefront Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

This week, we are getting super practical as we share a list of ways we have been supporting our health over the last few years; from things we have tried, things that have worked, and things we have not (yet) tried.  We are NOT experts in this.

Happy New Year!! ✨ The holiday season was FULL of movement for us. We spent Christmas at Roloff Farm (in the home where Jeremy had Christmas every year growing up!) then went to our cabin in Spring River before heading back to our temporary home with Audrey’s family. 🫠 We’ve lived out of luggage for the last two weeks, and there is a reality to it that social media just doesn’t paint! So, we want to share some BTS of our experience over the last few weeks. BUT more so, Jeremy faced his “dragons” and went back to his childhood home for Christmas. Because there is something powerful, vulnerable, and healing when you face your dragons. 💌 In this episode we talk about:  Creative date night ideas; what we do + how we plan intentionally to make dates happen How being at the farm for Christmas brought a depth of peace to our family   Discovering whether your kids are feelers, thinkers, or doers (+ what to ask them that will help them feel seen, loved, and process best)  Our gender predictions for baby #4 (we will find out soon!!)  Links to anything we mentioned:  52 Date Night Tracker 1,000 Hours Outside Podcast 1,000 Hours Outside Tracker Book Spring River Cabin + see availability!  Spring River Cabin list of items most asked about Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Shop Audrey’s Amazon Storefront Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

You say the word “Santa” and it brings up a diverse perspective of experiences, memories, word maps, and pictures. 🎄So let’s talk about this – because for us, we used to sit on side of the Santa-camp and now we find ourselves moving towards the other side.  Like many things in parenting, Santa is something we’ve changed our minds on. Simply said, we are allowing Santa in our home (+ it means something different than “doing” Santa to us).  We are all about protecting our kids’ childhood and allowing them to cherish childhood. We want to give them a childhood that fosters their imagination and lets them be little. If you find yourself having conversations around Santa in your home + how to foster childhood while maintaining truth, we hope this conversation serves as an invitation to discover what works best for your family.  PS - have you heard the news?

For our family, the values we’ve built unite us and ground us – keep us centered and tethered to reality.  We know that creating family values can feel overwhelming + daunting.

You may be thinking: how do I actually implement those values with my family?  As we talk about our family values, how we came up with them, and how we implement them, we hope you walk away encouraged + inspired to sit down with your spouse and spend time coming up with your family values. We are going to offer you some practical tools that will help you simplify the focus of your values so you instill them into your kids. ⚒️ *There’s still time!* Have you grabbed our heirloom Memories of Christmas journals yet?!!🎄These beautiful 25-year Christmas memory books are the perfect way to record and cherish your Christmas memories, photos, cards, and recipes throughout the years and precious keepsake to pass down through the generations.

We’re pregnant with baby #4! 🥳 So we thought this was the perfect episode to talk about expanding our family, how our parenting has evolved, what we’re excited (and nervous) about with baby #4, and so much more.  When it comes to parenting, we all want a formula but there is no right-one-way to do it. That just doesn’t exist. Every kid, every family, and every season is different. And we have transitioned into a specific way of thinking that has released us from the pressure of being the perfect parent. We hope this inspires you to release that pressure too! ♥️ *There’s still time!* Have you grabbed our heirloom Memories of Christmas journals yet?!!🎄These beautiful 25-year Christmas memory books are the perfect way to record and cherish your Christmas memories, photos, cards, and recipes throughout the years and precious keepsake to pass down through the generations.

Did you know we are remodeling our home? 😜 If you didn’t it’s ok! We haven’t done the best job sharing about it online. Renovating our home means we’ve moved in with family. It’s us, our kids, and Audrey’s parents navigating life, homeschooling, work, and the renovation. And it has been quite overwhelming! 🥴  A big question we are getting about all this is … “how is it living with your parents?” That question typically comes with the expectation of a negative answer. But honestly, for us, it has been a huge blessing and has gone way better than we anticipated. Want to know why? Listen in!  We’re diving into the chaos, the reality, the beauty, and everything in between as we share about our home renovation journey so far. 🏠  *Still in stock!!* Have you grabbed our heirloom Memories of Christmas journals yet?!!🎄These beautiful 25-year Christmas memory books are the perfect way to record and cherish your Christmas memories, photos, cards, and recipes throughout the years and precious keepsake to pass down through the generations.

They are available for podcast listeners at memoriesofchristmasjournal.com  Let’s talk about alcohol. Over the last year, our perspective around alcohol has evolved and has led to a pretty significant shift in our lives. One thing we have learned is that not every new discipline has to be extreme because extreme can be unhealthy. But when you develop new ways of living a more whole and healthy life, you understand that healthy moderation is possible. ♥️ There are several reasons why we have scaled back alcohol, and as we share them with you we hope conversations in your own heart and in your own home arise.  In this episode we talk about:  Our personal experiences + upbringing surrounding alcohol  Ways alcohol was impacting our health (physically + spiritually)  How being extreme in new disciplines can become unhealthy  Why it was possible for us to give up alcohol this time compared to when we have tried before Links to anything we mentioned:  Grab the Memories of Christmas Journal  Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

They are officially available today for podcast listeners at memoriesofchristmasjournal.com.  With holidays coming up, travel may be in your future (whether in a car or on a plane), so we thought this was the perfect time to talk about traveling with little kids! 😆 For us, we value traveling enough that we didn’t want to wait until the kids were older to travel. We know that travel breaks up routine + opens our kids’ eyes to new perspectives. But we also know it is NOT easy … especially with little kids. There are things we have discovered over the years that have made traveling with our kids easier; not perfect, but easier. 👏 We are going to share things we’ve learned along the way – from packing, knowing what strollers and car seats to bring, mapping out daily schedules, the best time to board the plane, things we use to keep our kids entertained on the plane and SO much more.  Another big part of today’s conversation is all about screen time. We know it is a hot topic. We are not anti-screens but we have a stricter screen philosophy than most people. And we want to talk about how we integrate screen time into our travel.  So, let’s take off + get into this! ✈️ In this episode we talk about:  Why we want our kids to travel and learn through travel experiences Our travel philosophy + how our parenting style speaks into it  Cars vs. plan travel (hacks we do differently for each method of travel)   What screen time looks like when we are traveling   Links to anything we mentioned:  Memories of Christmas Journal  The Bucket List Family  Our jogger stroller  Doona Carseat/Stroller  Doona Bike  Slumber Pod Tonie Box code 20AUDREY for 20% off orders over $99 “Goldbug Book” aka one of our favorite books for the kids  Boat Bag aka our “throw all carry-on bag” for travel Baggu Crossbody best-oversized fanny pack Homeopathic travel kit  Portable sound machine Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

We get A  LOT of questions about how we came to the decision to homeschool our kids. So we thought it would be fun, interesting, and (hopefully) helpful to talk about that in today’s episode. 😊 Our decision is multifaceted and it wasn’t just about education for our kids. Our goal in this conversation is to share our personal schooling experiences, talk about parenting and our thoughts on raising kids, and how homeschooling fits into all of it. So, let’s talk about homeschooling! ♥️ PS - Memories of Christmas journal coming soon 👀 Make sure you are on our Roloff Monthly so you can be the first to know when they are back in stock!

Let’s talk about church  ⛪ We have experienced many versions of the Christian church, and have openly shared them over the years. In our culture right now, there is a lot of sentiment around church; from church hurt, to frustrations, to people leaving church and not attending anymore.  Over the last few years, we have found ourselves wrestling with the gap of what church should be like and what church is actually like. It has been a journey but we are landing on solid ground. 🥾 Our hope is that this conversation inspires conversations within your home, family, and marriage about being a follower of Jesus and what being part of the body of Christ means for you.  Ps - have you left the podcast a review yet? We are so thankful for YOU, our listeners. And we want to hear what you love about the show. So take a moment to leave a review on your podcast app. It means the world to us ♥️ In this episode we talk about:  Our individual backgrounds in church  Letting go of expecting things from the church you can only get from walking with Jesus  Why you shouldn’t outsource your spiritual walk to the church Moving from criticism to grace when it comes to your perspective of the church  Connect with us: Instagram I @audreyroloff Instagram I @jeremyroloff The Marriage Journal  Memories of Us Anniversary Journal Creative Love  A Love Letter Life  Debt Free Journal  Some of the links above may be affiliate links, which means we earn a small commission if you purchase the item(s) using these links.

We just celebrated our 9 year anniversary (wild!) so marriage is at the forefront of this episode. ♥️ The last 9 years may have taken us away from our plans. But allowing the Spirit to move and shift them has led us to better plans than we could have expected, even if sometimes it has been challenging. Our marriage identity has been formed, and as we share our journey with you, we hope it inspires YOU to establish a marriage identity of your own.  We are diving into running the Helvetia Half Marathon, our 13 mile marriage nuggets, and a behind the scenes look at partnerships + brand deals for influencers.  Pre-sale for These Are The Days Sweatshirts is EXTENDED through Sunday, 10/15.

Every relationship has conflict - it is universal + inevitable! But what sparks the most conflict in your relationship? Is it stress, lack of time together, money, hard days at work or with the kids?

Memories of Us has launched - and just in time for Valentines Day! We believe this journal will carry great weight and impact, beyond your marriage + for generations of your family to come. To celebrate Memories of Us launching, we are diving into why making memories + marking moments is SO important to us and how you can cultivate this in your relationship too. We love what Corrie Ten Boom brilliantly says, “Memories are the key not to the past, but to the future.” Beyond making memories, we love to “lock it in.” This is our way of creating a mental tattoo of important moments to us; moments of celebration, loss, disappointment, or even just the little daily moments of discovery, connection, or breakthrough. It has become part of our marriage culture and we hope to encourage you to find your own way to integrate this into your relationship too!  Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International.

We are SO excited for today’s episode because we are covering a lot of ground!  First, we are going to tackle a fear floating around our world today when it comes to relationships: the fear of being cheesy. And how that fear holds us back from pursuing creativity in our love stories.  We are also going to play a fun game that involves YOU guys! We asked you on Instagram to share some statements/assumptions about us, and we are going to answer those.  A lot of those questions had to do with the farm. And we have been processing this all summer + are finally ready to share an update with you. While it won’t answer all your questions, we know that it will bring enough clarity as we share our hearts.  And finally, we are going to talk about roles in our relationship (something you all have been asking more and more!)  So grab a cup of coffee, sit fireside, and let’s dive in!  Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International.

If you know us, you know that we THRIVE off of adventure + spontaneity! Sure, we need routine, but we also need newness. It is about finding that balance, stepping out of your comfort zone, and saying yes to moments along the journey.  Adventures make good stories and they teach you so much about who you are, who someone else is, and how your relationship responds to life and situations.  Our world today has over complicated and over saturated the truest form of adventure. We are constantly comparing our life to someone else’s and thinking we have to have the picture perfect adventure in order for it to be worth it. But that is not true at all!  The muscle of adventure is there. It just takes flexing + creativity to unlock it. And once you do, it is well worth it!  Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International. When you sponsor a child, you receive a FREE copy of our latest book, Creative Love. To Sponsor A Child - Compassion.com/Roloff or Text ROLOFF to 83393.

Communication is the most crucial component in marriage. It can strengthen, heal and acknowledge your commitment to grow your relationship.  We live in a fast paced, convenient world that does not value the power of writing things down or communicating well. And one of the biggest things that come against healthy (+ creative) communication is social media. If not harnessed and wrangled, social media will rob you of your love story.  Communication isn’t just a big conversation once a night before you go to bed. It can happen in creative ways throughout your day. Affirmations, sticky notes, letters - all of that. They are powerful! All it takes is a bunch of words strung together to build a beautiful story. There are little things you can do everyday that have weight + make such a big impact in your relationship. We hope this episode motivates you to do the small, simple, attainable things that come with big rewards.  Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International. When you sponsor a child, you receive a FREE copy of our latest book, Creative Love. To Sponsor A Child - Compassion.com/Roloff or Text ROLOFF to 83393.

It is a book full of ideas, challenges, and questions that help cultivate creativity in your relationship throughout the rest of your life. You can put it on your coffee table or night stand and reference back to it often!  In this episode, we are going to talk about how 2020 looked to us, what it meant for marriages, and how we are going to take action together this season on the show to link arms and cultivate a creative love together.   Behind the Scenes Podcast is partnered with Compassion International.

The theme of the last 6 months of our life has been scaling things back in our life which is why we have made the decision to wrap up season 4 of the podcast and take a break from releasing new episodes for a season.
