Folks, Katherine Joy and myself are so excited to be back for another episode of the now that we're a family podcast.

We are fresh off the longest vacation that Katie and I have done ever without the children.

And so we're excited to talk about it.

It came with many rewarding moments, but it also came with some learning moments.

So we're going to share about some of those today.

I also wanted to ask if you're able to leave a rating or a review on this podcast, Katie and I would love that so much.

That is one of our favorite things.

Well, actually, that's one of our favorite things.

I should say the reviews are one of the ways we receive the most encouragement for this podcast.

I mean, we love it when you guys DM us or when you take us on Instagram or when you email us and talk about things that you appreciate about the podcast.

But when we read those reviews, that means so much to us.

So if you're able to go to iTunes and tap on either the five star rating or if you've got the time to leave a review, that not only encourages us, it also increases the reach that the podcast has on the various platforms.

If you're able to leave reviews on those platforms.

So that would just mean a lot to Katie and myself.

That's the one thing. So let's just get going.

Okay, so it's for the love of Alisha that I am out here tonight.

We just got home from a road trip.

So we had us seven hour road trip at the beginning of our trip.

And then we were Alisha and I flew.

We dropped off the kids with his parents.

Then we flew to Hawaii for seven days and or six days, right?

Yeah, that's funny.
