Hi friends! It is good to be back after a week of meandering and thinking and enjoying and realizing how bad I am at “not-busy.” It was work not doing stuff and just watching my kids play and tumble and live. And honestly I failed 50% of the time. But I did try! Ever since…

I love the Olympics. Every two years, I toss that “not-to-much-television” thing out the window and camp out in front of our small screen watching athletes of all types go for gold. When I first got married we didn’t have a TV [yikes] so I frequented my fitness center, spending hours on the elliptical just…

My marriage gets mixed up, turned around and in-side-out ALL the time. And I am guessing yours does to. The circumstances aren’t necessarily epic…but the heat is turned up all the same. Perhaps you disagree on which family to visit for Christmas. Perhaps you are trying to get out the door and one baby is…

The is the second week of our blogging double header with Bring The Kids! We are talking about how to thrive in our marriages. So keep coming back! Several years ago, my wife would frequently say that she felt as though she had no hobbies. She didn’t know who she was anymore. That she’d been…

Welcome back to A “Made for Adventure” Marriage! Last week we had some great discussion on what is means to fight for your spouse, pursuing each other’s hearts, and keeping the passion alive. We also encouraged couples to make those date nights a priority and invest in quality time together. Today I am sharing a post from a…

Welcome to A “Made for Adventure: Marriage series. I just wanted to note a few things about my wife that I love. One for every year we’ve been married. (Our anniversary is Sunday!) 7 things I adore about my wife: 1)   Her restlessness and yearning (to know God, to understand, to change the world). My wife is…

If you just joined us, welcome to A “Made for Adventure” Marriage Series! A lot has been going on. Here is our fourth installment, a re-post from sometime last summer. I don’t re-post often. In fact, I never have before. But it is a good one. One I need to read to myself over and…

Welcome! We are glad you decided to join us for part 2 of A “Made for Adventure” Marriage. We are teaming up with our friends over at Bring the Kids to share all about marriage from two different perspectives. So check them out! Yesterday Chris talked about what to do when the passion begins to…

Thanks for joining us for part 1 in our series called A “Made for Adventure” Marriage.  Many, many people reach the end of their parenting years and realize one morning, sitting at the table that they don’t know the person across from them anymore. There is no love or passion. That thought terrifies me. I…

Here at The Kid Project we love family! We love kids and the outdoors and all [well…most] of what goes along with it. So this next week we are starting a series on marriage. What does marriage have to do with the outdoors? Nothing and everything I suppose. But our marriages do have everything to do…

I wanted to title this post “A collective sigh,” but instead went for simple and straight forward. Chances are you are sick of hearing my voice- even if it is in the deep recesses of your mind. At the very least I am worn out from the daily posting! Literally. [Sore wrist. Anyone else have…

Alright, this is risky. A man talking about his wife’s emotions. Did Pandora make another box? I know that I’m making some broad generalizations here, but they are generally true. My generalizations are these: Women are more aware of, in-tune with, and to an extent, controlled by their emotions. Men (generally) tend to flop between two…

Here is the thing I’ve noticed about mothering. Okay, maybe two things…okay maybe three. I’ll try to limit it to three: 1. It is hard and tiring. 2. With it comes an unhealthy dose of worrying. 3.These two things can take over your whole life. This spring I made a choice: to be willing to…
