Summer Survival Mode: Marriage, Kids, and Keeping Your Sanity

Summer sounds magical… until somebody’s crying over sunscreen, the house is covered in wet towels, and your grocery bill doubles overnight.

In this episode, Larry and Brittney talk honestly about the chaos of summer family life, shifting rhythms, marriage connection during busy seasons, parenting pressure, and why the “perfect summer” probably isn’t the goal anyway.

They also share practical things actually helping their family survive summer with their sanity mostly intact, plus a fun appearance from the older girls.
