The Jinger & Jeremy Podcast

My sister Joy flew in for a visit and we couldn't wait to jump on the mic together! In this episode, I sit down with my favorite co-host (yes, my actual sister) to talk about what it's really like being sisters — the closeness we didn't always have growing up, how we stay connected even though we live so far apart, and why FaceTime has completely changed the way our families bond across the miles.

We get into it all: our kids growing up as playmates even though they're states apart, what it means to build relationships with aunts, uncles, and grandparents who don't live nearby, and how technology has changed long-distance family life for the better. I also open up about leaning on my faith through hard seasons and how studying the attributes of God has shifted my whole perspective lately.

If you've ever wondered how sisters stay close despite distance, different seasons of life, or busy schedules — this conversation is for you.

📌 In this episode:
✨ Growing up as sisters (and not always being close)
✨ How we stay connected long-distance
✨ FaceTime, family bonds, and our kids' relationships
✨ Leaning on faith through hard seasons
✨ Studying the attributes of God

We just celebrated one of our kids' birthdays, and it got us talking about birthdays, gifts, and the one thing we still don't agree on... cake. Yeah, we're airing out our "argument" (we don't like the word fight) over birthday cake traditions, and it's a good one.In this episode, we cover:

✨ The birthday cake debate that became our biggest "we did not see eye to eye" moment

🎂 The nostalgic treats we grew up with — homemade ice cream cakes, Cool Whip layers, and those paper-wrapped ice cream blocks (if you remember these, you're our people)

🎁 The most memorable gifts we got growing up, and the ones we love giving our kids now

💛 Why we sometimes get so caught up trying to make something "special enough" that we end up doing nothing at all

👶 A moment that hit us hard — learning to see the world through our daughter's eyes instead of our own

😄 Plus we're catching up on Comic-Con, sore throats, sunburns, and our usual banter

If you've followed our marriage and parenting journey, you know we like to keep it real, funny, and a little sentimental. This one's all three.

Welcome back to another episode of the Jinger & Jeremy Podcast!

This week we're recapping our 4th of July weekend, celebrating America's 250th birthday, running our annual Independence Day 5K, and being part of our dear friends Anna and Zach's wedding (all three of us were in the wedding party).

In this episode:

- Keeping my yearly tradition of running a 5K every 4th of July, postpartum and undertrained this time
- The collegiate runners (and even an Olympic steeplechaser) who put our times to shame
- Getting cheered on by friends along the route, and how it reminded us of Hebrews 12 and "the great cloud of witnesses"
- My last-minute bridesmaid dress situation
- Jeremy watching me walk down the aisle twice in one wedding
- Our second annual 4th of July tradition, the race, the parade, and a pool party at home
- LA's neighborhood fireworks culture and why we don't do our own anymore
- A bit of good-natured medal drama over this year's 5K design

It was a full, memorable weekend, and we hope you had a good one too!

Do you ever feel like you're never doing enough as a parent? In this episode, we're getting honest about the anxiety and mom guilt that come with raising our three kids; from the comparison trap of social media "perfect parent" content, to the exhaustion of newborn sleep schedules, to the surprise stress of dental appointments and scheduling overload.

We talk about:

✨ Why social media makes our parenting anxiety worse (and how we try to unplug)

✨ The mental load we carry as parents: appointments, food choices, schooling decisions

✨ How sleep deprivation with our one-year-old and five-year-old is really going for us

✨ The communication tension we've had around late-night scheduling talks

✨ Why we try to model humility and ask our kids for forgiveness, instead of chasing "perfect" parenting

✨ Trusting God in the middle of our own parenting overwhelmIf you've ever laid awake at 10pm running through your kids' schedules in your head, or felt like you failed because of an Instagram post... we get it, and we're in this with you.
