Love without conditions

Jonathan Longnecker / August 13, 2014

I've been thinking a lot lately about what unconditional love means. What it looks like. How it plays out in everyday life. And the more I think about it, the simpler it seems.

Clean Dirty Fries

Ashley Longnecker / August 11, 2014

We visited Portland in July this year and one of the stops we were looking forward to is this place called Lardo. Oh. My. Goodness. The name is perfectly fitting and I didn't regret a single bite. It was a magical combination of potatoes and onions and banana peppers and fried pig and it. was. amazing!

Whole30: Trying not to break

Jonathan Longnecker / August 09, 2014

Guys, I just want to take a minute and let you know that while we've been doing great with this Whole30 thing, it's not always easy. Sometimes it's really hard. Like when I went with my kids to the movies today and couldn't eat any popcorn or M&M's. Or when Ashley bought a whole box of M&M cookies for the kids. And we watched them eat those chewy pillows of heaven spotted with colored chocolate morsels. While crying uncontrollably. Are you sensing a theme here? I must really miss M&M's today.

Let your kids make weird stuff!
