Starting Over at 50: Friendships, Marriage & Finding Your People Again

Raising Good Humans: Grit, Grace & a No-Phone Summer

Nobody hands you a manual for raising good humans — you just do life and try not to mess 'em up too bad. In this episode, Paul and Laurel pick up where "Raising Boys to Be Men" left off and dig into the how: being warm AND the boss (the parenting shift everybody's talking about in 2026), the no-phone summer that's got families going analog again, why the most-searched parenting idea this year is actually privacy, and how grit and grace get built one hard thing at a time — with a little faith holding it all together. Honest, funny, and straight off the porch. 📚 Grab our Oklahoma Fun! coloring & activity book on Amazon — a screen-free win for the kids and grandkids. https://a.co/d/0bQ4WoVu 📖 Laurel's book, Laughing Through the Tears — laughingthroughthetearsbook.com https://a.co/d/0dvZ5BVi 📩 Got a story or a topic?

June is Everything - Birthdays, Anniversaries, Fathers Day, & Oklahoma Fun!

June is everything in the Palladino house! Fathers Day weekend, Michaels 26th Birthday, our 31st Anniversary, and Marley Rae turns 2. Plus the launch of our very first Oklahoma Themed Coloring and Activity Book. We also just got back from Destin, FL. where tropical storm Arthur shut down the Gulf of America all week - Double Red Flags. The Palladino's and McClary's took over a pontoon, found hermit crabs, got ice cream from a ice cream boat at Crab Island, explored Seaside and Baytown and enjoyed dinner at AJ's and last but not least the grand daughters got buried in the sand and then proceeded to bury Uncle Jordan.
