Jimmy and Jenny from Living Life Loving Us join us to talk about something we haven’t really ever discussed before, parenting. The challenges of parenting are ever widening with the expanse of social media and the expectations that other parents have of each other for raising children.
This Fire Fighter and ER Nurse have a different take on the matter and have a truly unique system they have developed for their own family. It takes hard work and some sacrifice but the fight was worth it even when these two had to spend 6 figures on IVF just to have their baby.
They share their perspective on how they are raising their child, how they can still “spoil” her while not having to break the bank, and just focusing on what really matters most.
Jenny and Jimmy bring their honest and vulnerable thoughts to this conversation and make this one a must listen even if you don’t have kids.
