Today we sat down with social media sensation and our friend, Daryl-Ann Denner and her husband, Daniel, to talk about what’s been happening in their lives. Daryl-Ann is currently pregnant with baby #3 and we loved hearing about what’s been working for their relationship and what they’ve been struggling with. We touched on everything from wanting a large family and adoption to learning when to say no and how to prioritize your marriage. We love the direction this conversation went and we always love when we can have honest and vulnerable conversations with our guests. We’re grateful to have friends in similar seasons of life as us because let’s be honest, the struggle is real with toddlers and some days your marriage unintentionally takes a back seat. We hope you relate to this episode!  Love you guys!
