27 JAN 2023 · We’re starting to get the hang of this video thing. It doesn’t mean we like doing it but we love you, so we’re gonna keep doing it anyway. This episode was recorded on Mackin’s birthday and we couldn’t think of a better way of celebrating it than with all of you. We didn’t touch on everything we wanted to due to the kids waking up in the middle of recording but we did “touch” on plenty to say the least. We even have a surprise special cameo. We love you all and thank you for listening! http://www.makinitwiththemackins.com/

11 JAN 2023 · Happy New Year everyone! New year, same us…but hopefully better. 2023 is off to a great start! Breaking down Christmas went from 0-100 real quick but because of it, we now have this amazing new set (dining room) Danielle made. Aside from one huge fight, we’ve had a great couple of weeks and are excited to share it all with you! Per usual, the “Golden Husband” ranks the kids and we even had some fun interactions with listeners that we’re so grateful for. Thank you all for listening and watching, we hope you enjoy! http://www.makinitwiththemackins.com/

29 DEC 2022 · We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We actually did too and we recap it ALL in detail. Mackin rants on Elf on a Shelf, standardizing our beliefs in Santa Claus and pretty much Scrooged all over our Christmas joy. We also discuss some VERY uncomfortable topics that you’ll just have to listen to find out. If you’re watching this, you’re seeing the amazing work of boy, @aaronmaligmat, who we can’t thank enough. Our kids’ best and worst traits are brought out in the holidays and there are plenty of examples of that in this episode’s rankings. We hope you all have a happy new year and thank you for listening! http://www.makinitwiththemackins.com/

14 DEC 2022 · This episode almost didn’t happen but thanks to our unbelievably talented and good friend, Aaron Maligmat, he was able to salvage 1 of the terrible 3 videos and make this look and sound crystal clear. We’re so grateful for him!

28 NOV 2022 · Well, if you can’t tell already…we finally did video. It wasn’t easy and it didn’t come out the way we intended but we’re trying here. So, please bare with us as we figure out all the technical pieces. Apart from putting the video together, a lot of other life happened that we discuss in depth. A little trip to Disneyland or DMVland, as Mackin likes to call it, plenty of arguments to be analyzed at length, and Mackin’s child rankings. We love you all and hope you enjoy the video version of the podcast. As always, thank you for listening and now watching. http://www.makinitwiththemackins.com/

7 NOV 2022 · We are so happy to be back recording this episode! If you didn’t already know, Leo is out of the hospital and thriving. Thank God! The majority of this episode focuses on what his experience was like for our family and how the month of October was just shitty. BUT November is already lookin’ up! We are really excited about new things coming for our Podcast. Mackin doesn’t disappoint with his, “Child of the Week” rankings, wait until you hear who is number one! Thank you to everyone who reached out to us to support us through thoughts, prayers, and giving we couldn’t have gotten through this without our community. As always, thank you for listening! http://www.makinitwiththemackins.com/

11 OCT 2022 · If you didn’t know already, Leo was in the hospital for 3 days, Dean and Viv were sick and now we’re sick. BUT things are lookin’ up and I think we can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. We talk about what this whole experience has taught us about our kids and hopefully, it serves as birth control for those of you who don’t have kids. Seriously though, thank you to everyone who prayed over us, it means the world to us and if this is news to you, thank you for listening. http://www.makinitwiththemackins.com/
