The weather in Phoenix has officially lost its mind. We cracked triple digits in March—like, what? Summer decided to show up early and didn’t even bother knocking. While everyone else is melting, we’re gearing up for one of our favorite weekends of the year: General Conference… but with a twist. This Sunday is extra special because it lands on Easter Sunday. For members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, General Conference happens twice a year. It’s when we g

So, yeah — I've been MIA for the past two weeks, and I'd love to give you some dramatic excuse, but the truth is pretty simple: my older brother Warren showed up, and suddenly blogging felt very far away. You know how it is. Someone hands you a shell of kava and next thing you know it's been fourteen days. It's been a genuinely great stretch though. Warren and I have been doing the kind of hanging out that doesn't really have an agenda — drinking kava, eating out, talking abo

Hey everybody, IAmtheRexiest, here, and wow—what fun our latest podcast episode turned out to be! Vanessa and I sat down to spill the tea on how our home went from feeling like a chaotic hotel full of roommates to an actual cozy, connected family spot. If you've ever felt like everyone's just rushing past each other, phones in hand, meals on the go, and zero real togetherness... yeah, that was us not too long ago. We dove deep into the simple (but not always easy) shifts we

Howsitgoing everybody, —it's Rex here, Brother, Son, Husband, Dad, tiki carver, home experiment king, and yeah, The Rexiest Man Alive. Just dropped the first episode of The Rexiest Family Around on RSS.com, and since this is basically my spot on iamtherexiest.com , I figured I'd share the heart of it right here: how it all started for me back in Tonga. Picture the mid-90s. I'm this Mission President's kid, fresh in Tonga, and one day in 1994, I spot her—big smile that hits d

Howsit Going Everybody! If you've ever felt the weight of chronic pain, racing thoughts, or just the everyday stresses of life pulling you away from being your best self—as a parent, spouse, disciple, or just a human trying to show up—then this one's for you. I just dropped a new episode of my podcast: " Roots of Peace – My Go - To Supplements : Kava , Marijuana , and Faith ." In this heartfelt 30-minute chat (just me and my bro talking while we're sitting together ove

It's that perfect blend of sweet summer corn, hearty potatoes, smoky bacon, and velvety cream that warms you from the inside out. Whether it's the tail end of summer when fresh corn is at its peak or a chilly February evening (like right now in Arizona!), this soup feels like a hug in a bowl. Corn chowder has deep American roots, evolving from early chowder

Hey friends, If your house looks anything like mine right now, it's tissues everywhere, coughs echoing down the hall, and zero energy for anything ambitious. My daughter caught whatever bug is going around (and gave it to my Wife and then generously shared it with me), so we've been in full survival mode. No big adventures, no exciting outings—just a lot of blankets, hydration, and Hulu. But last week, there was one bright spot: her school's Wax Museum event. If you've never

So I just started doing this, because of my sister, age told me to try eating 300 calories per meal, to give my liver chance. So I downloaded the "lose it" app and I'm on my 3rd day. And I'm seeing positive results! I thought it would be difficult but it really hasn't, I just tell myself, I'll eat more later, cause I Love to eat. This is pro ably the happiest diet I've been on since I can eat what I want, just in smaller portions divided up throughout the day. Solve been
