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 get to hear...]]></description><link>https://www.iamtherexiest.com/post/super-sunday-turning-general-conference-into-family-fun</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cc9da2effe4b22024c587a</guid><pubDate>Wed, 01 Apr 2026 04:28:33 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/15250b_32bf7f7e14a746f8acc6f399fb3771e5~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>I Am The Rexiest</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where have I been? Blame Warren.]]></title><description><![CDATA[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 about nothing and...]]></description><link>https://www.iamtherexiest.com/post/where-have-i-been-blame-warren</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69c2497f12179886ce33b3cb</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 09:06:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/15250b_a63b631f8ebd463f904b2c909d1e7fca~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>I Am The Rexiest</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leading Our home.

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.
