Posting this makes it actually real.

My chef husband said he would never run a half marathon… but here we are.

Our oldest son ran this race with Team World Vision three years ago to help bring clean water to people around the world, and now he’s roping his dad into it 😂

$50 gets someone clean water for life… FOR LIFE.

Over 700 million people don’t have access to clean water, and little by little, we can help bring that number down.

If you’d like to help support Jason in this challenge, we’d be insanely grateful. Any dollar amount helps. His goal is to raise $10,000 by race day, and honestly, that number feels really scary to type. I’m afraid of failure, and it feels impossible. (And we didn’t even mention this in the video, but our son is racing too, and his goal is $5,000.)

Geez Louise. I’m so proud of my guys.

If you’re a business or company that would like to support them, make a donation and send a T-shirt! They’ll wear it in one of their running updates and give your business a shoutout along the way.

Follow along for the journey. Jason’s been eating a lot of Midwest food (and 😂), so this is going to be a real adventure.

Their links are in our bio!

Everybody has an order at . My chef husband let the grumpiest and happiest customer (and our amazing waitress) choose his. He knew it was going to be hard to figure out which was which, but he didn’t think it would be this hard! It’s been about 20 years since we’ve been to Cracker Barrel and it still hits a spot.
What’s your go-to Cracker Barrel order? What are we missing?

(Thank you, Maverlie, for the amazing experience you gave us!! Killian will be bugging us daily about going back for that fried chicken.)

Campfire baguettes are the campfire upgrade of the summer!!

My chef husband is always looking for easy summer dinners, and I’m thinking this one just earned a spot in the rotation.

What campfire twists does your family make? Jason loves foodie discoveries, so share your best ideas.

My chef husband is a huge Taco Bell fan. It’s been his favorite after-work stop for years. He had NO idea another package was coming… and opening this felt like the ultimate gift.
A custom chef knife roll was not on our bingo card 😆
Thank you for making his day and fueling the saga! 
What should his next Taco Bell challenge be?

My chef husband let the happiest and grumpiest customer order for him at a local Mexican restaurant. He had no idea what he was in for.

Our dentist told us we needed to try Pure Mex in Byron Center, MI… I’d say that recommendation paid off.

Thanks to our server for letting us film and making it such a fun experience. He was the greatest!

Go support local restaurants and maybe let strangers pick your order once in a while!

Apparently being a chef doesn’t stop a man from building an elite gas station snack lineup.

What’s the gas station snack you’re grabbing every single time?

My chef husband tried Taco Bell breakfast for the first time… only to find out this Taco Bell doesn’t even serve breakfast 😂

So naturally we panic ordered a luxe pack at 10am like responsible adults.

Turns out burritos and Baja Blast still qualify as breakfast.

Also, we’re convinced this is the friendliest Taco Bell location. these workers deserve a bonus or something 👏🏻 They always take amazing care of people and make the experience fun every single time.

My chef husband doesn’t think kids could survive a 90’s summer… so we tested that theory and gave our kids a 90’s day.

No screens. No internet. No gaming. Just being outdoors, bikes, snacks, and a family movie night.

Jokes on us. We had the best day ever. The kids complained way less, and we had just as much fun as they did tasting the food from our childhood.

We might be gearing up for the whole summer now. I forgot how simple summers used to feel.

Let me know if you have a vcr you want to part with ✌🏻Who’s here to try out a 90’s summer?? What 90’s thing did we miss?

My chef husband went back inside after taking one bite…

How did we go this long without this?? The crispy chicken shawarma at [Pita House / Sami’s Gyros] might genuinely be one of the best bites in Grand Rapids.

And I’m not even going to get into the cookie and baklava because I’m still thinking about them. (Jason said best ever?? In front of his baker wife 😂 that’s bold)

Grand Rapids people… what else are we missing?
