In this episode, Stevie & Deanne share how differently they were raised when it comes to family gatherings. Stevie grew up visiting Grandma and Grandpa every weekend—no special reason needed—just food, fun, and togetherness. Deanne’s family saved get-togethers mostly for holidays and special occasions.

They talk about how those traditions shaped their marriage, how they plan family events now, and the secret to bringing everyone together (hint: favorite foods help!). If you’ve ever wondered why some families gather constantly while others rarely do, this episode will feel very familiar.

Perfect for parents, grandparents, and anyone who loves family stories, laughter, and practical ideas for keeping relatives connected.
