Family. Fun. A Little Chaos. Welcome to That’s B.A. 💪

Hello there and welcome to That’s B.A.!

We’re so glad you’re here 🤗

This weekly newsletter is all about the beautiful chaos of life— the adventures, the meltdowns, the unexpected wins, and the moments that remind us: this life may be busy, but it’s ours…. and it’s pretty damn B.A. (full explanation coming up). That’s B.A. is a mindset that you can accomplish anything your little heart desires, and we mean it!

So, before we dive into all the fun, helpful, ridiculous, and real stuff to hit your inbox, we figured we’d introduce ourselves.

👋 Meet the Fam:

We are Becka and Adam — married for almost 9 years and together for over 13! 😲

Our paths first crossed while working at Menards, when only one of us was old enough to buy alcohol legally, and the rest is history.  As for our (not so) little minions, we have 3 boys who we’ll discretionarily refer to as “A” (13yo) “B” (6yo) and “C” (4yo) throughout our stories for privacy reasons. 👼🏻

As proud parents to three wild and hilarious boys, our days are packed with sports, snacks, family games, unsanctioned wrestling competitions, Disney vacations, constant fear of taking trips to the hospital and trying to find five minutes of quiet. (Still searching 🧐)

We believe life doesn’t have to slow down when you have kids — in our perspective it gets richer, louder, and a whole lot more entertaining. 🎪

🤹‍♂️ Why We Started That’s B.A.

We wanted to create a space that inspires everyone to make the most of the time they have — whether it’s with your spouse (or not, no judgments here 🏳️‍🌈), your kids, your friends, your career and most importantly: yourself! 🫵🏻 

Too many people treat family life like a holding pattern until the kids grow up. Not us.

We’re on a mission to live it up now; travel together, take on fun projects, learn new skills as a family, and create memories that last, with a side of self-reflection. 

Every week, we’ll share stories, lessons, and inspiration to help you:

• Travel alone or with kids (without losing your minds, or the kids for that matter)

• Balance real-life responsibilities alongside all the fun sideshows

• Build consistent family routines that actually work

• Laugh at the chaos and love the journey together

💬 Why It’s Called That’s B.A.

It’s our motto. Our reminder. And our challenge to you.  Plan like engineers and play like kids.
Every time we hear “That’s B.A.” (Bad Ass — plus it’s our initials 😉)  it’s a reminder to push the limits on what family life can be.

We want to help families say yes more often, chase their version of awesome, and create something unforgettable to pass on for generations— together. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏻  

💡Acknowledging more That’s B.A.

We have a few segments to close each weekly session with:

Someone That’s B.A. – We’ll share an individual that we look up to for inspiration and why they are important to us.  Our hope is these influencers can help personally motivate you in different facets of life.  This will include their social handles/podcasts/books etc. for your reference.

Something That’s B.A. – Trying new things is our specialty lately, and we want to share the wins with you.  This (most likely) could be a golden nugget item at Costco, part of the Wednesday finds at Aldi, or just a simple tool we needed that exceeded expectations.  Our own testimonial edition if you will.

Best/Worst case scenario - We started this on our first vacation in Europe among uncharted territory.  Stop and playfully ask yourself “What’s the worst that can happen?” Other than horrible grimly deaths Final Destination style or being brutally murdered in a London alleyway by Jack the Ripper’s descendant (enter your biggest irrational way of suffering here) you’re most likely over exaggerating and everything will be justttttttttt fine 😇

Inspirational Quote – A little spark to ignite your internal fire for the week, brought to you by the most influential figures our generation has been lucky enough to witness. 

Brought to you by our Sponsors - Every week we will promote a company/brand That’s B.A. we have either used, bought, worked with or have partnerships with, that are slaying in their field/specialty… No Cap.

From the bottom of our hearts, thanks for being here. 🙏🏻

We hope you see yourself in our story or at the very least, you can just laugh at ours while pursuing your own legacy.

Let’s make a life That’s B.A. one week at a time.

Nothing but love,

Becka, Adam and the boys
