Welcome to Life's a Tripp. We are Shan and Ryan Tripp.

We are just a couple of small-town kids who fell quickly in love and couldn’t wait to do this life together! 

We started having kids, were both working in healthcare and bought our first house right down the road from family… life was great - but something was missing.

We were happy and blessed, but we also felt a little stuck. We realized we weren’t moving closer to our dreams for our future and family.

So, we sold everything. The house, the cars, the clothes, all the stuff, everything - except for the kids - we kept the kids. 

As scary as it was to make this big change - we couldn’t stop thinking about it; we knew in our hearts this was what God wanted for our family. 

We packed our entire life into seven suitcases, grabbed our four small children by the hands, and jumped on a one-way flight to Hawaii. 

From there, our whole world opened up.

We’ve experienced the highs and lows of parenting, marriage, running a business from home, finances, moving across the ocean, making new friends, and maybe doing things a bit differently to ultimately make the very most of our family life - and that’s what we want to share with you.

We are so grateful you are here, joining us as we pull back the curtains to have some fun together and chat about what we’ve learned during our unusual journey and what we’re doing each day to make the most of it. 

It’s true what they say, “Life’s a Tripp,” - but despite the chaos, we want to show you that life can be lived on your terms. 

This is our story. How will you write yours?

    62. Why Adult Friendships Matter

    62. Why Adult Friendships Matter

    As we get older and raise our kids we tend to put friendships to the side. But we don't think it has to be this way. In fact, we've built some amazing friendships with other couples that have enriched our lives a big way! And, most of time they have kids that are similar ages to our kids so it's a win-win for everyone. Head to http://www.seed.com/tripp to get 25% off your first month's supply of Seed.

    61. To sleepover, or NOT to sleepover

    It's summer and all the kids in the neighborhood are asking to sleepover at a friend's house. We've chosen not to let our kids have sleepovers at someone else's house. We just feel better if they are home with us at night. Listen as we share our experiences and what a good alternative to sleepovers might be.

    60. We finally created an estate plan and it feels amazing!

    60. We finally created an estate plan and it feels amazing!

    Have you ever thought about what would happen to your kids and your money, house, vehicles, golf clubs if you passed away? Without a written estate plan and some basic planning these things won't go where you want them to go! We have been talking about creating a living will and trust for several years and we finally booked the appointment with the lawyer to talk it over and get the document written up. It was easier than we thought and it feels soooooo good to have it done!...
