Waking Up With Flem!

This week on Waking Up with Flem, we're back from an unforgettable family vacation to Amelia Island—and let's just say... it was one not to Forget!We recap the road trip while Ryan and Marlee binged episodes of Theo Von's podcast, family putt-putt battles, introducing the kids to golf with Payne, and the unforgettable moment Maizee decided Ryan's golf club was better suited for flying lessons than golfing.Of course, no Fleming vacation would be complete without a little chaos. Ryan's beach tent turned into its own adventure (or disaster, depending on who you ask), proving once again that simple instructions are merely suggestions.Back home, the weekend chaos continued when Mimi and Tom somehow managed to get themselves locked inside their own storage unit! It turned into one of those stories that's hilarious now... but probably wasn't in the moment. Leave it to our family to keep the adventures going even after vacation ends!We also take a moment to say goodbye to a very special member of the family—RIP Yurtle the Turtle. He may have been small, but he definitely left a big impression on the Fleming household.And since America is celebrating its 250th Birthday, we're raising an American Dew to 250 years of freedom, family, fireworks, and making memories that will be talked about for years to come.So grab your favorite drink (preferably an American Dew), sit back, and wake up with the Flem's for another episode full of laughs, stories, and the beautiful chaos of family life.

This week on Waking Up with Flem, Ryan and Marlee catch up on all the summer adventures happening around the Fleming household!Maizee headed off to soccer camp at TFS, sharpening her skills and making memories on the field, while Marlee spent part of her week completing CPR training and adding another valuable skill to her toolkit. Meanwhile, Declan enjoyed a mini vacation to Mimi and Tom's, getting spoiled and having a blast away from home.The Flemings also found themselves deep in binge-watch mode, diving into Netflix's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder along with a few movie nights. Marlee shares her frustration with how the series compares to the book, while Ryan tries to defend the adaptation.The family celebrated Father's Day with plenty of fun, and Ryan surprised the kids with a trip to Activate, the interactive game experience that had everyone running, climbing, and competing their way through high-energy challenges.Plus, Ryan and Marlee give an early birthday shout-out to Chelsey Poole, celebrating another trip around the sun and wishing her an amazing birthday week!To wrap things up, Ryan and Marlee talk about their upcoming beach vacation, what they're most excited about, what they're packing, and whether they'll actually be able to relax once they get there.Grab your coffee and join the conversation as the Flem's share another week of family life, laughs, summer adventures, and everything in between on Waking Up with Flem.

This week on Waking Up with Flem, Ryan and Marlee survived a rare kid-free week—and it may not have gone exactly as planned.With Maizee and Declan away at church camp, we thought we'd have plenty of time for date nights, pickleball, and crossing things off the to-do list. Instead, we enjoyed a couple of great dinners together, somehow never made it to the pickleball court, and soaked in the unusual quiet around the house.But it wasn't completely quiet—because the newest Fleming family member was settling into his new home. Yurtle the Turtle is now officially a Fleming after Ryan spent part of the week building him a custom backyard habitat. Yurtle has traded camp life for the good life and is already making himself right at home.Declan returned from camp on Friday with plenty of stories and memories. His favorite part of the entire week? The food. Forget the activities, games, and adventures—the camp menu earned top billing. We hear all about his experience and why he can't wait to go back.Meanwhile, Marlee took full advantage of the peaceful week by relaxing in her brand-new dipping pool before Maizee returned home from camp on Saturday. Between the pool, the date nights, and the temporary calm, it was a nice reset before the whole family was back under one roof.Join us as we talk church camp adventures, backyard turtle construction projects, kid-free week expectations versus reality, and the little moments that made this week memorable.☕ Grab your coffee and wake up with us for another episode filled with family stories, laughs, and life with the Flemings.

This week on Waking Up with Flem, the house is about to get a whole lot quieter as Maizee and Declan head off for church camp!

Will it be productive? Relaxing? A chance to catch up on life? Or just a week of wondering what the kids are doing at camp?Join us for laughs, family stories, and the usual Fleming family randomness as we wake up together and navigate another week of life.☕ New episodes of Waking Up with Flem drop weekly.
