What a year 2020 has been, right? It’s hard to believe that summer is already upon us. And while we have been keeping ourselves isolated, we’ve still been trying to get creative with activities and meals. With the new house, we’ve spent several warm(ish) days outside running, playing tag, and just having
It’s time to talk about WiFi. I remember a time before home networking was really a thing. Back when dial-up internet access ruled the land. It was horrible. Over the years, broadband became more widespread, and wireless networking technology advanced leaps and bounds. The problem is that most people get stuck with
It was quite a unique April in our household. I’ve been getting to know every nook and cranny of our new home, and we’ve been working on getting creative with our extra spare time. That means lots of crafts, cooking, and video games. While I do work as a full time designer
Growing up, I always had an affinity towards language. The fact that people around the world communicate in all different languages got my gears turning even as a young child. My parents both worked in the newspaper and magazine industry, so it was natural for me to gravitate towards communication in my
Over the last several weeks, I’ve found myself going through old travel photos and reminiscing on times that exploring the world didn’t seem quite so impossible. Exactly six years ago Sara and I spent a week and a half exploring Japan. It’s a trip that I miss every day but mostly because
A week ago I shared a photo to my Instagram that was half quirky, half serious regarding what has become a reality for people around the world. We were about a week into our self-imposed quarantine and everything just felt odd. The danger was on the horizon, and everyone seemed to be
For my entire life, if you asked me what my favorite food is, I would emphatically exclaim “CEREAL!” I just love the crunch, the milk, the sweetness, and, most importantly, how easy it is to throw a bowl together. I will argue up and down that there is not a better combination
In the fast and wild world of child-rearing, you have to constantly be on your toes. Those little guys are changing faster than you realize. As soon as Charlie gets into a rhythm, he’s on his way out of it. And then they start crawling…and walking…and then it’s all over. Luckily, there
In 2017 when the Nintendo Switch launched, I was in a very different place in my life. My son Fox had just turned 2 years old, we were living on an extremely tight budget in Los Angeles, and free time was essentially nonexistent. I had my Xbox One from before Fox’s birth,
I was 7 the first time I got frustrated in class because I was having trouble seeing the whiteboard from most areas of the room. I didn’t realize that my eyes were worse than the other kids because I had nothing to reference – I had assumed that it must have been
I know buying gifts for men is difficult. Everything I drool over is often way out of our budget or completely impractical (or both). This holiday, I’m talking about several products that span the spectrum from stylish to useful, and won’t break the bank. Casio G-SHOCK Adrenalin Red Series GA700AR-1A Over the last
So as I’ve talked about in my last several articles… we bought a house! It’s a gorgeous midcentury split level home and is perfect for raising our family. Great schools, quiet neighborhood, good bones, updated features, etc. And the yard is gorgeous. Well maintained, just big enough but not too big, it’s
