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
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
I grew up a football fan. From the time I could walk, I had a football in my hand, helmet on my head. I played football growing up, and throughout high school I played quarterback for a division 1 California high school. Now that I can officially confirm my ineligibility for the
In case you haven’t heard, we bought a house! It’s the first home we’ve owned, and we couldn’t be more thrilled. The last several weeks have been filled with planning and designing, and dreaming of how this new home will shape our lives moving forward. But before we relocate (about 2 miles
It’s been several years since I dug into some old family recipes, and with the weather frigid and unforgiving, I figured what better time than now to make one of my all-time favorites from growing up: homestyle southern chili. One thing that I realized growing up was that we always ate our
It’s funny when I think about how I’ve changed since becoming a father a few years ago. I find myself attached to more and more hobbies and interests that I enjoyed when I was growing up. One of those is my love for video games. Specifically two player competitive games. My father
We’re just over a third of the way into 2018 – and what a year it has been! Tons of changes, including a move across the country, our little kid growing up right before our eyes, and brand new experiences as we finally get into spring – for real this time. Now
I was born and raised in Southern California. It could be argued that I grew up on carne asada burritos and carnitas almost exclusively. And I have to admit that true, authentic Mexican food is something that I miss since moving out East. To be fair, I haven’t tried much of the
To say that the first quarter of 2018 has been one of significant change would be an extreme understatement. Our family and my own personal life has gone through a roller coast of new experiences, opportunities, and even reflection on the last three years since our son was born. I’ve never been
My new favorite acronym for 2018 is NOSH (Natural, Organic, Specialty, and Healthy foods) and has been floating around in my head for the last couple weeks. I know it’s cliche to talk about eating healthier and being more financially responsible to start a new year, but I can’t help but feel
There were two days growing up that I looked forward to more than anything. First, obviously is Christmas morning (especially since Santa didn’t wrap gifts at my house so I would clothesline myself turning the corner to our living room with the explosion of toys, race tracks and XTREME skate gear. Second,
I have to admit, I have always been the antithesis of a regularly scheduled, daily routined individual. I spent half a decade touring the world and playing music – waking up in a new city every day, no real plans or commitments unless it was on our daily schedule sheet or booked
