Welp it’s that time of year again. The weather is warm, the birds are chirping, and the dads are getting restless from being stuck indoors for the last several months. That’s right, it’s Father’s Day, every wife’s panic season. And for good reason, guys are hard to buy for; I know I
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 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.

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
It’s not a frequent occurrence for me to get serious on this site. Often I talk about the joys of raising a family or products that I’m into, but every once in a while something important comes along that deserves an earnest discussion and I like to use my platform to help
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
