It’s been said over and over, drilled into our brains for the last 9 months – 2020 was a crazy year. If you’re like me, you’re beyond ready to focus on the future and everything that I am looking forward to next year. I have some big plans, and lots of goals
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
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
I’ve probably written over a dozen times about my one true love: snacks. All kinds of snacks, too. When it comes to bite-sized foods, I am an equal opportunity snacker. I attribute my love of snacking to my lowered appetite at mealtime, which prevents overeating, and my general increase in energy throughout
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
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
It’s been quite a whirlwind in our home as the summer of 2017 winds down. Fox has started preschool, work is picking up, travel is planned, and it seems like days and weeks are just flying by before I even notice them. In my head, it still feels like July, not like
I’m still getting used to this whole “being a father” thing. So much so that I almost have a sense of “imposter syndrome” when it comes to Father’s Day. My son is only two so all of the gifts he’s gotten me thus far are insanely adorable projects brought to life by
If any of my articles over the last year show something about me, it’s that there are two things that I truly love: candy and gadgets. This obviously pertains to the former and is crucial if you have a similar taste (or even occasional cravings for delicious snacks. First, we all know that
I have to admit it. I’m not the handiest of men. I can build things here and there, but my talents definitely lie on the technical side of tinkering (electronics, computers, speakers, etc). I often sport a beard – sometimes intentionally, sometimes out of sheer laziness. I have often been seen sporting
Mid-March to early April is always one of my favorite times of the year. The insanity of the NCAA basketball tournament seems to permeate everyday life. Productivity at workplaces across the country slows to a crawl, and casual basketball fans turn into maniacs for their alma mater or favorite college team. Brackets are
