Sometimes people hesitate to give gift cards as gifts. They don’t want the recipient to think no thought went into the gift, but I love receiving gift cards. They are like mini-shopping sprees (or major, depending on the amount & how savvy of a shopper you are!). Gift cards also give me the chance to [...]
Fumbling around, “I think I turn here” . . . CLUNK . . . “Owwwww, my head!” Turn and reach . . . BANG . . . @#$!&^! . . . my foot! My wife might think this is a re-enactment of our first dance on our wedding day, but no, it is me [...]
It’s everyone favorite time of year. The end of January. Spring is right around the corner and staring at us in the face are those fitness and health related New Year’s resolutions we made a little over 3 weeks ago. I always feel a combination of excitement and dread this time of year. I know [...]
Like most adults in the world, I love coffee. Black coffee, flavored coffee, plain coffee with flavored creamer, lattes, mochas, I love them all. However, I have a sad confession – I can’t make coffee to save my life. I can’t get the right ratio of water to coffee grounds. It always ends up tasting [...]
Last year we bought a few Aqua-Leisure Racer Snow Tubes and have been waiting for just the right amount of now to use them. As we patiently waited for the snow to fall in Cleveland, we received the Aqua-Leisure Double Snow Tube. After waiting for just the right amount of snow and a house free [...]
Will you be attending an blog conference soon? Have you considered passing out postcards printed with your blog and contact information? Postcards are important to have on hand at a conference instead of business cards because their size makes them stand out and therefore they are easy to read and remember. Bloggers and brands you [...]
Tired Dad Dave and I both have iPhones and we have an iPod as well. We have charging cords plugged in throughout the house and they look so ugly snaking out from the walls and dangling from the computer. I was happy when this problem was solved for us recently by the Powermat. It’s a [...]
I hope your enjoying the holidays as much as we are. Kora and Logan are so excited! They are counting down the days until Christmas on two different calendars, they’ve seen Santa twice, and they are singing carols left and right. It’s all too cute and has really helped me get into the spirit of [...]
I’ve always been a huge fan of CafePress.com and can while away many minutes on the site. I used CafePress not long ago to design a sweatshirt and it’s now one of my favorite things to wear during this chilly Cleveland winter (as I’m writing this, my outdoor thermometer says it’s 14 degrees outside!). Since [...]
When I was pregnant with Kora and then again with Logan, we were invited to weddings – both times. I remember frantically trying to find a cute, but budget-friendly maternity dress, twice. Each time, I needed one that I could wear as a wedding guest and also the other upcoming dressy events we had. I [...]
Kora and Logan are really into the holidays this year and this just might be the year they have an “Unwrap Attack.” What’s an Unwrap Attack? Remember when you were little and you could hardly wait for Christmas to get here? Every day you asked, “How many more days?” and with that exasperated look, your [...]

When Tired Dad Dave and I were in college, we had a friend who had crazy curly hair -while it’s not her, her hair did look a lot like the picture at the left. She was Italian and her hair was so curly she would often have to use a straightening solution on it but [...]
While staying at my parents house over Thanksgiving last week, I sat down with a box of old photos from holidays past and reminisced. I enjoyed looking through all of the family photos and seeing how much everyone had changed. One thing that stuck out to me the most in all of the photos (aside [...]

Picky eaters. They sure can make life difficult, can’t they? Kora went through it for awhile and while it was rough, it didn’t last too long. Unfortunately, Logan is still there. Some days he”s willing to try something new and other days he won’t even look at something new. When I heard about Marie Callender’s [...]

Have you ever been to a blogging conference? I haven’t, but I’m hoping that will change soon. I’ve heard such wonderful things about the Blissdom Conferences in the past that I have my sights set on their Blissdom ’11 in Nashville, TN taking place January 27th and 28th, 2011. While attending a conference may be [...]
