This is not a sponsored post by any means. This is simply my praise for the gadget. We’re currently on vacation staying at my brother’s house. To say his cable is craptastic would be a compliment.

What I mean by around the corner is that it’s TWO MONTHS from today, so depending on whether you prefer to coast around the corner or take it sharply you might want to take action. I was really excited to see that Old Navy had a super adorable cupcake costume because Violet and I could [...]

Being a new parent, especially a first time parent, is challenging for almost anyone. [...]

Aloha Friday!

What is it? It originated on Island Life as a way of taking it easy on Fridays. I ask a question, I answer it, and you answer it. Pretty easy, huh? We are getting ready to head out of town to visit my family in Minnesota. I’m super excited to spend some time at home, [...]
