I slept fairly well last night. Wes was only up once and Theo was a minimal amount of fussy once...
I was skeptical about the Trolls movie before I saw it the first time. I then fell in love with the whole idea (music and all) once I saw it. Dreamworks found a magic formula that worked with audiences around the globe. I think they've done it again with the new animated series on Netflix. Just take a look at the opening credits...
What are you doing to make life more bearable for you, your family, and even complete strangers?
One of the things that got me through those first several months each go around was an understanding that I didn't completely understand what my sons were going through.

I’d wanted to start a podcast of my own for years, but never took steps to do it myself. Thanks to my phone, Adobe Audition, WordPress, and the Seriously Simple Podcasting plugin I started one.

Back in the mid-1990s, I learned that startling someone is not the best way to teach them how not to do something. And by "someone" I mean my dad. And by "mid-1990s" I mean like 6th-grade or so.
Emmy-Winning Netflix original series DreamWorks Trollhunters is the first installment of three-part epic from DreamWorks Animation Television.
I got a copy of The LEGO Ninjago Movie in the mail last month to review. It was actually pretty funny. The whole movie is basically one big sarcastic joke after another. Plenty of fun for kids and lots of witty banter for adults.
New Year's Eve celebrations come in all kinds of styles. I've had two very different sets of experiences on New Year's Eve that can be clearly split into before and after kids.
You might remember us going to Navy Pier as a family back in October to meet Super Mario. Mr. Dude has been wanting to play Super Mario Odyssey™ at our home ever since. Luckily, Mario must have remembered us because he sent us a Nintendo Switch - Gray Joy-Con for Christmas! We knew ahead of time, but it was a surprise to Wes.

Abigail recently visited her 50th US state. That state was North Dakota. We’ve been meaning to go up there for a while but the right opportunity took a while to show itself. Then it finally did! Subaru lent us the new 2018 Forester for a week to get a feel for the vehicle. They specifically said there was no mileage limit so we took them at their word. Hello 1,600-mile road trip from Chicago, IL to Fargo, ND, with a few stops in between.
Best Buy has some of the coolest tech gifts around this holiday season. The DJI Mavic Pro, for example, is the best 4K drone on the market right now when you take cost, features, and support into account.

It is an annual tradition for us to carve a pumpkin around Halloween every year. Same as many other families. My talent in this area is subpar at best. I do enjoy it though. Our kids also seem to be interested in the whole process. We’ve done this on video two...
The wait is finally OVER! Season two of "Stranger Things" has hit Netflix and it was worth the wait. There are other must-watch Halloween related entertainment titles on Netflix as well. Check out the list below and let me know what you think!
We took the new Venture 45-Quart Cooler with us on a 1,600-mile road trip to Fargo, ND. You know, to break it in and see how it would work for a family of 4. It let us bring everything we needed to keep cool for our week long trip without needing to restock food, drink or ice!
