We took a trip to San Francisco earlier this month and took a lot of photos. This is one of the shots I loved from the trip. Mr. Dude, our two-year-old, enjoyed our visit to the beach and was enthralled with the wet sand. This is a photo that I liked in color, but thought I'd use my desktop install of Photoshop to turn into black and white.
Today is #NationalOatmealDay and I'm giving away 10 Quaker® Off You Go Moments Kits over the next week. Will you be a winner? Enter to find out.
Stride Rite is releasing a limited edition adult sneaker with a mini-me companion sneaker style inspired by the original Stride Rite joggers from the 1980’s.
Graco is among my favorite baby brands. I was delighted to run a stroller giveaway a few weeks ago and we surprised by the response I got. Thankfully Graco is allowing me to run a second stroller giveaway for my readers. This time, it’s for a Graco Pace™ Click Connect™ Travel System. This is not only a stroller, but a car seat as well.
Carving a pumpkin is an annual ritual at our house. I’m not the artistic type, but I have fun doing it. This year, Mr. Dude also really enjoyed being part of the process. Check out how much fun he had by watching the video below:...
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I’m a fan of all of the candy, apple orchards, corn mazes, haunted houses, and most importantly scary movies. Netflix has an impressive list of frightening movies this time of year and I've put together a list of my favorites.
The Toshiba Satellite Radius™ 12 started from a dead power off to login screen in between 5-7 seconds in my unscientific tests. I love this PC.
We traveled to California in early October 2015 and really enjoyed ourselves.
I have not worn a tuxedo since I got married almost ten years ago. It made my toddler uncomfortable.
I only recently realised what a fan of Simon Pegg I really am. Four of the six of these movies I only found out that he'd done thanks to Netflix. I can't pick a favorite but really enjoyed watching all of them. This list is a mix of adventure, hilariousness, seriousness, soul searching and a bit of violence. Don't watch these with the kids around, but make sure to enjoy them.
One of the reasons I love my wife is her spontaneity. Thanks to her we got to ride Chicago's Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier one last time before it closed for good.
I got married a week before YouTube launched and over a year before the first iPhone was released to the public. Let that sink in for a minute. My world in 2006 was just starting to use Facebook. Putting together a wedding registry on your own now is a monstrous undertaking. Best Buy, however, is making the wedding registry task easier than ever!

I have a bunch of fond memories of being a kid. Each and every one of them have one or two elements that are always present. These positive memories all have either food and/or friendship as a major part of them. Help me raise $500 for the No Kid Hungry campaign this money and help kids get those happy and well fed memories this month!
Chicago is full of places for families to spend time together all year round. There are free outdoor movie nights put on by the city, lots of parks that are kid friendly, and a whole bevy of kid friendly stores. Out of all of the options three of our favorite places to spend time as a family include:
Fisher Nut Exactly® snack bites have been recently released by Fisher® nuts. They sent me a bag and I love them. Each snack bite is only 15 calories and includes chocolate, popcorn and almond. It has no artificial preservatives and comes in four varieties!
We spent a few days in Indianapolis recently visiting friends and spending some time away from our everyday lives. There is so much to look at we spent the whole day there and didn't see everything. Mr. Dude, our two-year-old, had an absolute blast!
My wife, son and I met up with my wife's mom at the county fair for the day last weekend. It's an annual tradition that normally brings a larger group of family together, but was enjoyable just the same. I brought the new LG G4 Smartphone with me and shot a little video watching my son observe and interact with the world around him.
