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.
Disclaimer: Ferrara Candy Company compensated me for the creation and sharing of this post. We attended Boo! at the Zoo for the second year in a row this year. It was held at Brookfield Zoo on the last two weekends in October and sponsored by Ferrara Candy Company. Last year we were dressed up as Angry Birds. […]
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 years ago with our oldest […]
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!
Our midwest tradition of visiting an apple orchard and corn maze continued this year. You might have noticed in yesterday’s post that Wes is a BIG fan of Super Mario. The moment we found out that there was a Super Mario themed corn maze near-ish us we knew a visit would be required. Interested in […]
We got to visit the Super Mario Odyssey Tour Stop in Chicago on Saturday at Navy Pier. There were hundreds of people in attendance that waited their turn for a chance to play the new game. This sneak peak was a crowd pleaser. Many even got their photo taken with none other than Mario himself. Including […]
One of the fun things we got to do this past summer was test out a couple of recipes from a review copy of Treat Yourself!: How to Make 93 Ridiculously Fun No-Bake Crispy Rice Treats by Jessica Siskin. It was published by Workman in August 2017. The book is full of over 300 pages worth […]
Editor’s Note: Netflix no longer offers the Birthday On-Demand service. If you’re a parent, you know that kid’s birthday parties are super complicated. There is so much to worry about when planning a party. Supplying allergy-free treats for classmates, Pinterest decoration fails, invites, cooking, rentals, gifts, favors and more! It can all be just too much. Don’t […]
