Our family got to visit Chicago’s original immersive art and technology experience located in the city’s West Loop neighborhood: the WNDR Museum.
Most four-year-olds are inquisitive and adventurous little creatures. My son is no exception. He loves to climb on, under, in, and around basically everything. It’s a good thing my wife and I are not planning on having any more children too. I wake up more mornings to a swift kick...
Newborn photography is tricky. There are so many photographers in the Chicago area it can be hard to know who...
We got to spend the day at Santa's Village in East Dundee, IL as a family earlier this summer. It was the first time any of us had been there. Let me just say, we had so much fun we'll be sure to go back!

Remember when I got to go visit Dreamworks Animation studios? Beyond seeing Voltron I got to meet with the awesome creative team behind Dreamworks Home: Adventures with Tip & Oh.
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!
We spent Thanksgiving Day up in Wisconsin with family on the lake. The day involved playing football, beer sampling, lots of food, and video games. It is great to see everyone together under one roof for a few hours. I feel blessed to have the people in my life that...
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:
And it honestly went better than expected! We’re schooling from home due to the pandemic like millions of other families...
Yes we had breakfast for dinner. I am not ashamed to say so. In all honesty, I love eating breakfast at all times of the day and night. The delicious new Denny's Diner pancake stacks are 50 percent more fluffy than the old recipe. I can totally believe this having seen and tasted them first hand.

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’ve joined the Netflix #StreamTeam and have been compensated for writing this post. The childhood that my son is experiencing...
Today is one of those special days. Not because anything monumental happened in our lives today. It is because of a fun little bit of math about what happened a few years ago. Wes turned 2,018 days old today. And if you’re reading this at some point down the road…...
Back when we thought we still had some time to prepare for our second child's arrival we had a maternity photo shoot with Victoria Beauchamp of Hera's Gift.
Those early days of fatherhood with my first were such a change from the child-free days. My priorities flipped. Beautiful moments are happening all around us and he taught be to focus on them more. He was so little. My first mini me.
