Ryan has become obsessed with the iPad app called iMovie. He uses it to make movie trailers and 15-minute videos of himself playing Minecraft as he explains what’s happening.

Muggle of the Year Award Goes to Alice Finch and Her Massive Lego Hogwarts

Alice and Hogwarts

I’m a fan of Harry Potter. Great books. Awesome story. Decent movie series. I’m also a fan of Legos. That’s why I’m higher than a Golden Snitch after looking at this insane custom creation from Seattle-based Alice Finch. Alice earned her wizarding stripes by putting together a massive, as in ginormous, Lego Hogwarts set. It [...]

Kraft Mac & Cheese

Like all good children in the world, my kids love macaroni and cheese. Ryan more so than Jason. Jason will eat pretty much any macaroni and cheese without complaint.

Lil' Griddles Original

When I was growing up, weekends were just the best. Okay, well, that certainly still holds true. But what I mean is, I loved waking up on a Saturday to the smell of my mom warming up the griddle. She didn’t do it every weekend, but probably a few times a month, my mom would [...]
