Get Your Kids Off the Couch and Outside to Exercise – Zamzee Review & Giveaway

January 13, 2015August 23, 2012 by Andrew Kardon

You’d think with all the video games my kids play, that they’d each weigh 600 pounds by now. But if you ever watch Jason play the Wii, you’d see why he actually loses weight playing video games. He just never stops moving! But in general, my kids hate the outside. They’re just not into sports and other than drawing mazes on the driveway with chalk, they couldn’t care less about breathing in the fresh air. …

Our Annual Family Trip to Woodloch Pines in the Poconos Rocked As Usual

August 22, 2012 by Andrew Kardon

This past weekend, my family packed up the car and headed to Hawley, Pennsylvania for a mini vacation. This marks the third year in a row that we visited Woodloch Pines with my wife’s entire family (her two sisters’ families and my in-laws). It’s basically four days of campy fun for eight adults and seven kids. Thankfully the weather was near perfect. It rained just once, on Monday for about half the day. But other …

8 Reasons Why Being Your Own Boss Isn’t the Greatest Job in the World

Anyways, besides the straight-up obvious salary part of working for someone else, there …

Sweep the Leg! Why the Karate Kid Still Rules!

August 13, 2012August 12, 2012 by Andrew Kardon

Last night was Family Movie Night in our house. I offered the boys a choice of either The Last Airbender or the original 1980’s classic The Karate Kid. Let’s just say… they chose wisely. I wasn’t sure if they’d be bored for most of the movie or not, since the actual awesome training and karate stuff doesn’t happen until about halfway through the film. But from the moment it started, they were pretty much glued …

What Does a Daddy Blogger Eat?

August 8, 2012 by Andrew Kardon

I had so much fun doing the 5 Things You Would Learn About Me if You Walked Through My House blog carnival that Trisha from MomDot started, that I couldn’t wait to jump on it again! Apparently Trisha felt the same way, since she posted a new one today, offering a look inside her fridge and pantry. The rules are simple: no staging allowed! Just quick photos of your refrigerator, freezer, or pantry. Sounds good to me, …
