Everybody Join In: On the 13th Day of Christmas, USAopoly Gave to Me…

by

Looks like it’s another Friday the 13th! And in December no less. I’m not up on my Jason horror movies (that’d be my blog buddy Kenda), but was there ever a Friday the 13th film that pitted the hockey-mask wearing serial killer against ol’ Saint Nick? Yeah, Friday the 13th, Part 13: Jason vs. Santa! I’d pay to see that one. Anyways, let’s completely switch gears and talk about happy things like bunnies, rainbows and …

Get Carton Smart this Holiday Season

by

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carton Smart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. My wife always tries to cook healthy for us when she can.

Oh yeah, and as the title character in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Then I learned …

This week we got to watch 20th Century Fox’s The Wolverine! We never saw this one in theaters, so I was pumped when I was sent a Blu-ray copy of the film to review! Jason couldn’t wait either and Ryan …

A Night of Ice Skating Leads to a Sushi Feast

ice skating

Last week when it was, what, like 40 degrees out, Ryan picked tennis as our family activity.  It’s tough to say no (even when it’s freezing out) if your kid asks you to do something that’s physically active. So this week, it’s even colder. Closer to 30 degrees or so. And thankfully for this weekend’s family activity, we got to be indoors. Whew. But yeah, we ended up going ice skating! There’s a nice ice …
