Family Movie Night: The Wolverine

The Wolverine DVD action figures

I have some bad news for you guys. Sadly, we didn’t have Friday Night Family Movie Night this week. Nope. Instead, we had Saturday Night Family Movie Night! (Oh, I’m just so witty, aren’t I?)

Jason couldn’t wait either and Ryan …

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.

The answer is yes. …

In this life, I’ve found that there are two types of mayonnaise people: Those who like it and those who hate it. That is, I thought there were only two types until I met my future (and now current) father-in-law. Allie’s dad doesn’t just like mayonnaise, he loves it. But he doesn’t just love it, he downright worships it I’d say. Need an example? Last year when my in-laws took a trip to Spain, the one …

Vukee’s Photobook App Easily Turns Holiday Memories Into Beautiful Books

If you’re like me, you take a lot of photos. Whether it’s your phone, your iPad or an actual digital camera. People still use those, right? For the most part, my iPhone is my all-seeing camera and I use it to snap in-the-moment pics of anything and everything around me. We just had the whole family over for Thanksgiving (and Thanksgivukkah!) so I didn’t go get out the awesome Canon Rebel SLR that I bought …
