It's summer and I have "travel" on my mind. That, and "adventure." Perhaps that's why we've been going on long-ish family hikes, tentatively planning a trip to Washington State, and dreaming about going on a camping trip (soon!). If you're vacationing or road-tripping this summer, I wanted to be sure and tell you about Marriott's FREE […]
SLY Award recipient Nicole Bateman is a runner and fitness enthusiast. She might contest the "enthusiast" part, but...no one can argue that she is committed to staying healthy and fit. This year, she set a goal to run in 3 5Ks and she's already run in two (Actually, one of them was a 5-miler! Woot!). […]
Every since this bag arrived, I can't help but say, "ZÜCA, ZÜCA, ZÜCA" all around the house. Try it. It's a fun word to say. Even more fun?

Tim can fix most anything. Flat tires. Leaky faucets. Broken Toys. Bad Days. If you need someone to help you with a project, he's your guy. I have no idea how he knows how to lay flagstone, install watering systems, use a jackhammer and a table saw, etc. - he just does. As you can […]
Tim's typical "uniform" is jeans and a dress shirt - for most anywhere we go. I like his "signature style" a lot (he'd never call it that, by the way...but it is what it is). He looks put-together, professional, and down-to-earth - all at the same time. One of his favorites shirts is the Newport […]
For reasons unbeknownst to me, most men like knives, guns, and other weapons. Tim, for example, was super excited when a box labeled Gerber arrived at our doorstep.
