10 Summer Outdoor Activities The kids are finally out of school and enjoying their playtime outside. I know the “I’m bored” responses are going to be headed my way soon... so I thought I’d share a few summer outdoor activities I suggest to my own kids to get them off the couch. 1.

I have tried several different hard floor cleaning options over the past five years. The two I always end up going back to is a vacuum and … [Read more...]

I am not perfect by any means and I have been known to allow the occasional indulgence, but … [Read more...]

The day finally came when the Cyclone arrived at our house, he couldn't wait to set it up and take a spin. There was some assembly required which only … [Read more...]
