This one should be a quick story. Sara Bareilles is a super famous singer. My wife and I have really liked her music for a long time. And when my oldest was born the CD in the car was Sara Bareilles so we heard the songs on her first CD called Little Voice approximately 8,500... Continue Reading →
The Old Sweatshirt
I've been thinking lately about my favorite sweatshirt that I own currently. It is this navy blue quarter zip that I have had for years.

Toy Story
The wife and I got to do something really cool last week and show our kids another memory of Us. We got to show them how “we” started. If you have ever been to Disney you know it is a pretty cool place. Obviously it costs a billion dollars, but if you are doing it... Continue Reading →

Enjoy The Middle
A few years ago my brother in law took an internship in San Francisco. It was a CRAZY move by all of us back here on the East Coast. Not because we didn’t think it was awesome, it was just something we were not capable of. It was also a realization from my mother in... Continue Reading →
