Ah, Christmas. In childhood, it all seems so magical: Santa, crafts, and homemade Christmas cookies. But as an adult, you realize just how much work it is to pull off all that holiday cheer. You have to create the...

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. But one big effort I have been making these past few weeks is working hard to stop multitasking. And with good reason. How many times has this happened to you? You manage to...

Green Bay may have a small town feel but as I look around I notice the big city problems. I see the man on the freezing street looking for a little food. Do I pretend I don't notice him? Thoughts immediately enter my head. I really should stop. But what if it isn't safe? It's a busy road, lots of people would see if something happened...

The double stroller fits without issue, even on nights when we have to pack up the baseball equipment, cooler, and lawn chairs. This vehicle by far has more bells and whistles than any other we've ever had.  Leather interior, navigation, dvd player, and it rides incredibly smooth. But, I don't love it. In fact, when I drive my bare-bones, base model 10 year-old GMC Acadia, I savor it.
