Christmas is one of my favorite holidays, with the lights, the tree, inflatables, and peppermint everything makes it magical. As a dad, seeing the kids get excited about Christmas every year is just as great. One thing we’ve neglected over the years is decorating a lot of the inside of the house because at least […]

Garage Storage Can be A Bear
When we moved into our current house, we noticed a huge thing was missing: Storage. We had a small 8 foot by 3 foot closet and that was about it. But having two adults, two kids, (on on the way now) we have accumulated a lot of stuff. Most of the stuff we have is […]
