This year’s #CheeriosChallenge returned with a fantastic twist to it. Not only were we encouraging dads around the world to share pictures of their stacking skills with us, but we were rewarding three families with a trip to Mall of America, provided by the awesome people at Cheerios and General [...]
This Father’s Day is a special one for me as I get to celebrate my tenth year of being a dad. If we look at traditional gifting etiquette for a 10-year anniversary, I should receive something that is made out of aluminum or tin. Or now in modern times the [...]
I work from home which is simultaneously amazing and mind numbingly claustrophobic. Obviously the benefits outweigh the downsides by a landslide. I have an 18’ commute to my office.
