Playing With Toys

Matthew — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 02:25:51 +0000

I love toys…and that should come as a surprise to no one. That being said, I never realized how much I love them until I watched my kiddos play with my collection of Fisher Price Adventure People this past weekend. And while they came nowhere near enjoying them as much as Cory and I did [...]

World Cup Fever

Matthew — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 16:49:48 +0000

So I have to admit that I am finding myself getting completely wrapped up in the World Cup. Whether it’s watching the games live on my computer, or reading the wrap-ups from the games I missed, I just can’t seem to get enough of this event. Also, it has been great to see Cameron getting [...]

There’s Monkeys On Our Site!

Matthew — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 15:46:35 +0000

This is a very special week for Ellie at school, as she was chosen to be the “Monkey of the Week”! Now, to the uninformed, that might sound a little confusing – but don’t underestimate the excitement this title can create. All weekend long Ellie was super-excited to get back to school on Monday. So…just [...]

Anyone Looking To Gain Weight?

Matthew — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 20:18:32 +0000

Yes? Well you’re in luck! It’s that special time of year where you can put down that 100 Calorie pack, shove that newly-created diet in the drawer, throw the scale in the trash and bust out the sweatpants. That’s right…it’s time to buy one of the last legal drugs Girl Scout Cookies from my darling daughter!! [...]

My Favorite Christmas Book

Matthew — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:19:54 +0000

One of the best parts of the Christmas season is all the wonderful books and movies that we only get to watch and read for one month out of the year. While there are a number of movies that are a ‘must’ each season…there is only ONE book that I absolutely have to read at [...]

A Change Of Plans

Matthew — Wed, 27 May 2009 14:42:28 +0000

So after a much needed break from blogging – we’ll call it a ‘blogatical’ – I thought I would go ahead and offer a bit of an explanation. I could easily blame the brief absence from the blogging world on the fact things have been hectic with graduations, family visiting, school, work, etc. – but [...]

Website Spotlight: I Dare You Not To Laugh

Matthew — Thu, 14 May 2009 04:24:50 +0000

From time to time I stumble across a website that is just too good to be true. Rather than keep them to myself, I thought I would start sharing them on my website so everyone can enjoy them. So without further ado, I present to you my ‘Website Spotlight’… In the past 6 days I [...]

A Princess Bride Post? As You Wish.

Matthew — Tue, 05 May 2009 04:46:14 +0000

This past weekend was a rite of passage for Cameron and Ellie, as they were officially introduced to one of the best movies ever made: The Princess Bride! It’s true…my love for this movie is strong, and while I don’t dress as the Dread Pirate Roberts when I sit down to watch it, I do [...]

Feel Good Friday #3

Matthew — Fri, 01 May 2009 06:17:28 +0000

Yeeeeeehaw! Put another week in the books…and say goodbye to April at the same time. There sure were lots of big news stories this week, highlighted of course by the Swine Flu…sorry, I mean “H1N1 Influenza A“. Hopefully everyone is feeling tip-toppy and ready to dive into another edition of Feel Good Friday! Come on [...]
