The other day I had one of those moments that I am pretty sure most of us have had at some point. I was getting ready for an event, and for whatever reason, my brain decided it was time to go into full overthinking mode. Not a little thinking. I am talking about the kind […]

I have worn glasses my entire life. No big deal as they have been part of my look longer than my wife’s hairstyle has stayed consistent (I’m going to get it for that one 😉). But over the last five or six years something showed up that I was not exactly excited to talk about.

Roughly fifteen years ago, I got a front-row seat to something that taught me a lesson I still lean on today. My oldest son played competitive high school tennis. And when I say competitive, I mean the kind where parents pretend they’re calm while internally doing Olympic-Level stress breathing in the bleachers. He was good.

We are a “to do list” type of family! We have a list for everything, and I must credit this to my wife. We are extremely busy, and we are involved in a lot of activities. If we are not organized in some way, things will get missed. We really do have a list for
One of the great things about owning your own online business and getting to work from home is that you get to control your environment. You get to control what snacks are in the break room (a.k.a. your kitchen), you don’t have to label your lunch in the break room refrigerator (again, your kitchen), your

When I was a kid, I used to eat whatever and whenever I wanted. I was active by playing with my friends, siblings and playing sports. I seemed to burn up calories without even trying. Not to mention my metabolism was off the scale. Mealtime with family and friends was more than just fuel for
