BeachBody made 43, the new 23!
I’ve had a few people reach out to me asking about BeachBody, what I like about it and how it’s working for me. I want to start by saying that I don’t get any sort of discount if others sign up and I’m certainly not bragging it up for any sort of perks, I promise!... Continue Reading →
Happy 18th Birthday Caile!
I love looking and thinking back to your many birthday parties over the years. Your interests have changed each year and it’s funny to think that your first school party was a reptile one. There is no way you’d choose that now. 🙂 You also had parties at the trains, painting at Clayground, pool parties... Continue Reading →

19 Years of Loving & Missing You!
After Brianna’s passing I took a short leave from work. I’ll never forget my first few days back. It was awkward… people had no idea what to say to me and more than anything I didn’t want to talk about it. I was certainly in a place where I just wanted to ignore everything that...

Half a Year Gone by in a Blink
I started my parental leave from Automattic back in February. I was nervous, excited, anxious... lots of emotions. I didn't know if I would keep busy enough, I was worried I wouldn't have enough interactions with people above the age of 2 and I wasn't sure how to "best" use my time. It didn't take...

Extra Weight… Extra Muscle!
For years I’ve wanted to start some sort of fitness program or exercise routine, but I just didn’t push forward and do it. Then I finally felt like I needed to get my butt in gear… no more excuses. I was lucky that while I had Covid my symptoms were mild, but after recovery, I... Continue Reading →
Why Birthday’s are the Best!
I’ve loved my birthday for as long as I can remember. I also love other peoples birthdays, but when it’s your own, it’s even more special. Just think back over your life and imagine how different things would be if you didn’t exist, if you were never born. Many people would be affected in some... Continue Reading →
Dance With Your Heart & Your Feet Will Follow
When Caile was a toddler we started the discussion about what activity we wanted to start her in. My brother and I had taken piano for 14-15 years, starting when we were 3 and I saw so many benefits, especially involving memory throughout the years. Dance was always very appealing to me since memory development... Continue Reading →
Year Of Joy
During my team's final hangout of 2021 we talked about New Years Resolutions. One of my team members said that he really likes the generalized "Year of..." themes and explained a bit about why. It had me thinking back to my Year of Yes and the mind set I had that year. I didn't necessarily... Continue Reading →
March Break Fun
A few years ago I took March Break off for the first time and we drove to Toronto. It was pretty awesome. It was my first time in Toronto and despite it being Winter we fit in a lot of the top tourist stops. We also watched our first NBA game, which was a win... Continue Reading →
