Don’t Waste Your Photos on Instagram

May 31, 2019

My phone is full of photos and it’s a huge waste. Back when I bought my phone, I chose that specific device because it had the best camera of them all. For the times when I want to take extra special photos, I take my camera with me and use that instead. Once the photos are taken, I edit them and upload them to my Dropbox or Google Drive. But then I leave them. My wife has been making photo books, which all look beautiful, but after being shown around, end up on the shelf. So ...

5 Dads Go Wild, Brand Love

Only 4 Months Until #5DadsGoWild and I’m Not Ready

May 27, 2019

The 5dads go wild trip is something I look forward to all year. In fact, I think about it at least once every day. In brief, it’s a camping trip where 5 BC-based Dad Bloggers, Vloggers, and Content Creators meet up and spend a little time away from their day-to-day lives and ...

A Keurig Morning (and a giveaway!)

May 17, 2019

It’s early morning and I’m the only one awake, for now. It’s still dark outside and I’m walking softly across the kitchen floor. I don’t want to wake the rest of the family as these are just a few, precious, quiet moments before the day begins. First things, first. Coffee. I open up my Keurig ...

Giving Feels Good – with Catelli

April 24, 2019

I consider myself really lucky in that my family has food on the table. Sadly, there are a surprising amount of people across Canada who don’t have access to food as often as they should. I know that when I was living in London there were a few times where I would skip meals to make my limited ...

2019 Honda Pilot Touring – Test Drive and Review

April 16, 2019

I love that I get to try new cars and I’m always looking for a suitable replacement for our modest family car, a 2015 Ford Focus. The 2019 Honda Pilot Touring was admittedly not on my list of eye-catching family-sized SUVs. From the outside, it seems solid, attractive enough, but not ...

The Best New Things from the Home & Housewares Show

March 3, 2019

I’m at the trade-only International Home and Housewares show in the very chilly Chicago. Sellers, inventors, big brands, and up-and-comers are all showing off their ideas. I’ve walked the floor, blasted through my step-goals for the weekend and have picked a few awesome products to ...

The 2019 Phrase We all Need on Repeat

January 15, 2019

Last night, as I was talking to my wife she said something that made me reconsider how I think and talk about myself. She said “You’ve been putting yourself down for years and it’s not helping. Try saying some nice things.” It’s true. I have. I often think about ...

My ‘New Me’ Shopping List

December 19, 2018

I know that you don't technically need to buy anything to lose weight, reach a personal goal, or spend time on self-care, but I've always found that having a reminder on my wrist, a new pair of running shoes, or even a water bottle for the gym will encourage and inspire me to keep going and get ...
