Wrapping up our Chicago portion of the trip and now for an Indiana/Ohio/Michigan adventure! Chicago was great, weather was perfect and I’m sad to leave…as always.
I’ve fallen into the Aaron Sorkin trap, again
I just love all television shows written by Aaron Sorkin and I’ve finally figured out why: Sports Night: Show about the behind-the-scenes of producing a daily sports television show. Main character, female executive producer of television show. She has this “thing” with another main character on the show, who also happens to anchor the sports…
Brendan’s Top 10 Life Events
My little baby boy is 10 years old today. It’s pretty emotional for me. Ten is a big deal. Double-digits. Two hands. We’ve always used “ten” as the thing in our house. As in…”you can get a cell phone when you’re ten…” “you can stay home alone when you’re ten”…”you can play Call of Duty…
Minecraft Crafting
I have a love/hate relationship with birthday parties. I get really excited and pin 800 different ideas on my Pinterest boards. And then I have anxiety for weeks before the event trying to make all the things. It’s awesome, scary and exhausting. We have having a small party for my son’s 10th birthday. In exchange…
Tour de France – Spin Style
I’m sitting here watching the final stage of the Tour de France wondering to myself why it’s not on a network tv channel. It’s been on NBC Sports this year, which is great…but still. More people need to watch this amazing event. I know the Tour took a lot of heat for all the doping…
Birthday Party
A great birthday party with Creeper cake pops! Here’s a picture recap. Can’t believe my little man is 10 years old!

Coke Zero 400 racing at Daytona
One of the many great things about living in Florida, getting the chance to go to a NASCAR race. The great thing about it, you don’t even need to like or following racing. It’s amazing from an event standpoint. Such a great people watching opportunity, so much to do and there is no other sport…
Testing the new Disney MagicBands
The MyMagic+ experience is alive and testing at Walt Disney World…and I had the chance to take them for a test run this week! Disney does a great job of testing stuff with cast members before really rolling them out to the public. I was able to be a part of the test due to…
Fourth of July at Walt Disney World
We had a great fourth of July!! We didn’t even really celebrate on the 4th – we decided to hit Disney’s Polynesian Resort on the 3rd for the fireworks. If you didn’t know, that’s the best place to watch the fireworks! First, the Polynesian has food and alcohol! The view from the beach is amazing. …
