Can you switch from Verizon to T-Mobile and keep your iPhone?

  • 10 Aug, 2014

We’ve been customers with Verizon for a long time but are thinking of moving to T-Mobile where we can get unlimited everything for quite a bit less a month. The only issue is that we want to take our phones (iPhone 5 & 4s) with us and I’m not getting clear answers to if they’d […]

Big Scary Kindergarten

  • 8 Aug, 2014

Kindergarten is going to be great. There will be lots of other kids, you’ll do fun projects, and it’s going to so much fun. That’s what we tell our kids. While the whole time thinking in the back of our mind that this is the scariest thing ever. Where did the past 5 years go? […]

Chromebook Review – I want more!

Minnesota River in Chaska Flooding Pictures

  • 21 Jun, 2014

We took a drive down to Chaska today to look at the Minnesota river. The main road, 41, is now closed and for good reason. They have a TON of water and it’s on the rise. Luckily for Chaska, their levee protects downtown and it’s doing a great job. However, the water continues to rise.
