LED Pixels hung with gutter clips.

When you’re starting out with LED pixels (programmable Christmas lights) not everyone is ready to go all in and spend big bucks on pixel mounting strips or other more permanent installs. Instead, you can use cheap gutter clips. Grab some universal gutter clips which can be found at Target, Lowes, Home Depot, or other stores. […]

This year, our Halloween candy bowl had potatoes mixed in. That’s right, potatoes. As it turns out, some kids love potatoes. This all started when my wife read something about someone else who did this and how kids loved it. Seemed like a fun thing to do on Halloween, so we thought we’d give it […]

This past weekend, my daughter and I participated in our first 5k.  I’ve been wanting to do a 5k for a while, but I never went for it. I like to walk, but I’m not a big runner, so convincing myself was hurdle #1. Hurdle #2 was having someone to do it with, as I […]

Today was a big day as I got my chemo port removed. This marks the end of my cancer treatment. Technically, I’ve been cancer free since my surgery in October, as they were able to cut it out. The chemo I’ve been going through since November is to reduce the chances of it coming back […]
