Hotel Review: The Shore Hotel Santa Monica

When I (Laci) had a day-long workshop scheduled to be held early in the morning in Santa Monica, I knew that it would be a challenge to make it into the city from our home without encountering hours worth of traffic. Hmm, I thought…what if I just stayed right there the night before, and made it a little “Mama beach getaway?” I roped in a friend who was also headed to the same workshop, and we started searching online for the perfect place for a girl’s night.

Netflix Nailed It! Holiday Village

Have you ever heard of “Pinterest Fails?” Well, this tv show is basically just that. They pit three complete amateurs against each other in a fast baking competition, and watch as they try to recreate beautifully detailed cakes and desserts…usually with hilarious results.

Balancing Work and Family Time…A Challenge for Millennials!

I read an interesting article (linked below) recently about how Millennials (people born between the years 1981-1996) tend to work weird hours, and consider themselves “workaholics.” This seems pretty contradictory to the stereotypes we hear about millennials being lazy, or the idea that they were coddled by their parents and don’t understand the importance of working. While that might be true for some, in my experience, I’ve found the opposite to be true!

Shh…Our Top Secret Places for Finding Family Halloween Costumes…Cheap!

Halloween is DEFINITELY one of the favorite holidays here at the Morgan house. We tend to do a lot of cosplay and dress up, so we have multiple giant storage containers full of various costume parts we’ve collected over the years! When it comes time to put together Halloween costumes, I can’t help my DIY nature…

5 Reasons Why Kids SHOULD be in your Kitchen

“No Kids in the Kitchen!” That has been our repeated phrase, when the boys have once again snuck in to grab snacks from the pantry. But when it comes to preparing dinner, it can be good to take the opposite view…”kids! Come help in the kitchen!” Here’s why.

Set Phasers to STUNNING: How To Score Geekworthy Fitness Apparel from Brainstorm!

It’s a New Year! That means New Years Resolutions, and the one that tops many people’s lists is to exercise more. Running or riding bikes together is one excellent way that families can spend time together and stay active. We even know many families that enjoy competing in marathons and bike races!

But cycling and running gear can be pricey… not to mention bland. When I started commuting to work by bicycle, I looked at “official” cycling gear and was put off by the cost. Especially considering the lack of personality in the gear!

When we decided to create a dedicated blog for all our adventures, we quickly realized that we would need to upgrade some of our camera gear. Sure, we could always use our trusty iPhones (the cameras are actually quite good), but sometimes you want the ability to access more features and not drain your phone battery.
