Why Our Family Cut The Cord On Cable
The beginning of the end happened one Sunday night about a year and a half ago when our older children, Jen’s Guy and I sat watching our favorite TV show, Once Upon A Time.

Man Day Post- The Jen’s Guy Blog Tour, Part 1
Welcome to another installment of Man-day from Jen’s husband Jen’s Guy! So I have to admit I was feeling a bit shamed after Jennifer’s post on commenting. That post has gone everywhere!

Annoucing The Spring Blog Staycation 2015!

Man Day Post: Jen’s Guy vs. Cosmo
Welcome to another edition of Man- Day from Jen’s husband, Jensguy! So, do you know who is having a bad decade? Magazines. I’m not sure there has been an industry more destroyed by the internet than the traditional magazine. Very similar to this, but on a much larger scale: Tech magazines, dead. Hobby magazines, mostly dead. Sports magazines, dying. The …
