There are a million and one posts on the best baby gear to purchase for your kiddos, so I won't bore you with another list (although I used many of said lists when determining what to buy for our son at various ages, and many were super helpful!). However, a gift he got for Christmas … Continue reading The Best Toddler Purchase You Probably Haven’t Made: the Doona Liki Trike
Friday, October 1, 2021 1. Do you sometimes feel like your iPhone or Android just isn't enough, and crave a phone created by your favorite (or likely 7th favorite, in this case) fast food restaurant? I can't say that I have. But if you love Wendy's, and happen to be in the market for a … Continue reading Tech Bytes
As I mentioned in my post from last week, we have been living with my parents in Arizona for the past 5.5 months while searching for a home in the Atlanta area. Not the ideal situation for 30-somethings with a dog and a small child – or for 60-somethings that aren't used to simultaneously running … Continue reading Tech Take: Tesla First Impression
My Dad has always said that people move for only six reasons (in no particular order): (1) Family, (2) Friends/Social, (3) Jobs, (4) Geographic Points of Interest, (5) Healthcare/Medical Needs, (6) Weather. If you are part of the small circle of TIRL readers, you know that we have lived in New Orleans for close to … Continue reading Buying a Home During a Pandemic
It's HOT in New Orleans right now. It hasn't exactly been COOL here since April, but the summer is absolutely brutal. We hate it. Our dog hates it. I question anyone's sanity that DOESN'T hate it. I think back to my days in Chicago and have the recurring internal debate around which is worse — … Continue reading Tech Bytes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiF6-0UTqtc Destiny's Child - Bills, Bills, Bills (1999) Starting a blog post with a Destiny's Child late 90's throwback music video seemed like the way to go with this one. I hope you enjoy. And for those of you that are too young to know Destiny's Child — yes, that is Beyoncé. Ok, so let's … Continue reading Bills, Bills, Bills + Prism App
Another week in the books. Of course, the hot story of the week (at least in MY Twitter feed) was the college admissions scandal involving Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman (among others). I won't share all of my thoughts here, but I was obviously disappointed to see Stanford involved in any way. We received a … Continue reading Tech Bytes
One of my favorite phrases of 2018 went a little something like this... "It's only $10 a month!" Before the internet exploded, subscriptions seemed limited to a) magazines and newspapers, or b) total ripoff service like the Columbia Mail Order CD Club (please tell me someone else remembers this?!). Now, of course, you can literally … Continue reading Death By The $10 Monthly Subscription
I took a blogging hiatus for a couple of months. Ok, no, that's a lie. There was no specific REASON I took off two months, I just didn't WRITE anything for two months. Sigh. Well, that's also kind of a lie. I did write a couple of posts, but never published them. If a tree … Continue reading Tech Bytes
This isn't a Holiday gift guide to help you figure out what to buy for your friends and family. Nope. This is a POST-Holiday gift guide to help you discover tech toys you didn't receive as a gift and should go buy for YOURSELF. Yes, the Holidays are a season for giving. And giving is … Continue reading 2019 TIRL Holiday Gift Guide — Treat Yo’ Self Edition
