So we’ve decided to try something new. Because Rebecca and I are constantly on the Internet researching and reading about tech, we come across a lot of interesting/funny/bizarre things. We often share them with each other to break up the monotony of the 9-5, so we figured, why not share them with y’all too? So … Continue reading Tech Bytes

Keeping Up With the Kar…err, the News + Yahoo News Digest & The Skimm
I really like experimenting with my morning routine. I’m always tweaking it but that’s part of the fun. I love hearing or reading about other people’s routines for ideas. My morning routine varies. Sometimes I’m on a journaling and meditation kick. Or I’m running in the morning and making my green smoothies. My latest thing has … Continue reading Keeping Up With the Kar…err, the News + Yahoo News Digest & The Skimm
National Ice Cream Day + Uber
So you may wonder why we're dedicating a post to Uber. Who hasn’t USED Uber, let alone hasn’t HEARD of it?? Well, sadly, there are less fortunate souls that live in less populated (or more technologically resistant) cities (I'm looking at you, New Orleans) that still do not have the luxury of ordering rides from … Continue reading National Ice Cream Day + Uber

“What the Tweet?!” + Twitter (Part III)
Using Twitter in Real Life Something happened to me this past weekend that hasn’t happened in a long time. I was without an Internet connection (gasp!). Family-vacationing in the North Woods of Wisconsin (best place on Earth btw), it was just me, a beautiful lake and a pile of bratwursts and cheese curds. Frankly, the … Continue reading “What the Tweet?!” + Twitter (Part III)

“What the Tweet?!” + Twitter (Part I)
If you have visited our blog prior to this post, you may notice some changes! Rebecca and I were fed up with Blogger's unpredictable formatting and lagging RSS feed updates, so we made the not-so-difficult decision to graduate to WordPress. So, apologies for the short pause in posting, but we didn’t want to publish any … Continue reading “What the Tweet?!” + Twitter (Part I)
I Love Blogs + Feedly
I love blogs. They have replaced my pre-teen and teenage love of magazines. I used to spend hours pouring over the newest issue of Girls Life and then later Seventeen. I lived for the quizzes, the embarrassing moment recaps, the advice columns, and stories about girls in other parts of the country and the world … Continue reading I Love Blogs + Feedly

Have you ever had one of your favorite television shows cruelly ripped out from under you?

Aaaaaaand we’re back! Who knew that graduate school (me) and working for a start-up (Rebecca) would be so time consuming and pull us away from our beloved blog for so long. I can only speak for myself, but reentering the academic world after an 8-year hiatus threw more challenges and curveballs my way … Continue reading #SB2K13 (spring break 2013) + Airbnb
