  • We got just what we needed in the short and the long term

    When your central air conditioning quits on the first hot day of the season, it’s not a great day. My Dyson tower fan was managing to keep the kids’ rooms cooled off, but our master bedroom sits right over the garage and was becoming more of a sauna than a bedroom. Lucky…

  • Florida Road Tripping Part 1: Daytona Beach with the Inquisitive Teen

    My son Kellen is a seeker of knowledge. At any given time you can find him searching for information online, watching documentaries and reading books.

  • Have you taken the quiz?

    My family loves our time in the sun. When we get away for a vacation, a nearby beach or an exceptional swimming pool (preferably both) are definite necessities. With all of that time poolside we know the importance of protecting the entire family from harmful UV rays. My children have…
