I need to help my dad at the grocery store, of course. There’s a lot of important product inspection that I’m in charge of. I sit criss-cross-apple-sauce in the cart (a pre-truck as far as I’m concerned). It’s safer. So when dad gets sodas, I can’t have them in my way, so I told him, [...]
My new favorite place to relax is the NestRest. I never really thought of a bird nest as a super-lux cool spot. Until I met Dave Masin in Seattle. Yes, bird houses are the typical first woodworking project for kids, and bird nests and houses seem like fairly simple spaces for feathery creatures. But I [...]
We’re big fans of getting kids involved in any hands-on experience. From coloring and crafting to building and fixing, there’s so much more we can learn when we get our fingers moving beyond the keyboard. The earlier kids start getting their hands messy and busy, the easier it is for them to pick up new [...]
My big sister Lexi is fun. She’s 11-years old, and mostly cool. One of the best non-lame things about her is that she likes art projects. It’s OK that some of her projects are about dresses and Barbies and stuff—please note: NON-truck projects are kinda lame. But it’s extra fun when her creativity combines with [...]
Marvin the Martian and Bugs Bunny made it look simple to exist on Mars. But thinking that it could be actually possible for real people to exist on Mars seemed completely unreal. Until about 15 years ago when I met my friend Amy’s dad who had just become the first person to publish a paper that [...]

Decorating for the holidays can take several different kinds of approaches. It can be traditional, themed, crafty, or whatever approach captures your family’s mojo best. We usually start by digging out the boxes of ornaments and decor that we’ve collected throughout our life together and that we’ve been given from our parents and grandparents. [...]
Door decor obsessed like me? It seems like everywhere I look I notice an inspiration to create another holiday-themed door decoration. It’s fun to be inspired everyday, but it’s hard to keep up with all of my ideas. Here’s an idea that I was able to bring to life in our little studio in just a [...]
Mark and 4-year-old Jack are busy working on the leaves in our yard, but they have opposite perspectives on what needs to be done. Check out Jack‘s first MyFix video.
Make way for the candy! Halloween is a favorite holiday. When else can kids dress up in costume and gather sweets from neighbors? But it can get a little out-of-hand. There’s so much candy that comes home from just one night of candy gathering. And we’re those parents who limit sweets, so the Halloween candy [...]
