    Did I Miss this?

    It also helps that one of her BFFs is going there, too, so she's not totally alone in Jayhawk land.

    How much we paying this new track coach

    My husband thinks the same, that the coach is choosing to focus on distance with a few good throwers thrown in the mix. With the right kids, in the right year, you can definitely win championships that way, but it won't happen right away.

    How much we paying this new track coach

    Yeeeaaahhhh, only this guy was basically hand-picked by JP to come in and lead the program. I have to think that JP probably knew somewhat of the personality issues of the coach beforehand, but was willing to overlook them for results.

    The Dancing with the Cyclone Stars was another Cy's House of Trivia video. One of the questions in one round dealt with the lyrics of Ice, Ice Baby, so the video tied in with that.

    Cy's House of Trivia 2015

My husband is usually on our team, but he ended up staying home with our kids (who had gotten in major trouble earlier that day and didn't get to go stay with their grandparents like they usually would have). I think we may have gotten 2-3 more correct (which...

    Good DSLR for beginners?

    For the basic user (ie, parent trying to get halfway decent pics of their kids on something other than a smartphone) the entry level Canon and Nikons are basically the same. It would be worthwhile to go into a store and check each out - see how they fit in your hands, how easy the menu buttons...

    Friday OT #1 - Handwriting

    The hub only prints, and sometimes even then it's mostly in capital letters. #enginerd Our oldest kid wanted to start learning cursive in first grade. We had one of those wipe-off practice boards that show you how to write each letter (one side was print, the other was cursive) and he basically...

    Studying Abroad

    I spent a summer in London via a work/study program at Iowa State. It was difficult, amazing and life-changing. Do it.

    2014 Albums of the Year

    Don't count out girls, my 6yo daughter loves The Black Keys. We very rarely buy entire albums any more. I think the only ones we bought this year were Jack White, Arctic Monkeys and The Neighbourhood.
