The Echo Show changing the smart home game
I still haven’t bit the bullet and bought the Echo or Google Home, I actually love the idea of Echo Dots, but I’m more of an Android gal so I was waiting for Google to adapt to a similar model that you could afford to put all over your home. I would love one in my […]

All opinions are mine alone. #KempsLocallyCrafted #CollectiveBias After what feels like an eternity of winter, the warmer weather is finally making it’s way and that means that we almost always have ice cream on hand. Is there any better way to spend the […]
Meet Lucy
It all started a few weeks before Easter when Aliceana said that she wanted a cat for Easter. It was a strange request coming from the dog loving almost five year old, so we naturally said, “Nope, you have a dog and a cat already.” Then the Thursday before Easter, after a particularly crappy day […]
10 laugh out loud Shows on Netflix that you’ll watch over and over again
I’m basically the most useless person in the universe without 2 cups of coffee, so I spend my morning catching up on Netflix while enjoying my coffee and starting my day. Is that a weird routine? Maybe, but it’s a relaxing way to enjoy some me time before Aliceana wakes up. The other morning I […]
Voice Activation, it’s everywhere.
Is there anything better than having all of the knowledge in the palm of your hand? Yep, you could use your voice instead of your fingers to access that infinite knowledge. Voice activation is all around us and it’s pretty amazing. I’ve been using Google Assistant a lot lately, whether I like it or not, […]
Raising a foodie
I’m not sure what turned AJ and I into foodies, it might have been traveling to California or maybe it was our visit to Milwaukee’s famous Mader’s way back in the day when we were dating. It’s impossible to argue, we’re officially converted to complete foodies and spend way way too much of our income on […]
Our favorite book apps
March was National Reading Month. I myself have been listening to and reading books, and Aliceana is working on learning to read with her favorite apps. I’ve partnered with U.S. Cellular to bring you information on my favorite reading apps, whether you’re on a plane or lounging on your couch, you can read a book everywhere. In […]
The first Stepping Stone to what I want to be when I grow up
You know what they say about rock bottom? That you can only go up from there. Well, in the spectrum of money making and career-wise I’ve been pretty fricken low. I’ve been working really hard to figure out what it is that I actually love in life and what the heck do I want to […]
The to-do list app that saved me from my cat probably killing me in my sleep
That title is only exaggerating a little. Here’s the story, we forgot cat to buy cat treats at every store we went to for over 2 weeks. Our cat was very much not ok with this, and being that she is a feline we figured if we went another week without giving the darn cat […]
Keep track of your small business finances.
Nobody loves filing taxes. It doesn’t matter how straightforward they are, they’re annoying. You know what’s even worse? Owning a small business, like this website, and having to file taxes. I get paid little bits here and there from a ton of different places, it’s a lot to keep track of. Not to mention all […]
I’m making things, and making things happen.
These past two weeks I’ve been kicking butts and taking names. A few months ago I read the book, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson, and it was this great inspirational swearing filled book about well, not giving a fuck. It helped me realize what I didn’t want in my life, […]
I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore
I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore, is so much more than a film with a long title. It’s so much more than a comedy about taking charge and stealing your crap back. There is so much emotion in this show. We live in a time in the world where most people think […]
New trailer for Love season 2 reminds us why we fell in love with Love
I love Love. It’s Valentine’s Day so I can say love an excessive amount, right? Love it. Anyway, Love’s new trailer came out and it’s a great reminder of why this show is so freaking great. You have two people in the most complicated messed up relationship, and it just feels so real. At the […]
Date night apps. Psst, these are great for married couples.
I missed out on that whole dating app experience by a few years. I mean, unless you count using MySpace and MSN messenger to chat with AJ, which led to us going on our first date, and well, now I’m here 8 years later in our quiet home with our pets and daughter still snoozing […]
