Dremel Multi-Max Oscillating Tool Saves the Day (More than Once)
A few months ago, on a whim, I bought a Dremel Multi-Max Oscillating Tool. I already had a Dremel Rotary tool, but I wasn’t using it to the full potential. Honestly, I was never quite sure when to use it and couldn’t grasp what it would be good for. The Multi-Max was a bit more…

Philips Shoqbox Portable Bluetooth Speaker Sets Your Music Free, Wherever You Are
One of the unusual things about our new house is that it has an indoor Endless Pool. I never thought that I’d have a pool inside my house, but I’m certainly not complaining that I do. Swimming is a good, low-impact exercise, and something that I really enjoy (even if I’m not all that good…

Celebrate Valentine’s Day as a Family on the Odyssey in Boston (Giveaway)
Do you do anything special as a family for Valentine’s Day? Do you get them treats or gifts? Have dinner as a family? I’ll admit… I’m not all that great about celebrating Valentine’s Day. I’m often out of town traveling for work and it’s not always easy to find something that’s kid-friendly. If you’re in…

Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro Ultrabook Overview
I have been wanting an Ultrabook for ages. As someone who travels regularly, and is somewhat nomadic in my working situation at home, having a laptop that is light, but still powerful is really useful. Unfortunately, my last laptop died before I was ready to commit to an Ultrabook, and before there was one that…
