Effortless Ribeye Steaks – with a crust

Grilling The Best Ribeye Steaks 2 Horizontal

I’m back again with another grill recipe that’s hard to mess up and makes a mighty fine piece of meat. I cooked 16 ribeyes with the goal of getting a perfect steak without much effort. Can someone else make a better Ribeye? I’m sure they can, but can they do so with less effort? That’s going to be

We Bought a Car Without Even Driving It

I really don’t enjoy the normal car buying process. Every time I walk into a dealership, no matter how nice people are, you can see them sizing you up and trying to make a sale. Even the questions they ask, “What car are you driving? How old is it?” would be …

Why I’ll never go back from Sous Vide Cooking

By

I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. I enjoy the end product, but I don’t like setting aside the time to create it. My eating habits fall somewhere in the instant gratification theme of our time where I want to create great food with the least time and effort possible. That’s why I love the Joule sous vide. It’s

Mow Your Lawn without leaving your couch

The Honda Miimo Robotic Lawn Mower came out in 2017, and I’ve been dying to get my hands on one ever since. It’s like the robotic vacuums you’ve likely seen that drive themselves around the house and return to their charger when they’re done – except instead of vacuuming your floors, it mows your lawn!…

This week as part of @LeeAnneBenjamin 's and my go This week as part of @LeeAnneBenjamin 's and my goal to teach out kids something new or give them a unique experience every week this year, we're building @Lego Technic cars from @Target #Ad. I thought Noah would really be into them, but I was surprised by just how obsessed Emma has been with them too. They take a few days to make, so we've been doing a little bit most mornings or evenings. @Target has a bunch of different ones, and even has an exclusive on some of them like the green Mustang we're building, which is one of the less expensive ones. It's been an awesome way to get some good one on one time with both our kids. Check out my stories for more info and some links. #TargetPartner #TargetStyle

We’ve got a new project! I want to get the kids We’ve got a new project! I want to get the kids out fishing on the lake, but the boat slips here are either on a waitlist or too expensive to be worth it. Instead we’re going to transform this one into something we can drop in the water ourselves and spend less than we would on an annual boat slip. 
It’s not as big of a project as some we’ve done in the last, but this one should get done quickly. 
I’ve got a lot of ideas of what to add to it so we can have “Champaign taste on a beer budget.”
First up is a motor we can drive by a remote and eliminates the need for an anchor by using GPS. Check out my stories for more info

Spring's finally here, so we've finally been able Spring's finally here, so we've finally been able to get back outside. We've made a lot of changes to our backyard and are excited to share it all. One of our kids favorites is definitely the outdoor ping pong table from @Ledgelounger. It's made from high-quality resin just like their signature chairs, so it's going to stand up to just about anything the weather is going to throw at it, so we can simply enjoy it.

If you haven’t been following along on @leeannebenjamin ‘s stories, we’ve been looking for a Florida home for quite a while. 
In this crazy real estate market, even if you put an offer in a house above asking the asking price, there is a good chance you won’t get it. 
We had our offer accepted on this one a couple days ago, and today was the first time we got to see it in person. I shared a walkthrough of the house on @leeannebenjamin ‘s stories, so you can see more there. 
I’m super excited to let the kids know, but we’re going to wait until the closing is done, so we can bring them both to Florida and surprise them! I can’t wait to see their faces!
