This weekend my wife Lee and I attended the Zappos Rewards “Friends With Benefits” Roadshow in Austin.  We stopped by last Saturday with some friends, grabbed some mimosas and hung out to listen to some of the live music.  They also had a huge moving wall and a interactive TV where you could give high-fives to someone hanging out at the Zappos’ headquarters in Las Vegas.

If you haven’t signed up for their rewards program, I highly recommend it. It’s completely free, and Lee and I shop with Zappos enough that because of the rewards program, we get free 1-day shipping on anything we order! I just bought a pair of shoes today at 2 pm, and they’re going to be here tomorrow… that’s convenient.

It was cool to see that Zappos was giving back with some of the publicity it was generating by working with the local animal shelters to help find their dogs’ new homes.  They had a bunch of dogs and puppies there you could adopt, and Zappos covered all the fees.  They’ve already covered the fees for 16,000 pet adoptions!  You can find more info on it here.

Denim Shirt - Joggers - Adidas All Stars

For the event, Zappos was kind enough to provide some credits to shop with.  As I mentioned before, Lee and I use them all the time, so that was a pleasant surprise.  We’ve been having some warm weather down here in Austin, and I wanted to get something that would transition well into Spring, so I picked up a denim shirt, joggers, and Adidas Originals Superstars. I’ve been meaning to buy some joggers for a while, and the white Superstars go with almost anything.

 

Thanks for stopping by!

Our garage is one of our favorite places to hang o Our garage is one of our favorite places to hang out on the blazing summer days. We bought the house while it was still being built, so we had no idea just how big the garage was going to be. #Ad #TargetPartner
Once we saw it, we realized it would be much more fun to convert it into a rec room instead of just parking our cars in it. The latest addition has been an @Xbox. We got Xbox All Access from @Target , which got us an Xbox along with 100’s of games. Our kids are pretty new to gaming, so it was awesome, because there was no upfront cost, we get to keep the Xbox, and they can try out a bunch of games instead of me having to buy a bunch of different ones. Noah keeps changing his mind about which game is his favorite, from Forza to Minecraft, and now it’s Craftopia, so it’s already saving money 😂

We signed up for Xbox All Access a couple months ago from @Target, and what’s nice about it is that you get a @Xbox as well as access to 100+ games for a just monthly price with no upfront cost, and it ends up being a good deal. It works out especially well for us, because Noah and Emma like very different types of games, so instead of us having to buy lots of games, there are over 100 already included for them to play.  It’s currently only available for purchase online, so I’ll link it in my stories. #TargetPartner #xboxallaccess #xbox

Father’s Day is about celebrating fathers, but I Father’s Day is about celebrating fathers, but I wanted to share appreciation for @LeeAnneBenjamin who gave me the privilege of being a father. Before I met Lee, my young, naive plan was that I wouldn’t be married until I was 30 and definitely wouldn’t be having children until I was at least 35. 
I was married to work and the idea of creating companies and wealth. I didn’t think I had time for both. 
Then Lee came along. I had no idea when I met her, but it was the luckiest moment of my life. I couldn’t dream of ending up with anyone better.  If there is such a thing as soulmates, I found mine. 
We’ve been together 17 years, almost half my life. And I couldn’t imagine my life without her. 
She’s the reason I get to be the father of two kids I’m obsessed with, and for that I’ll be forever grateful.
Happy Father’s Day!

We recently signed up for #xboxallaccess at @Target, where for a monthly price we got an Xbox Series X and access to hundreds of games. It’s been awesome for us because there are a ton of different games to try out. Noah seems to be into the racing and Minecraft games, while Emma’s been enjoying Paw Patrol

What's your favorite thing to cook on your grill? What's your favorite thing to cook on your grill? We go through a lot of burgers, but I love cooking thick ribeyes. If you can get enough heat on them for a good sear, I'm convinced there's nothing better. When we customized our new outdoor kitchen from @RTAOutdoorliving , we put in a grill from @coyoteoutdoor that has an infrared searing burner that IS AWESOME. Excited to share more details of our outdoor kitchen with you guys on stories. Lee's favorite part of the kitchen are the Corian Endura countertops from @coriandesign. Check out my stories for a video of some sweet sweet grilling action 😂
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!
