We Entered Jim Henson Studios’ Dark Crystal Cosplay Contest (costume build walkthrough)
When we talked about ideas for Halloween costumes this year, Josh and I joked about how with the height difference between us and the kids, how perfect it’d be to dress up as Skeksis/Mystics and Gelflings/Podlings. They’d probably be really cute! But there’s no way we could actually create costumes that elaborate, right?
The Ultimate Guide to Surviving San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) with Kids – Part 2
Now, it’s time for us to share our favorite tips that we’ve learned all about attending the convention itself! Tips on packing, crowds, quiet spots, meeting celebs, swag, and more!
The ULTIMATE GUIDE to Surviving San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) with Kids – Part 1
Attending pop culture and fan conventions can be a lot of fun for all ages, but stressful, too. And the granddaddy of them all, San Diego Comic Con, is a special kind of beast that can make even the most confident parent wonder if they should just leave the kiddos at home. One thing is for sure — it is a very different experience than most smaller conventions.
Kids Travel Car Seat Review – Bubblebum and Cosco Finale
When we decided to take a trip to both Orlando, Florida and New York City, we were pretty excited. After all, this would be the kids’ very first flight that they were old enough to remember! Tickets were booked, hotels were reserved, and I spent many hours researching kid-friendly places in Orlando to spend our days while Josh would be at a work-related conference there. And suddenly it hit us. What were we going to do about car seats?!?

Lillebaby – The ONE thing every baby on the go needs
When first-time moms ask me what they REALLY need on their registry, I don’t hesitate to tell them that there is one item I wholeheartedly recommend…
Balancing Work and Family Time…A Challenge for Millennials!
I read an interesting article (linked below) recently about how Millennials (people born between the years 1981-1996) tend to work weird hours, and consider themselves “workaholics.” This seems pretty contradictory to the stereotypes we hear about millennials being lazy, or the idea that they were coddled by their parents and don’t understand the importance of working. While that might be true for some, in my experience, I’ve found the opposite to be true!
Shh…Our Top Secret Places for Finding Family Halloween Costumes…Cheap!
Halloween is DEFINITELY one of the favorite holidays here at the Morgan house. We tend to do a lot of cosplay and dress up, so we have multiple giant storage containers full of various costume parts we’ve collected over the years! When it comes time to put together Halloween costumes, I can’t help my DIY nature…

We Traveled All Over Orlando and NYC with the Lillebaby CarryOn All Seasons (Sponsored Review)
I’ve written before about how much we loved our Lillebaby Organic Complete baby carrier when our kids were small. It helped us comfortably navigate crazy places like San Diego Comic Con, movie premieres, and theme parks, taking a lot of the stress of keeping a baby calm and happy off our shoulders (literally!). So when we planned a crazy trip to BOTH Orlando and NYC…
Set Phasers to STUNNING: How To Score Geekworthy Star Trek Fitness Apparel
It’s a New Year! That means New Years Resolutions, and the one that tops many people’s lists is to exercise more. Running or riding bikes together is one excellent way that families can spend time together and stay active. We even know many families that enjoy competing in marathons and bike races!
But cycling and running gear can be pricey… not to mention bland. When I started commuting to work by bicycle, I looked at “official” cycling gear and was put off by the cost. Especially considering the lack of personality in the gear!

What’s the best Vlogging Camera? Part 1: Canon G7X Mark II vs. EOS M6
When we decided to create a dedicated blog for all our adventures, we quickly realized that we would need to upgrade some of our camera gear. Sure, we could always use our trusty iPhones (the cameras are actually quite good), but sometimes you want the ability to access more features and not drain your phone battery.
