Best of both worlds: LG Watch W7 smartwatch with traditional watch movement

I found the perfect gift in the LG Watch W7 Smartwatch from Best Buy. Not only does it combine all the smart functions I was looking for with the analog sensibility of real watch hands, it has the added benefit of looking much more like a traditional watch. Perfect for keeping in touch while working and at meetings where I don’t want to pull out my phone.

Build, code & play with JIMU Robots

It’s incredibly important to me that I introduce my kids to all aspects of STEM-based learning, especially those that aren’t naturally tech-inclined. In my search for tech toys, I’ve found my new favorite toy that truly makes STEM learning fun: The JIMU Robot System. They can build, code, and play with their own customizeable robot for hours and hours of fun, all while learning the basics of robotics.

For me, the idea of homelessness isn’t an abstract problem. I’ve known many homeless families throughout the years – All of their stories are different, but each one is just as heartbreaking as the last. So, I love that Comcast is partnering with Mary’s Place in Washington to tackle homelessness and help close the digital divide.

He recently got the kids hooked, and their favorite is the Six Minutes podcast from Gen-Z Media. We’ve created a curated gift guide based on our love of the show just for fans.

Matching Girls Monday: a day at the Seattle zoo

In an extremely rare boy-less day, we got to take these sweet sisters out to the Woodland Park Zoo and let them call the shots. We stayed far longer than I thought we would at the otters, we visited the park we usually skip right by, and we fed the birds that my son isn’t interested in touching. All in all, it was a great day and they looked adorable in their matching Gymboree dresses and leggings.
