The Chicago Toy & Game Fair Recap #ChiTag

I wish these DigiBirds could sing to you "Welcome to our post!" 

As the winter holidays approach this is the time where families start preparing for their own holiday traditions.  In this Fandads' household the Chicago Toy and Game Fair has become a tradition that every year we all look forward to attending.  This year's ChiTag came and went and we had a great time and played with a lot of cool stuff.

Giving thanks. Do it for them, not for me!

This year's Warrior Dash

When I sit down and reflect about what I am thankful for I realize that I have gone through a lot this past year.  From taking my little girl to her first day of kindergarten to not being renewed for my teaching position, I think that I have been resilient through all of this.  Whereas some people might just shut down with this type of hardship, I saw it as a way to focus on the positive of what is going on in my life.

The slow piano playing the original theme gives me chills. What are your thoughts and what are you excited to see?

T-Shirt Thursday!

Today's shirt come to us from our friends over at LootCrate.  This shirt was part of their October Crate entitled "Fear".  At first glance you see a scary looking skull, but on closer inspection you see sweet and cuddly kittens.  One thing I like about this shirt is the fabric of it.  It is very soft and feels great, kind of like being hugged by kittens.

Remember you can get cool shirts like this if you sign up for LootCrate.
