Quick Tip – Break != Brake
Maybe it’s just because I spend a fair bit of time in car forums, but I see this misspelling a lot, so it’s one to watch out for… and I don’t think you can blame this one on your iPhone.
Brake (noun) – a device used to apply friction, usually to slow something down or prevent it from moving, like the brakes on your bike or the handbrake in your car. (verb) – make a moving vehicle slow down or stop by using the brake
Break (verb) – to separate into pieces, usually the result of strain or stress on an object.

Breakfast Power Smoothie (kid-friendly)
We are a big-time smoothie family. So much so that until we dropped the cash on a Blendtec blender, we would pretty regularly burn out food processors, submersible mixers, and cheapo countertop blenders.
Here is a kid-friendly smoothie recipe that I’ve been known to make in the mornings to get started, especially on workout days when the engine needs something to burn, but oatmeal or a bagel just isn’t going to do it.

Going to SXSW…
If you don’t hear from either of us for a few days, don’t fret. Nothing’s happened and we’re still here. But I’m going to SXSW in Austin, and Allison doesn’t have the password to the blog yet (lol), so there might not be an update for a week or so while I’m gone.
See you when I get back!

It's National Grammar Day!
Yes, there really is a National Grammar Day, which I find absurd. Shouldn’t we use language correctly every day? I know, that’s just silly, isn’t it?
