Shaving is not fun. No one gets out of bed, hops in the shower, and thinks “yay, it’s shaving day!” Well, at least I think no one feels that way. I suppose someone out there thinks shaving is the most exciting part of their day, but I’ve yet to...

A few weeks ago (three, to be precise) I posted about the Listerine Oral Care Challenge that Jacob and I were taking part in. We just wrapped up the challenge, and I’m happy to report that it went fairly well. To recap- during the challenge, both Jacob and I had...

Cold and flu season has officially begun, and Jacob seems to be getting more than his fair share of sniffles this year. He rarely gets really sick, and so far he’s just had a bit of congestion, but it’s become an almost constant issue over the last few...
