Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. This blog got its name because my husband, Dave, and I always joked that “the kids were too wired and we were too tired!” With two kids born just a year apart, our house has always been full of energy and a bit of chaos. I started this blog in 2009 to create a space where other parents could find relatable stories, helpful tips, and a little inspiration.
As time has gone by, our lives have changed in ways I never expected. Now that our kids are off to college (seriously, how did that happen so fast?!), I often think back on all the adventures we’ve shared as a family. From late-night homework sessions to fun family road trips, I’ve been right here, coffee in hand, sharing our experiences. My goal has always been to find the best in family travel, tech, and everyday life because let’s face it—who has time for bad gadgets or boring trips? I’ve tried countless products and adventures to bring you the recommendations that really make life easier and more fun.
On 2 Wired 2 Tired, you’ll discover a treasure trove of family travel ideas and practical tips to help make family life better. Whether it’s finding cool places to visit on your next vacation or sharing the latest tech gadgets that can save you time, I want to help you make the most of your family time. Every family deserves to create special memories, and I’m excited to share the resources that have helped us do just that.
So, whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next family trip, curious about new tech, or need advice on balancing everything, you’re in the right place! Join me as we navigate the ups and downs of family life together—because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!

As you scroll through the lists and features below, you might notice a bit of a time gap in my blogging journey, and that’s because I took a little hiatus to dive into the wild world of remote work for a digital marketing company. While away from blogging, I’ve continued to rock the work-at-home life and now I’m back to share the laughs, the struggles, and the occasional triumphs with my fellow work-at-home warriors here at 2 Wired 2 Tired.
It’s been a wild ride, and as I dust off the old keyboard and fire up the blog again, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and nerves. But hey, I’ve kept all those fancy accolades from my blogging days because, let’s face it, they’re a nice little ego boost as I dip my toes back into the blogging pool. So buckle up, folks, because we’re about to embark on another adventure in the land of work-at-home parenting!
