Since Halloween is coming up next, I’ve been excited to start decorating my house, helping Kora & Logan pick out their costumes, and to start searching for cute and easy Halloween recipes.

    I used to LOVE Halloween – favorite night of the year. Now, not so much. It was in 2004 when I had to push my daughter in her wheelchair and then have her ask to go home early (it was too much), that I last liked Halloween. She passed away 18 days later and that is the memory of Halloween that will always be the strongest.

    That she couldn’t trick or treat any longer was hugely significant of the way she was feeling and it was and is very sad.

    Thanks for the cute ideas. I am going to need them since I became room mom for my son’s class, which means I’m in charge of the parties!

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
