How To Turn Off Instagram Video Autoplay

Instagram

I love Instagram. It's tied with Pinterest as my favorite social media site. It's such a fun way to see what everyone is up to and you can "heart" photos you like, similar to Facebook's thumbs up. While there may be the occasional photo of a spider or someone's foot in a cast, people aren't likely to heart these things therefore sharing cute, delicious, beautiful, and fun photos is much more popular, which is what makes it such a happy platform. After hearing the news that Instagram added ... continue reading...

Grand Traverse Resort & Spa Review: Part II

Grand Traverse Resort Crab Cake

We love to travel, especially up to Traverse City, Michigan. It's about 4 hours from our house and we find the area so beautiful that we try to get up there once a year or so. Accommodations and meals provided. Recently we stayed at the Grand Traverse Resort & Spa. We had a wonderful time enjoying our room with a beautiful view, strolling the golf courses, browsing the shops, and relaxing at the beach club. You can read about our thoughts on these features and amenities in our Grand ... continue reading...

Grand Traverse Resort & Spa Review

Grand Traverse Resort Featured

It wasn't that long ago that the wind was howling, snow was blowing across the lawn, and night came creeping in at 6:00 pm. If you live in Michigan it was only a few short weeks ago. Accommodations and meals provided. It was the winter that would never end. Thankfully time does move on and finally summer is here. That means only one thing for us - summer vacation and road trips. Randy and I knew we wanted to get away but were not sure where we wanted to travel to. Then came an offer we ... continue reading...

Willow Creek Memory Blanket Review

Willow Creek Studio Memory Blanket

I can't believe how fast Kora & Logan are growing up. It seems like just yesterday we had two children under the age of two. Now they are 7 and 6 and growing more every day. Willow Creek Studio's Baby Memory Blanket received. I've found myself saying quite often lately that time moves faster once you become a parent. I've been reminding myself to slow down every now and then to cherish the memories and special moments because they do seem to fly right by. That's why I was excited ... continue reading...

What’s Your ID? I’m Vanilla Iced Coffee

Ice Cream & Coffee

This post is sponsored by International Delight. Last 4th of July we had a family get together and my mother-in-law brought over a vanilla ice cream and International Delight Vanilla Iced Coffee. The plan was to pour it over the ice cream and enjoy it for dessert. She said she had it recently at a pool party and it was amazing. I was excited to try it. We had had our picnic dinner and were about to grab the desserts including the Iced Coffee but suddenly our power went out. We thought ... continue reading...

How To Shop The Box Tops For Education Marketplace

Box Tops For Education Marketplace

Box Tops for Education gift card received. We've been doing a lot of remodeling and various projects around our house. We've redone our kitchen, had a bathroom built in the basement, changed walls around on the first floor, knocked down our front porch and replaced it with a beautiful garden & sitting area. We even have hung window boxes, have painted, sanded, dusted, decorated, and more. While all these major changes have been going on Kora & Logan have been wonderful. Routines have ... continue reading...

Despicable Me 2 Advance Screening Giveaway

Despicable Me 2

Tickets received. Kora & Logan love Despicable Me and we were excited to attend an advanced screening of the new movie, Despicable Me 2 which is coming out on July 3rd. The first movie was very funny (you gotta love the Minions!), touching, and even had a good sense of adventure. Steve Carrell as Gru is great. In fact I saw him dressed up and acting like Gru on Ellen the other day he was hilarious. If you haven't seen it check it out here: He's had Kora & Logan laughing like ... continue reading...

Carbonite Home Premier Review & Giveaway

Carbonite How To

Free year Carbonite subscription received and one provided for review. One of my biggest worries as a mom is losing all of our family photos and videos. This is a well founded fear because in early December or so we got a new computer. I always believe in backing up everything as often as possible but for some reason with the bustle of the holiday season I uploaded photos and was going to set up the back up "tomorrow." You know how that goes. Tomorrow becomes tomorrow and suddenly weeks and ... continue reading...

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!
