Kia Optima Hybrid Review

Kia Optima Interior

For the past week, we've had the chance to test drive the 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid. I've never driven a hybrid before and was excited to see what the car had to offer. On Thursday I took the car down to Cincinnati with me to attend Bloggy Conference. The trip down took 5 hours because of the terrible rain. I was very happy with how the car handled in the wet weather. It drove smoothly, braked quickly, and the windshield wipers helped with visibility. The weather on the trip back was sunny ... continue reading...

A Collection Of Birthday Quotes For My Birthday

2 Wired 2 Tired Tesa Nicolanti

Today is my birthday! Remember when you were a kid and you could barely sleep the night before your birthday? I've decided to set a goal for myself this year and a couple of nights a week when I go to bed I want to find something to look forward to the next day that makes me feel at least half this excited. I might end up more tired, but can you imagine how fun it would be to go to bed each night as if you were a kid again and it was the day before your birthday? It should be an fun challenge ... continue reading...

Cedar Point Halloweekends Review

Now that fall is here we are getting into the Halloween spirit. Tickets, meals, and goodie bags provided. Kora & Logan have picked out their costumes and were excited to head to Cedar Point for Halloweekends. It is a fun way to enjoy the amusement park with a twist. It's a great opportunity for kids to wear their costumes to the Cedar Point and to see the park decorated for Halloween. There were a lot of creative displays and one of my favorites was the old ride ... continue reading...

Get Away From It All & Go Back In Time In Lancaster County Pennsylvania

Lancaster Rail Road

We love traveling and exploring new places. Whether they are big cities or off the beaten path we enjoy both. Accommodations, meals, and train tickets received. We recently returned from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and the words that keep floating through my mind are "peaceful" and "calming." From the winding roads, the covered bridges, the huge farms and the serene parks it was the most relaxing, unstressful vacation we have taken. As we crossed the tracks at the Strasburg Rail ... continue reading...

Fruity Pebbles Treats Recipe

Fruity Pebbles Treats Recipe

When Kora & Logan were babies I would spend my Saturday mornings at children's consignment sales. Not only did I find great deals on new and like new clothing and toys, but the bake sale at each one was worth getting up early for. One day I came across a table that had a variety of different Rice Krispies treats. On that table, one group of treats really stood out. They were bright and colorful and calling to me. I went for a closer look and realized they were made of Fruity Pebbles and ... continue reading...

Ford Escape Review

Ford Escape

For the past couple of weeks we've had the chance to test drive the Ford Escape. We were really excited about this opportunity because our SUV is on its last legs and we will soon be in the market to replace it. Driving the Escape for an extended period allowed us to see how it would fit into our family on a daily basis and whether it would be the right car for us. When it arrived, I was immediately smitten. It's a beautiful shade of blue - my favorite color! It's a nice size and isn't ... continue reading...

Flights, accommodations, meals, park tickets, activities and goodie bags were provided. It was so much fun and a trip well never forget!

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!
