    Garage Epoxy

    If you are planning on parking your vehicles inside your garage, then the regular epoxy paint you get from Home Depot/Lowes will not hold up against the wear and tear. We used that for our garage and the area where the tire meets the floor, the epoxy has started rubbing off. Get the...

    Traveling with kids

    Have traveled with our 2 kids on international and domestic flights. We take storybooks, activity books, crayons, small toys, etc. As long as you keep them entertained, they will be ok :). We have tried giving them candy, gum for take offs/landings, but it hasn't helped much. Their ears still...

    New Parent Tips

    Take lots of pictures and videos. Specially videos. It's fun to go back to watch them a few years after the fact and rekindle old memories of how you interacted with your child when he/she wasn't able to talk, sit or walk.

    Got in an accident this morning....

    FYI, once  you report an accident to your insurance, the insurance is going to ask you to file the accident report with the DMV. That will then put 2 points on the other drivers record.

About AT&T, I had already decided I was switching from AT&T since the voice reception at both home/work was very poor. I haven't had any issues with voice calls...

    Sprint reception in Irvine?

However, Sprint's pricing is hard to beat. If you can afford it, Verizon is the way to go. It's pricier, but I...

    How to teach your kid to ride a bike... FCB style

    For both my kids, took their training wheels off, gave them a little push to get their bike started and then ran behind them to catch them when they go off-balance. Repeat until they don't fall off. All of this on asphalt :) Started balancing on their own in about 4-5 cycling sessions.

    How to help a friend... say something or shut up?

    Since you only communicate on Facebook, I am assuming you are not very close to the friend. If that's the case, I don't feel giving unsolicited advise is recommended. This kind of issue is best handled in person, by people who are in close relationship with your friend.

    No threads on the upcoming election (or politics) ?

    Does anyone have any insight on the candidates for City Council and Mayor of Irvine? The candidates websites are mostly fluff, talking about things that they plan to do. I would rather have information about their past (how they voted on certain issues, what causes did they support). Same goes...
