I haven’t written a Weekend Reading post in over a month, and it’s really something I want to get back into the habit of doing. I think they’re a great quick-hit way of passing on some great articles that I’ve found as well and sharing some of my favorite clothing and grooming products of the week.
The past month has been has been pretty hectic around here. We had a good week and a half where everyone in the house was sick. A couple stomach bugs, a couple flus, and several colds. Such is life when you have two young kids. We spent this week getting the house ready for a photo shoot for my sister-in-law. She’s working on getting a lifestyle brand off the ground, and wanted to use our house for some pictures. My wife and I had been ignoring some substantial messes and clutter for a while, so this was just the impetus we needed to get our surroundings in order. I can’t express the feeling of freedom that comes with cleaning up your living space. We’re on a roll now, and I really want to keep this momentum going forward.
