Hi! My name is Luke and this is a blog about my family and I: parenting, friends, weekend trips, and some challenging things we navigate as well.
This blog is an archive for my own memories: “These are the good years” I often say. Some day things will change, but for now, things are pretty good, and I keep this blog as a memory of that.
Marriage is great, and being a dad is funny and hard, that’s why the tag for this blog is “proud supporters of fun and failures”, because if you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point?

Father’s Day, summertime, scrub the deck
A friend recently asked about the blog saying that he enjoyed reading it, and I thought how I enjoy writing blog posts, so I will keep writing from time to time. For Father’s Day, Taylor planned a daytime adventure for the family and I off to Saxapahaw, North Carolina. If you haven’t heard of it…

Goodbye, for now
This is the last post for a while. Here is why.

Work from home life, work life balance
Taylor and I both work from home. Taylor is in sales, and spends a large amount of time on work calls during the day; I am a software engineer, and spend a large amount of time doing deep work (mostly pretty quiet). It has been this way since the pandemic- Taylor’s company from Greensboro allowed…

Dinner Party, and something new
Before jumping into the fun stuff about the dinner party, I didn’t do a post last week. Or the week before. The reason I didn’t write was because I didn’t know what to write- or how to write about it. My older brother Jake had a birthday. I haven’t spoken to him in 2 years.…

Mardi Gras, Making cake, multi-media
When there is a daddy daughter dance, attendance is not optional. It is not the dad’s night to shine on the dance floor (though a few did). We got our tickets to the daddy-daughter dance before they sold out. Yes, I have a weird tone when writing these posts, but the event did actually sell…

The zoo, and the cloud
We had a fun trip to the zoo. Also, what do you do with all of your videos and photos from over the years? Here is my approach.

Birthday breakfast, basketball, biking adventure
Around here, a birthday isn’t just a day. Around here, there is a birthday with one side of the family; then another side of the family; then alone with just the family. This week I woke up on my actual birthday, read a book about the Old Testament, checked my blood pressure (part of my…

Happy Birthday, Hyderabad, and Hours Wasted
For the past several years, we have done the same thing for my birthday with the family: gone to boxcar arcade/bar to play games. It has become a pretty fun tradition. It was just a simple idea Taylor had a few years ago, and it works great: the kids get a chance to go and…

All the stuff.
Hi! Thanks for stopping by to check out the blog! Usually the title starts out with something that rhymes, but for the life of me, I cannot get all of these random things to fit into any fun title that makes sense. So this week, it is “all the stuff” from the Logan Family for…

2023 Blog Review, favorite things, and resolutions
2023 is over, so its time to peel back the curtain and reflect on what the analytics say about the blog: According to Google Analytics: The top pages from 2023: All of the numbers above mean this: not many people read this blog, and I am 100% ok with that. But what is the goal…

Christmas, 2023
Or, Getting Busy Yall We did a lot. Rosie had to help me remember what happened when. No, it wasn’t because I couldn’t remember for THAT reason. It was just fast and furious. And today, it will be fast and… God willing… quiet. Peanut Butter Balls. The 14th annual making of the balls. Punny jokes…
