Tech :: CordCruncher Earbud Headphones
I recently had the opportunity to try out a pair of CordCruncher Earbud Headphones (the moniker being they “do not TANGLE”)! I have never been so excited in my life about ear bud headphones. I am the world’s worst and I strongly animate the word WORST when it comes to getting cords for my headphones into a tangled mess – a hot tangled mess I should add. When my *pink* CordCruncher Earbud Headphones arrived I had this huge smile on my face. It was like someone had just given me tickets to a theme-park with a gift card! I pulled them out of their easy packaging and my daughter stopped…

We strapped three children (aged 14, 10, and 8) in the back seat and headed northwest—256 miles to be exact. The drive along the way was an adventure in itself. Our first stop was in Banff, Canada’s first National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. While we were there, we took in the breathtaking sites of…
