It's not every day you come across a website that is entirely stripped down of bells and whistles or advertisements and clickbait. It's even stranger seeing an online gaming website with literally NOTHING but free and fun games in a format so simple you keep wondering when you'll be bombarded with spam. But no spam comes. Instead, Solitaire.org brings a stunningly simple and clean portal to the classic games you've grown up with.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted countless industries. We might even say it's disrupted ALL of them! Some industries, like hospitality, have felt the full burden of labor shortages, regulatory impacts, and customer reduction. Others, like remote learning and conferencing, have boomed with new and eager eyeballs looking for career transitions or escapes from less than ideal realities. Kids, regrettably, have been stuck in the middle of it all while learning expectations continue to be demanding and parents are pushed and pulled more than ever before. In the midst of the chaos, I'd like to share a little gem with you that might just kill a few birds with one stone - the CulinarySchools.org resource - a digital platform for a plethora of culinary things like kids games, cooking tools, and a robust culinary-focused database for anyone looking to pursue their gastronomic passion.

Guys can be hard to shop for and if they're also a dad...good luck! Men traditionally fit within a few major categories. There's the gadget dude who loves all the latest tech wizardry (what's a Raspberry Pi again?). The audiophile, with his headphones and earbuds, is always on the prowl for new music, podcasts, and audiobook platforms. There's the golf guy in need of golf balls (still can't escape the sand trap), tees, and club gear. There's the modern man searching for new shades (that means glasses for you "unwoke" folk), watches, and skinny jeans. And the hunter, who's currently lost at a Bass Pro Shop near you checking out arrow tips and fishing rods. While all these men have different interests, one thing unites many of them. They're mostly meat lovers. Based on current surveys, 96% of men welcome meat on their plate. And that makes beef jerky bouquets from Manly Man Co. an excellent gift idea for the special dad, husband, fiancé, boyfriend, "just a friend", or son in your life. Also, they let me in on a little pre-Black Friday and Black Friday coupon code, so read through to save yourself some piggy bank bacon.

Anyone who knows me beyond the corporate veil knows I love video games. They're so much more than mind-numbing, pixelated sessions of cause and effect. Video games encapsulate how we interpret the world around us. Video games hold our hopes and dreams in a world of unlimited possibilities. Video games allow us to focus on something other than workplace or family stress. For a moment, however brief, video games become not just an escape but a gateway to endless wonder and excitement. Intrigue, emotion, and imaginative plot twists are up for grabs in the modern world. Whether you're looking for your own escape or wholesome activities to keep kids busy and entertained, please welcome Plays.org!

Influencers are everywhere! With new technology connecting more people every day, it's nearly impossible to escape the enormous bubble of influence popping out of unexpected places. To older generations, the role of an influencer may seem unnecessary. But that's only because words have changed over time. If we put a "Big Movie Star" in a commercial, everyone would understand why. Those big stars had massive pull when it came to influencing people's personal choices. But times change and now there are unexpected people popping up with thousands and millions of friends...followers...and rabid fans in almost every country. Interested in becoming a value-driven influencer or hoping to work with one for your brand? Keep reading!

If you've been blogging for any length of time, you're bound to come face to face with the reality of your old site feeling a bit stale. I used to think changing my website around meant the current style or format was bad. But that really isn't the case. As we develop as bloggers and website owners, we grow and change.

This trying something new is exactly what a branding refresh is all about. Here are 3 simple strategies to refresh your brand's blog.
