Code:Rad - Birdling Bags

Ashley Longnecker / January 06, 2015

If you know me at all, you know I have a bag problem. I’ll admit that it has gotten better in the last couple years, but I still love to find functional rad bags and Birdling Bags delivers.

Code:Rad - Beddy's Beds

Ashley Longnecker / January 02, 2015

If you have kids with bunk beds you know how much you dread changing their sheets. It sucks, like, for real. I think I’ve found a solution. There is a company called Beddys and they make this zippered all-in-one sheet set! It’s genius. It has zippers on both sides, your child unzips one side to get in bed, then zips it back up in the morning and their bed is made and looks wonderful.

I am not sure how I found Miss Melody Joy on Instagram but I am so glad I did. She is so rad. Not only is she this wonderful carefree spirit, she radiates joy and passion and love. I cannot wait to meet her one day. I have a feeling we would be great friends.

Where do you get high-quality wholesale fitted shirts?

Jonathan Longnecker / December 12, 2014

It's funny, as soon as we decided to get out of the hand-printed t-shirt game we got a flood of questions as to how we were doing it. I keep thinking maybe they shouldn't take advice from the guys closing up shop, right? I kid, I kid. We did learn a ton in our short time doing this and thought it might be helpful if I wrote all this down somewhere on the internets.

What we'll be tackling today is the question we were asked most: "Where did you get your shirts?"

That's a great question. If you're not part of that world and trying to break in it's tough to know where to start.

Get out of town sale

Jonathan Longnecker / December 03, 2014

Hey everybody! How was your Thanksgiving? We had such a great time here in Knoxville - everyone came to our house and we enjoyed a truly relaxed time of stuffing our faces, laughing and actually getting to talk to each other. 

It's funny how even when you spend time with your family, you can still be busy enough to cut it short or just not be mentally present. Maybe it was the fact that everyone was off from work that day - or maybe it was just cold and rainy enough for people to linger, but it was nice to hang with the family.

I've watched in amusement the last several days as what used to be just one day of sales has turned into like 5 days of "money events." Stores opened a day early on Thanksgiving day, Black Friday was still Black Friday, Saturday got devoted to local businesses, Monday the Internet was on sale and then Tuesday was all about giving. I love giving and all, but I just had to laugh and the ridiculousness of the marketing madness. I'm getting a little tired of everyone else telling me when and how to spend my money.
