I think as a society, we have evolved in just giving coffee mugs and ridiculous ties to the fathers in our lives. I have to admit, I used to be guilty of just that. After all, I knew my dad liked coffee and he sometimes wore a tie.
Now, while I will include the aforementioned gifts in this post, I think we should explore other things for our special men.
It's unofficially summertime and if your child has curly hair, it's a trying time! While our hair (Type 3 and Type 4) is rather resilient, it can also be rather problematic at times.
Here are some tips to keep your (and your child's!) hair looking fresh this summer, no matter what your hair type is:
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep your child's hair moisturized.
I recently had mashed sweet potatoes. Well, let's backtrack just a tad. It's not the first time I've had it, but it was a first time in a long while I realized just how freakin' amazing they were.
Despite my newfound sent home to glory moment in the kitchen, I had to wonder why sweet potatoes and its various forms (my favorite being the sweet potato pie) was so good
Recently, all three of us (really, Maks and Bear) went to see our great friends, Ian and Josh, as they did their new podcast adventure, Mom's Garage. The focus was on Maks as he spoke about his photography. He also touched on how he dealt with Ethan's death, and how photography really helped me become a better man.

We decided to furnish our entire home with mostly IKEA items. (No, this is not a sponsored post.) We decided on that for two reasons: Bear and
I’m a lifelong fan of Michael Jackson. Have been for years. I love MJ so much, I even introduced him to my son, who’s still trying to grasp why he looked one way in one year (Thriller) but completely different in another year (This Is It). I’ll explain it to him when he’s old enough.

So, you're probably wondering why we made

It's been a hella long time since I posted anything vegan on here. Laziness is really the excuse.
Now that's out of the way, lol, let me talk to you about a recipe I just found - tempeh tacos.
I noticed a lot of vegan recipes use a lot of the same ingredients - tofu, tempeh, and jackfruit - in various forms. While it might be exciting at
I know, I know, I know...maybe my old ass shouldn't be shopping at Forever 21.
I'm not trying to be like one of those "cool moms" who's trying to be hip and cool. Sometimes, I just like a good deal.
And buy 2, get one free for any jewelry is a pretty good deal.
Yo, check these out!
This reminds me of the old-school door-knocker earrings from way back when. These are plastic
