Despite the conditions, the kids always want to be outside and active during the summer. For the past couple of years I have kept a few essentials in the car that have served me and my family well as we play outside, take a summertime road trip, or have fun exploring our city.
I am so grateful to have a husband that is super hands-on with our kids and our household! Cameron and I have a pretty good system of splitting the workload 50/50. While he engages in tickle fights with Cami and Hendrix, I wash and fold laundry. While I build peg towers with the kids, Cameron washes dishes. That being said, even in a home where both parents take an active role with the kids and the chores, there is just something about mamas that make us the ultimate “command center” for the goings on of the household. As I prepare both kids to get back into the swing of things for the new school year, I am relying on a few hacks I have learned that make #momlife so much easier.
From tickle fights to diaper duty, Cameron and many other dads are stepping up in a big way with the kids, and we salute you dudes this Father’s Day! In fact, I have a cool Father’s Day gift idea for all those modern dads out there. Here are 4 ways modern dads are taking over daddy duty and why we are loving them for it!
As a mom, I am always looking for ways to get things done faster so that I can spend more time being with my husband and kids. A quick foil-wrapped fish dinner and some sides and dinner is made easy allowing us more time to enjoy each other’s company as we eat together. Join us at our table for 4 ways to connect with your family around the dinner table.
Day after day pretty much the same routine with rarely a thought about being a black woman married to a white man raising bi-racial children. The other day someone approached my family with a comment and it sparked me to write this open letter to my children that they are too young to understand now, but one day will appreciate from their black mother married to their white father.
