By Brandy Black As some of you may know we have a YouTube Channel for The Next Family and we have a blast creating content for our subscribers, some silly, some serious and some just super fun! After learning about a Mukbang in which YouTubers eat dinner with their subscribers, we thought we had to try […]
By Brandy Black Susan and I often say that we don’t feel like grown ups on most days. It still seems crazy that we pay a mortgage and have to fix our AC and have 3 kids! How did it all happen so fast? When we were in our early twenties, I wanted to grow […]
We recently received a comment about a couple splitting up and it brought to mind the topic of divorce. My wife and I are no strangers to the topic of divorce. We’ve had discussions about it a few times and each time was scary, but it was also groundbreaking in our relationship. In our most […]
We like to do roundups of our summer favorites on our Youtube channel. It’s a fun way to show our viewers things we love throughout the year, and it often results in funny conversations.

Somehow, with three kids, we have managed the art of traveling because each vacation just seems to get better and better. My wife and I brought the […]
As my daughter Sophia grows older, there’s some new things that I, as a mother, have to talk to her about. Just the other day, as my wife and I were doing our morning routine of exfoliation and facial care with our new Spin for Perfect Skin, we discussed how we’re having to talk to […]
It’s August, you guys, August! And you know what that means — back-to-school time. Does anybody else feel like summer passed by too fast? We do! Granted, we’ve had a great summer. Our family enjoyed a lot of pool days, family concerts, kids events, beach days, and vacations to Vegas, a Dude Ranch, and Portland. […]
Our family has always loved Doc McStuffins, but who knew we could love it even more? In a new episode titled, “The Emergency Plan,” Doc McStuffins features a two-mom, interracial family!
