As a parent, we expect a lot from ourselves. We have to be the best at managing schedules, being present at every school event, the best hugger — just the best for our kids. Though I’m confident in most of those things, there was one place in the parenting sphere that I didn’t feel too […]
For those who haven’t been watching our vlogs, this week Susan had to quickly go home to her parent’s house after her mother was in an accident. So for a few days, I had to manage our three kids solo. Yes, it was a little hectic and I truly missed not having Susan around, but […]
Recently, we were out and about with our three kids and my wife and I were so excited to see that stores and brands were supporting Pride Month with posters and rainbow flags. We were explaining what Pride was and I must have said “Gay Pride,” because all of a sudden our son starting yelling out, […]
Friday was the last day of 3rd grade for my Sophia which really got me thinking as a mom. Following this summer break, Sophia will be entering 4th grade. Though she will still be in the same school, 4th grade just feels so much closer to middle school than 3rd grade did. Sophia has always […]
As parents, we love documenting the lives of our children. “Stand there!” “Smile!” ee say, and they stand and smile and are so happy to be at the forefront of the camera lens. Many of you know we’ve been vlogging 20 days straight (we’re going for 30 days) now and with that we have to […]
My wife, Susan, and I have a plan to vlog on The Next Family Youtube channel for 30 days. We just hit 13 days, so we thought we’d switch things up and have a two-mom video where we talked about some current news and awesome viral videos. As you watch our video, you’ll see just […]
One of the best perks of parenting is how your kids can sometimes bring out the inner child in you. We must admit that last week, Susan and I channeled our inner-children in quite a major way. It started off with a really amazing prank on our kids. We woke up “late” and rushed […]
This Wednesday was IDAHOT, International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia. As we all know, days like IDAHOT are very important to the LGBT community. Though we’ve made a lot of strides in the past 20 years for LGBT rights, we still have a long way to go as there are still states in the […]
This last weekend was Mother’s Day and it was fantastic for me and my wife. As a two-mom family, we decided years ago that we both deserved an entire day to ourselves in celebration of Mother’s Day. Some years, my day is on Saturday and some years it’s on Sunday. In addition to each of us […]
This last weekend we attempted to film a Youtube video for our series “The LGBTQ View,” where we discuss LGBT-related news topics. We first got distracted when our merchandise arrived by mail while we were filming. When we were finally able to get back on topic and discuss LGBTQ news, well, we got off topic […]
