What a week! I know we say that every week, but this week was busy! We had Amazon lives, our e-books launched, we helped at school, voice lessons, we made Thanksgiving sides so the kitchen was messy, and so much more. Could we pack more into our week? The answer is yes, the kids always find more for us to do!
Did you do something growing up that you thought was so normal, but people have now told you is gross or weird as an adult? Well I did, and let’s be honest, I still do. Growing up I would put frosting on my saltine crackers, and let’s be honest, I still do, it’s delicious! Something about the saltiness of the crackers and the sweetness of the frosting, is just perfection! Go check out all the “weird” things people do on this post and if you try any let me know in the comments!

I pulled out our Ninja Creami this week and I forgot how much I love it! It’s not just about making ice cream — it’s about making memories. Whether it’s whipping up a post-dinner treat with the kids, or experimenting with protein-packed ice cream after a workout, the Creami turns simple ingredients into something special. It’s fast, easy to use, and easy to change up the flavor when one of the kids wants a different flavor than everyone else, because someone is always going to want something different.

We have found the best camera for kids! Whether you’re shopping for birthday or Christmas presents, this is a must buy for any kid. It’s so fun to see the world through their eyes. It is also great if you are going on any trips, an easy way for your kids to capture memories and they’ll always remember that trip through their eyes and not just the pictures you take!

When ever I play mahjong I get so many questions about it, but the most common one is where do we start?? If I was starting out I would get a set on Amazon and make sure you really love it before buying a nice set from somewhere like Oh My Mahjong and don’t forget, code moderndad can be used here. Mahjong is a great way to gather friends, eat good food, and hang out with friends. So if you are wanting to start something like this with your friends check out this list of things you need to play and maybe send it to your spouse as a hint for a couple of Christmas presents!
