Father’s Day Gifts for the Jewelry Guys In Your Life

Image
This post is brought to you by CJ Affiliate’s VIP Content Service. Thank you Sears for sponsoring this post. While this was a sponsored opportunity from Sears, all content and opinions expressed here are my own. For Father’s Day this year, I was a bit clueless about what to buy for the dads in my life. It’s only Mal’s second Father’s Day and my father-in-law is one of those guys who seems to have everything, so I was stumped about what to get them for the upcoming holiday. Quinn found this amazing shirt for “Dada,” no problem, but I wanted to get something for Mal too since he is truly the best father ever. And, of course, we couldn’t forget Papi on Father’s Day. When I started to wrack my brain for gift ideas, I realized both of these dads are “jewelry guys.” Ok, they’re not into “bling-y” pieces and they probably would never buy a piece for themselves, but they definitely appreciate a nice accessory and wear them regularly in their daily lives, so when Sears reached out about

Street Workout: Bodyweight Calisthenics for Primal Strength

Image
The following guest post from Al Kavadlo & Danny Kavadlo is adapted from their book STREET WORKOUT and is published with permission from Dragon Door Publications. Enjoy! In the beginning, we crawled. We hunted. We climbed. We played. We did a lot of things. Early man used his arms, legs and entire body every time he pulled himself up a tree to pick fruit or hoisted up a mammoth carcass for the weekly feast. He didn’t isolate body parts when he fought to survive. He didn’t jump or sprint because it was “leg day.” He did it because a saber-toothed tiger was gonna rip him apart if he didn’t. Fast forward a few millennia and we find mankind erecting the Egyptian Sphinx, Stonehenge and the Great Wall of China. It takes a great deal of raw, physical strength to move mountain-sized boulders, but we had it. There was no isolation there, friends, just the full body working together in harmony. Trust me, these architects were not at the gym doing three sets of ten hammer curls. The Acro

Market Watch: Fennel

Image
If you don’t think you’re a fan of fennel, it’s the perfect time of year to give this remarkable veggie another chance. Head to the farmers market and pick up these sweet and delicate young bulbs while the getting’s good.   Fennel Facts These edible bulbs of fennel are referred to as the “Florence” or “ finocchio ” variety. Don’t be turned off by the anise descriptor often attached to this member of the carrot family. Fennel’s licorice essence is extremely subtle and becomes even more subdued when cooked. Fennel also contains plentiful amounts of vitamins and minerals, including A, C, folate, calcium and potassium. One cup has fewer than 30 calories but 3 grams of hunger-fighting fiber.   What to Do with Fennel There are more ways to use fennel in your kitchen than you might think. The bulb, stalks and feathery fronds are all edible and taste slightly different from one another. Raw fennel bulb is best thinly sliced with a sharp knife or mandoline and tossed with freshly squee

Quinn’s Pizza + Bird-Themed Birthday Party

Image
Quinn’s 2nd birthday party was a huge success! Our little guy had such a great time. Many, many thanks to all of the family and friends who made it a special day for him! We planned to have the party outside in our backyard, but it actually ended up raining, so we moved things inside. Our Plan B actually ended up working out really well since we had so many kids at the party and they loved playing in our playroom . New toys at someone else’s house = THE BEST. Hi, Finn! We joke that he and Quinn will start their own law firm someday: “Finn & Quinn Attorneys at Law.” Eventually, the rain slowed down and the kiddos (and adults) were able to play outside. Water tables  = also THE BEST. Then, it was time for pizza, which is one of Quinn’s favorite foods. He also loves birds, so a pizza + bird-themed party made perfect sense. And did you see the adorable custom banners at the start of this blog post?! Amazing, right? Kate from SunflowerPaperie  (her Etsy shop is the cute
