This post was sponsored by Nature Made® as a part of an Ambassador Program for Influence Central It’s hard to believe that this time next year; I’ll be 40 years old. With my son graduating this year and my daughter the following, I realize that I want to be around for the long run. Yes, I’m thinking about the day I have little ones running around calling me papa. With that, I’ve slowly changed my eating habits and have been exercising. When I get home in the mornings, I’ve devoted some time to working out on my Bowflex and walking. Seeing that I’m getting up there in age, I’ve been…

Where are all my guys out there that love fashion? When I’m at home, especially during football season, you will find me in my team’s gear, but when I’m out with my family, I’m generally in some causal wear.

Get McCafé From Your Local Grocery Store, Not Just McDonald’s
“I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for McCafé packaged coffee. I received product samples as well as a monetary promotional incentive to thank me for my participation.” Now that the cold weather is upon us, I usually leave for work earlier so I can get some coffee from McDonald’s. Since I work at night, I definitely can use the caffeine, and their McCafé coffee is some of the best coffee you’ll ever drink. For the longest, I’d always tell my co-workers that I wish they sold it in stores because I would love the luxury of making it in the comfort of my own home.…

He used to pack all of his camping equipment to stay in the woods all day and not come home until it was dark. There were several occasions where we just set up a tent anywhere in the woods and that’s where we slept for the night. Of course, he would have all…
