This post is sponsored by Mirum, but opinions expressed are my own How many people deal with heartburn on a constant basis? Of course, as I got older, my body started going through the changes I’d been warned about. Heartburn was something I was dealing with before I knew it. For all of you that don’t know, heartburn is the burning pain or discomfort in your chest that can travel to your throat and neck. There are many things that can trigger your heartburn such as alcohol, spicy foods or even overeating. I love spicy foods; but unfortunately, spicy foods trigger heartburn for me. When you’re trying to find the…
Stay Safe in the Water with Nationwide’s Make Safe Happen Campaign
This is a sponsored post by Nationwide. All opinions are my own. Are your kids finally out of school for the summer? Do you and your family have any vacation plans this summer? If your kids are anything like mine, I’m pretty sure they are ready to soak up some sun and spend time at the beach for a few days. With my daughter graduating from high school last week, we hit the beach the following day. Like every vacation, we made sure to talk to our kids about the dangers of being in the water and not to try anything crazy. We had read about two people drowning…
Daddy’s Hangout Presents 2Pac B-Day Mix Volume 7
It’s hard to believe that 2Pac would be turning 47-years-old today if he were alive. It’s even crazier that he’s been gone almost 22 years now. Despite being gone for that long, he still is very influential in today’s hip hop culture. Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are my two favorite artists of today and they’ve always called themselves Makaveli Trained Soldiers. Kanye West has continued to praise 2Pac any chance he gets and talk about how much Pac spoke his mind. For the past six years, I’ve celebrated 2Pac’s birthday by putting together a B-Day Mix. The compilations consist of his greatest hits, remixes or tracks that may have…
7 Great Father’s Day Gift Ideas Courtesy of Babbleboxx
This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx.com. It’s hard to believe that Father’s Day is right around the corner. It’s the one day where it’s all about you, but it also makes me miss my dad even more. Every year it makes me appreciate fatherhood and my kids even more. For me, Father’s Day came a little early as my oldest daughter graduated from high school a couple weeks ago. Ever since my oldest two began working, they always try to go out of their way to get me something despite me telling them no. My youngest child is still making Father’s Day cards and have already told me she’s going…
2018 NBA Finals: Golden State Meets Cleveland for 4th Consecutive Year
For the 4th consecutive year, we have the Golden State Warriors battling the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals. In 2015 and 2017, Golden State walked away with the championship. In 2016, Cleveland claimed the title after an epic comeback after being down 3-1. Lebron James has played like a man possessed in these playoffs and all of this is in his 15th season. Once again, he willed the Cleveland Cavaliers with another epic performance in Game 7 against Boston. If Cleveland have any chance of bringing another title to Cleveland, he must have help from his supporting cast. Golden State had to go 7 games with Houston to get…
Instant Lather and Savings with Dove When Shopping at CVS
This Post is sponsored by Mirum but all opinions are 100% my own. It seemed like we had one of the longest winters that I could remember. It’s crazy to think that we have less than a month before we start our summer. With summer around the corner, that usually means more time spent outside. Whether I’m outside playing basketball or throwing a football with the neighborhood kids or doing some yard work, it’s hot. This is the time of year where I’ll stock up on body wash because I take more showers throughout the summer more than any other time. I’ve been a fan of Dove and Dove Men+Care…

During this time of year, I’m usually the busiest and this year is no different. For starters, it’s the return of doing yardwork, which is something that consumes a lot of my time.

My Take Philadelphia Eagles Finally Winning the Super Bowl
It finally happened! The Philadelphia Eagles have finally won the Super Bowl. I’ll be honest, this is one of the best days of my life seeing them win it all. I’ve got two other teams that has won championships and I was ecstatic. The Boston Red Sox finally winning in 2004 was an awesome experience, then the titles in 2007 and 2013 was the icing on the cake. The Florida State Seminoles winning the titles in 1993, 1999 and 2013 were nice also. When Tom Brady threw that Hail Mary on the final play and the ball hit the ground, you know what hit the fan. My kids were laughing…

While I’ve tried my fair share of great products in the process, that isn’t the only thing to give your skin the healthy look.

Black Friday Shopping with the 2018 Mazda CX9
I received the vehicle from Mazda from Drive Shop. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s hard to believe how much time has flown by. It seemed like yesterday when we were going shopping for our son before he turned 1-year-old. Over the years, we have let our kids spend the night with their papa and great-grandmother while we shop. Last year, we took our oldest two kids while my youngest stayed with her cousins at her papa’s house.

Ooma Home Security Protect My Home While at Work
If you have followed me over the years, then you know I’m a 3rd shift worker. This has gone on for quite some time now, which is good to help with my family. Throughout all the years, my worries were minimal because we’ve had great neighbors who looked out for each other. If that wasn’t enough, it seems like crimes pretty much never occurred. Fast forward to 2017, we relocated to a better neighborhood in a bigger city and when you turn on the TV, all you see or hear about is crimes. Recently, one hit too close to home, which has got me texting throughout the night because I…
