December 14, 2020 by Kevin McKeever Leave a Comment

Parenting self-care can be as simple a relaxing, quiet break on a park bench.

It's been a trying year for everyone, but parents with young children have been hit especially hard because of COVID-19. Schools replaced with remote learning, making moms and dads full-time teachers. Daycares closed. Playgroups forbidden. Playgrounds taped off. Youth sports canceled.

One bad banana in the bunch started Vernon D. Gibbs II on his journey to become a children's author. The New Jersey stay-at-home father of three, who is a contributor to our City Dads Group blog, said his son, Justin, was getting ready to toss out a bruised and overripe banana several years ago.

Throw away the razors, men -- it's Movember mustache time.

The November campaign challenges dudes (and those who love them) to grow Movember mustaches or exercise daily during the month. This is done to spark conversation and raise funds for research related to men's physical and mental … [Read more...]
