When Tyler and I decided we were ready to start trying for a baby a couple years ago, we had a talk I’d been dreading: parenting strategy.
We had already experienced growing pains as a young couple trying to blend our two lives into one, and I wasn’t looking forward to introducing a new major topic to the table. We are polar opposites, so I naturally assumed that we would have very different parenting styles.
To my surprise, we agreed that the foundation of our parenting strategy would focus on teaching our future child to always be yourself. And now that Fox is here we stand by that mantra.
Fox has more personality than I know what to do with. He’s hilarious, always making us laugh doing something so witty and intentional. We’re always blown away that he’s so aware of humor. He’s overwhelmingly independent, so we generally let him go about his day making his own decisions (so long as it doesn’t involve crayons and a wall!).
So whether Fox becomes a painter or a chef, astrophysicist or brain surgeon, we will support him no matter what. And it’s my job as his mama to let him know that each and every day. For now, we’ll stick with wearing a cape while we chase around his beloved Dee-Dee.
In order to keep my #MothersPromise a loud and clear theme in our home, my husband created an Always Be Yourself print. Now we will always have a reminder! Here’s a free copy for you to download and include in your home.
Thank you to Pampers for partnering with me today to share my #MothersPromise! Fox is wearing his Pampers Premium Care diapers (which I find to be the best care for his delicate skin). Aside from roughly 10 packs of diapers, Fox has always been a Pampers baby, but this is the first time we tried the Premium Care kind. I got this box from Walmart after learning they’re hypoallergenic, breathable, and have the wetness indicator (I can’t get him to stay still to unstrap and check, so the blue stripe makes it a lot easier – haha).
Do you have a theme you like to live by as a parent? What is your #MothersPromise?

So so so cute! I loved the little video. Fox is clearly comfortable in his own skin and its obvious how happy he is! Your doing a great job with him. Kudos to both of you!

Fox is naught from the first day and day by day his prinks are increased. I read his all blogs and enjoyed it a lot.

The Backrooms first appeared in May 2019, following a post on 4chan’s /x/ board, which is dedicated to paranormal conversations. A user shared a photo of an average yellow room with dirty Backrooms flooring, fluorescent lights humming overhead, and walls that appeared to continue on forever.

My betting routine always starts with checking sports news, because I want my decisions to be guided by verified information instead of guesswork. But I noticed early on that some bookmakers accepting Indian players behave unpredictably—they ignore official updates or adjust odds for no reason. That pushed me to evaluate them more systematically. The most helpful tool turned out to be the bookmaker rating Dailysports, which ranks platforms based on things that matter long-term: payout stability, fair football odds, and clear policy structure. If you want to see what I mean, just click the link and compare how the reviewers break down each bookmaker’s strengths and weaknesses. I especially like that the analysis looks at real-time behaviour during important football events, rather than relying on superficial features. When I test bookmakers now, I check if their odds follow real football developments, whether withdrawals remain smooth, and whether the terms stay transparent after registration. The bookmakers highlighted by Dailysports consistently surpass the rest in these aspects, making betting far more predictable and enjoyable.
