42 countries. One school. One United States of America. This is what diversity looks like. 🌍 While some try to divide us, today was a reminder of what makes us stronger—diversity, representation, inclusion and the power of community. Our kids aren’t just learning about different cultures; they’re growing up surrounded by them. Diversity isn’t a buzzword—it’s the foundation for a better future. Let’s protect it. 💙 #paradeofnations #diversity #diversitymatters #representation #unity #parentingwithpurpose #tiktokpartner
Doing my daughter’s hair is more than just part of our routine—it’s one of my favorite ways to connect with her. Dads, if you want to learn, you absolutely can. It’s about showing up, building confidence, and reminding her every day how beautiful and strong she is. Being her dad is the greatest gift, and every braid, twist, and curl is just one more way I get to show her how much I love her. #DadLife #GirlDad #NaturalHairCare #parentingmoments #hairstylebydad @GaBBY Bows - Confidence
Five years ago, my daughter joined our family through foster care. Even after adoption I never expected her to call me dad—I never wanted her to feel that she had to. So I just kept showing up. Doing her hair. Driving her to dance practices. Encouraging her to dream big. But recently… during one of our quiet moments, when I least expected it, she asked if she could start calling me dad. It hit me hard. That one question made me realize it’s the small things.. the consistency that builds connection. This is what makes a dad. Showing up every day. Anyone can be a father.. but a dad is something completely different. (And you don’t need an official title to be one). #FosterCare #Adoption #GirlDad #hairstylebydad #ChosenFamily #dancedad #dads
My wife showed up to work in full unicorn pajamas… because she thought it was pajama day. 🦄💀 Spoiler: It wasn’t (really). 😂 #TeacherLife #MomLife #PajamaDayFail #ParentingHumor #ComedyTok #elementaryschool
Wife said I don’t get enough done around the house… so I made some changes. 👀😂 No paycheck, but hey, the dryer works. 🤷🏾♂️ #marriedlifecomedy #homeprojects #dadlife #DIY #husbandwife #Relatable #tiktokpartner
Day 2 of my “unpaid sabbatical.” It’s Valentines Day and I’m on a mission: fixed the ceiling fan, conquered the laundry mountain, got my son to the doctor and even made my wife’s favorite dessert. Happy wife = happy life. #MarriageGoals #ValentinesDay #HusbandLife #Dadlife #moms #tiktokpartner
His birth family has always come to visit by train… so trains have never just been trains to him. They’ve meant love, connection, and family. But he’s never been on one himself—until now. ❤️🚂 #OpenAdoption #AdoptionStory #Family #Parenting #HeartfeltMoments
My son said he’s the KING of the house because it’s Black History Month… and honestly, we had to let it ride 👑😂 Mom and Dad agreed—we’ll revisit leadership roles in March. #blackhistorymonth #kingenergy #dadlife

Full video: Parade of Nations at our school. Thank you for all the love—this event moved me deeply, but what moved me even more was seeing how many of you felt the same. This wasn’t just a school parade; it was a powerful statement about unity, representation, and the world we want to build for our kids. Many of the kids have seen the video and have seen the love that it has spread- they were so excited. Our youth are the future, and when we uplift diversity, we shape a better tomorrow. One Love! ❤️✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿❤️ #paradeofnations #diversitymatters #strongertogether #representationmatters #onelove
Please welcome D. He recently came into our home through foster care. Too often, teens in foster care have an uncertain path—bounced from home to home, aged out with nowhere to go, or feeling they aren’t wanted anywhere. But every kid deserves stability, love, and a place to belong. Foster care isn’t easy, but these kids need people willing to step up. If you’ve ever thought about fostering, especially teens, this is your sign. ❤️ #FosterCare #FosterParenting #FosterCareAwareness #FosterTeens #OpenYourHome
It’s 0°. The kids have a snow day. TikTok’s playing with our emotions. Nazi salutes are being normalized. Oligarchs are taking over. The Detroit Lions lost AGAIN. But hey, at least my coffee turns to snow. ❄️☕️ #SnowDay #DadLife #HellIsFreezingOver #inaugurationday
Baking up some brownie points. My son and I are making my wife’s favorite dessert—hot fudge pudding cake—because let’s be real, keeping mom happy is a full-time job! 💀👏 #DadLife #BakingWithKids #ChocolateLovers #HappyWifeHappyLife #ParentingWin #FoodTok #DessertTime Recipe For the cake: • 3/4 cup granulated sugar • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder • 2 teaspoons baking powder • 1/4 teaspoon salt • 1/2 cup milk (any variety) • 1/3 cup melted butter • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract if substituting) For the fudge sauce: • 1/2 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 cup brown sugar • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder • 1 1/4 cups hot water Instructions 1. Preheat and Prepare the Dish • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). • Grease an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking dish. 2. Make the Cake Batter 1. In a large bowl, whisk together granulated sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. 2. Add milk, melted butter, and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract substitute). 3. Stir until smooth and well combined. 4. Pour the batter into the greased baking dish, spreading evenly. 3. Make the Fudge Sauce 1. In a separate bowl, mix granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cocoa powder. 2. Sprinkle this dry mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish. 4. Add Hot Water (DO NOT STIR) • Carefully pour hot water over the batter and sugar mixture. • Do not stir—this step creates the self-saucing effect. 5. Bake • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set but the bottom still has a gooey fudge layer. 6. Cool & Serve • Let the cake cool for 10-15 minutes before serving. • Spoon out warm cake along with the fudge sauce. • Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
