PTPAMay 13, 2016

It kind of boggles my mind that there’s not enough said or taught about in our kids circles regarding the dangers of pornagraphy.

Can we talk about Chris Hemsworth’s Homemade T-Rex Cake?!

PTPAMay 10, 2016

Chris Hemsworth pulled a classic parent move and left his daughter’s birthday cake order to the last minute. Of course, the bakery told Hemsworth they’re too busy to bake him a T-Rex cake (sorry but…who is too busy for Chris Hemsworth?!).
