Season 2 starts now.

What began as an idea between a dad and his daughters has become something so much bigger. More products. Better formulas. Bigger plans. And we’re just getting started.

Welcome to the next chapter of Papa & Filles.

Thank you to everyone who’s been here since day one, and welcome to everyone joining us now. Trust us… you haven’t seen anything yet.

Healing isn’t always dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like showing up, doing the work, and wondering why progress still feels slower than expected.

This submission explores the quiet reality of healing after childhood wounds and Joseph’s response offers a perspective that many of us rarely hear.

Swipe to read an exclusive excerpt, then continue the full conversation in the BTC app.

Just a reminder to stop scrolling for a second.

It’s a beautiful day.
Go outside. Dance a little. Laugh a lot.
The laundry can judge you later.

Happy Sunday.

People ask me what it’s like cleaning the house with kids.

Imagine brushing your teeth while eating Oreos.

That’s the level of progress we’re making around here.

Every room I clean somehow gets dirtier. I don’t know where it comes from anymore. I’m starting to think my kids are just tiny raccoons with excellent negotiation skills.

I took the girls to @canadaswonderland because apparently parenting now includes willingly standing near 18 roller coasters while your children act like they pay the mortgage.
Between the rides, the snacks, Splash Works, and me pretending I’m emotionally available after a full day of theme park cardio, it was actually a perfect summer day.
The girls had the time of their lives. I had fries, questionable stamina, and several moments where I seriously considered lying down beside a stroller that wasn’t mine.
If you’re looking for a full family day out this summer, Canada’s Wonderland really does have something for everyone — big thrills, little thrills, water park, food, entertainment, and enough walking to count as both exercise and punishment.
Get your tickets online in advance and make a day of it.

Remember when the house phone rang and the whole family sprinted like they were qualifying for the Olympics?

Now my phone rings, I make eye contact with it… and we both know how this ends.

If it’s important, leave a voicemail.
If it’s an emergency, text me.
If you text, “I tried calling,” congratulations… I watched the whole thing happen. 😂

Tell me I’m not the only one pretending the phone doesn’t exist.

They said twins are a blessing.

Nobody said it was a Netflix true crime documentary. 😫

A girl at the store told me I look young for my age.

Naturally, I was ready to accept my crown, call Vogue, and moisturize in slow motion.

Then she said, “I’d say early 50s… maybe late 40s.”

I’m 46.

Forty. Six.

So apparently I look incredible for someone who survived the Oregon Trail.

Anyway, I’ll be spending the rest of the day staring into a compact mirror and questioning every life choice since 1998.

I thought I was going to sip sparkling drinks and look cute on a farm.

Instead, Ocean Spray had me in a full-body fishing wetsuit (bog waders) learning how to harvest sparkles from the water. And honestly? I committed.

The farm was gorgeous, the drinks were delicious, and the new Ocean Spray Sparkling Zero Sugar lineup is made for summer. ☀️✨

Cranberry, Pineapple Passion Fruit, and Mixed Berry – zero sugar, fewer calories, and full-on sparkle.

So yes, Sparkle Farm is real. And unfortunately for everyone, I may have found my calling.

*Sparkle farming may be imaginary, but Ocean Spray Sparkling is real.
