THE FEED: Last Minute DIY Dad Ideas

Every Thursday in The Feed Kevin talks to Kallie from ButFirstCoffee Blog.com about all things parenting and mom life. With Father’s Day coming up this Sunday Kallie has some super fun last minute DIY gift ideas for the kids to make for dad.


Dad Questionnaire – These are super funny for kids like 3-6 you just have them answer questions about their dad like what’s their job, how old are they. You could take it up a notch and do a video of them saying it too.

Popsicle stick picture frames – I think these are just so cute but adorable.

DIY mugs – all you need are some plain mugs (like from the Dollar Tree) and Glass Paint Pens you can get these 2 day shipping on amazon or most craft stores. Once you’ve decorated them allow the mugs to air dry for 8 hours in order to cure. Then, pop them into a non preheated oven, turn to 375, when it hits temperature set a 40 minute timer and then they are done!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy pulls over to save a kitten, ends up saving a whole kitten family

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy pulls over to save a kitten, ends up saving a whole kitten family

Anytime you see an animal struggling to cross a road you’re natural instinct is to pull over and help. Turtles, bunnies, or even kittens.

A guy is going viral after he pulled over to save a kitten and then before he knew 12 more ran out of a patch of weeds near the same road! He ended up saving all of them and they are all getting adopted. So sweet.

There’s video of the whole thing too.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do all your fingernails grow differently?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do all your fingernails grow differently?

I thought about this while cutting my nails the other day. Do they all grow at the same speed/time?

The answer is no. Your fingernails actually grow faster on your dominant hand. The nails also grow faster on your bigger fingers than the small ones.

For a full nail to grow from the base to the tip it takes about 6 months.

Happy nail clipping!

Thursday June 16, 2022:  Unconventional Addiction; Internet Scams; The Facts About Monkey Pox

What advice did your Dad give you that you still follow?  A website recently shared the #1 piece of fatherly advice that modern Dads give and it’s a lot more obvious than you might think!  (:30)

Anna has three crazy news stories and Raven is gonna pick one to talk about!  Today his options are; a barber attacked over a bad haircut, the worst excuse ever for using a counterfeit bill, and a man who rapped about robbing ATM’s gets arrested for robbing ATM’s.  (3:49)

Convenience is nice, but if you’re driving the wrong way down a one way street just to save some time, that’s all I need to know about you!  (6:21)

Have you ever fallen for an online scam?  Producer Jon almost fell for one the other day when he saw a scary message in his inbox!  (9:42)

What’s your strange (but legal) addiction?  Anna and Raven got one of the wildest calls they’ve ever had from a man who has an unexpected addiction to a particular fruit…  (16:55)

Do you find Dad Bod’s attractive?  Anna doesn’t but if you can convince her otherwise, you could win a $200 Home Depot gift card!  (28:13)

First it was covid and now everyone is talking about the Monkey Pox!  But is it really something to worry about?  Infectious disease expert Dr. Betina Fries spoke to Anna and Raven about what you need to know about this latest disease.  (30:57)

Tom owned a leather jacket that he LOVED and wore it everywhere. Hannah hated how it looked because it was all tattered and made him look like a “biker dude”. Finally, she had enough and she donated it without telling him and he’s furious.  She refuses and says she loves him; she cares to much about him to let him embarrass himself in that coat.  Whose side are you on?  (34:14)

Jojo and her Mom have a shot at $1300!  Can their combined efforts beat Raven and win them the jackpot?  (40:46)
