About What’s Cooking Pops

Let’s talk about how this all started — I’m Pops: full-time dad, part-time chef, and unofficial reviewer of every gadget that claims to make family life easier. I launched this blog after years of cooking, parenting, traveling, and tech troubleshooting collided into one big, hilarious story I had to share.

What began as a few scribbled recipes and packing lists has grown into a full-blown destination for practical advice, honest reviews, and the kind of humor only parents truly appreciate.


Our Story

If you’ve ever wondered what’s really cooking in the average household — hint: it’s not just dinner — then you’ll feel right at home here.

It all began during one of those classic dad moments: I’m flipping eggs, booking flights, testing earbuds, and yelling at my kids to put their shoes on… and thought, “This is gold.”

That was the beginning of What’s Cooking Pops. We’ve since:

  • Traveled with three generations (and only lost one charger)

  • Tested gear, gadgets, and groceries that matter to families

  • Shared tips that are actually usable (and funny)

  • Built a space for real parents to connect

It’s not just about surviving parenthood — it’s about enjoying the ride, and laughing as much as possible along the way.


Our Values

Here’s what we’re all about:

  • Family First – even when they forget the Wi-Fi password

  • Healthy-ish Living – veggies, yes… but also pancakes

  • Honesty Over Hype – if a product stinks, we say so

  • Efficiency with a Smile – time-saving tips that won’t bore you

We know you’re here because you care about your family, your time, your health — and maybe even your sanity. We’re here for that too.


What Makes Us Different

Here’s what makes us truly pop:

  • A dad’s voice in a world full of mom blogs

  • No-fluff reviews of stuff real families use (and return)

  • Travel-tested hacks from Machu Picchu to Minecraft weekends

  • Parenting content that’s relatable, never preachy

We’re all about sharing what works — and laughing at what doesn’t.

And what’s really different? This blog is proudly about What’s Cooking Pops, and the journey of modern family life from a dad’s point of view.


Looking Ahead

Let me tell you about what’s coming next…

We’re cooking up:

  • YouTube videos: Real reviews, epic fails, and a few dad jokes

  • Product picks and guides: Stuff we’ve tested, loved, and can’t live without

  • Family travel cheat sheets: Packing lists, itinerary ideas, and sanity-saving hacks

  • Live podcasts and behind-the-scenes stories that prove parenting is the wildest adventure of all

Stick around — it’s only getting better (and possibly louder).


Thanks for Stopping By

If you’ve ever felt like parenting is an unscripted reality show — with a whole lot of heart — this is the place for you.

We’re not about perfection. We’re about real life, real laughs, and real solutions that make family living a little smoother (and way more fun).

Pull up a chair. We’re glad you’re here.
