TheMommiesReviews.com has always been a cozy corner of the internet where family, creativity, and celebration come together. As our blog continues to grow and evolve, it’s time to officially welcome some of the most important people (and pups!) who make our daily life—and our content—so rich, warm, and full of love.
This post introduces the extended Honey-DO crew: David, Charlie, Bear, Bradley, Mikayla, and Ghost. Together, they’re helping us expand our blog into a more inclusive, family-powered space that blends DIY projects, cooking, reviews, events, and heartfelt storytelling.
🛠️ David & Charlie: The Fix-It Duo Behind C & D Honey-DOs
David and Charlie are more than just the men of the house—they’re the hands-on heroes behind our growing business, C & D Honey-DOs. Whether it’s repairing a leaky faucet, building a backyard bench, or testing out the latest home improvement gadgets, these two bring practical know-how and a whole lot of heart to everything they do.
David, our resident handyman and family rock, has a knack for turning honey-do lists into honey-done victories. His quiet strength and steady presence have always been part of our home, and now they’re part of our blog.
Charlie, with his creative spark and tech-savvy mind, brings a modern twist to every project. He’s also the founder of a growing streaming company, where he shares video game content, DIY tips, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of our family life. His energy and humor light up every room—and every post.
Together, they’re expanding C & D Honey-DOs into a full-fledged brand that blends home fixes, family fun, and community connection.
🐾 Meet Bear: The Mascot, Support Animal, and Voice of the Business
No introduction would be complete without Bear, Charlie’s loyal brown Chiweenie and emotional support animal. Bear isn’t just a pet—she’s a calming presence, a source of joy, and the official mascot of C & D Honey-DOs.
In fact, Bear has her own voice in the business. From playful captions to product reviews, she adds a touch of whimsy and warmth that our readers love. You’ll see her pop up in blog images, social media posts, and even our new C & D Honey-DOs badge, where she sits proudly surrounded by tools, a game controller, and a butterfly that honors Suzanne.
🎮 Charlie’s Streaming World: Where Gaming Meets Family
Charlie’s streaming company is more than just gameplay—it’s a window into our family’s creative spirit. He shares:
- DIY tutorials and behind-the-scenes footage from C & D Honey-DOs
- Gaming content with a cozy, family-friendly vibe
- Event coverage with friends and loved ones
- Occasional cooking challenges and recipe tests
His channel is a natural extension of our blog, and we’ll be linking to it regularly so readers can follow along.
🧰 Bradley: Business Associate, Family Friend and our son from another Mother
Bradley is Charlie’s longtime friend and trusted business associate. He’s been instrumental in helping C & D Honey-DOs grow, attending events, brainstorming ideas, and lending a hand wherever needed.
Bradley’s girlfriend, Ghost, is also part of our extended circle. She brings her own creative flair to events and family outings, and we’re excited to feature her in upcoming posts.
Together with Charlie and Mikayla (Charlie’s fiancée), they form a vibrant, supportive crew that shows up for each other—and for our readers.
🍳 Cooking, Reviews, and Honey-DO Adventures
David and Charlie aren’t just handy—they’re handy in the kitchen, too. You’ll start seeing more posts featuring their favorite recipes, cooking experiments, and product reviews. From grilling tips to gadget tests, they’re bringing a fresh perspective to our food and lifestyle content.
We’ll also be launching a new series called “Honey-DO Tested”, where they try out tools, appliances, and home hacks to see what really works. Bear will be chiming in with her own “paw of approval” for pet-friendly finds.

🌸 Honoring Suzanne: The Butterfly That Connects Us All
Every part of this expansion is rooted in love—and in memory. The butterfly in our new badge isn’t just a design choice. It’s a tribute to Suzanne, whose spirit continues to guide our family and our blog. David and Charlie wanted her symbol included, and that gesture speaks volumes about the kind of men they are.
It’s a reminder that even as we grow, we stay grounded in the people we love and the stories we carry forward.
