I happen to be the mom of a very rough & tumble, totally awesome boy. Many of you know my son Wyatt, who is 2.5 years old. He has his own hashtag on Instagram… Last week he held a 30-second plank, took a bite out of his brother and did a major face plant on his bike, then hopped right back on it. {wearing a helmet of course} He is one tough cookie. I confess, some days it is hard to be his mom, but he is everything I want in a son, brave & fearless. As we head into summer I plan a little differently for Wyatt than I do for Cash. His Summer Essentials are a little more “fitting” we could say to his personality.
Wyatt’s Mohawk
It came time to cut the boys’ hair. Cash got the clean cut that he usually does, but we went a new direction with the Wy-Guy. In preparation for Summer, we decided to give the little daredevil a perfect haircut that reflects his personality. It may or may not also serve as a warning to those who approach… 😉
Original Blends Styling Gel
To pull off Wyatt’s Mohawk all summer I knew I would need a pretty decent stock of Styling Gel. Enter, Original Blends Styling Gel. Their gel is a vegan hair product that is never tested on animals. It is made with flaxseed and soy protein which provides shine and hold. {We have never had a flaky residue on Wyatt’s Mohawk!} I love that it doesn’t contain alcohol which can dry out hair and cause breakage.
It smells like Heaven…
Among all these great product qualities that I can tell you about forever, I cannot share with you over the Internet how amazing it smells. It looks like honey in a jar, although it is so smooth, and it smells like a field of tropical flowers. When Wyatt has it in his Mohawk I carry him around a little extra and cannot stop kissing his precious {badass} head. As they say on their website, “If the honey-like appearance doesn’t get you to try it, then as soon as you smell it you’ll be sold.”
Summer Mohawk Action
We’ve been putting this product to the test for a whole month now and I am very impressed. Wyatt loves to talk about his mohawk, “Daddy cut it and Mommy styles it” he gleams. The smooth texture doesn’t bother him and he can touch it all he wants without messing it up. He actually loves to comb it! One mohawk even lasted through a whole naptime and bedtime! And, there was no flaky residue.
Let’s enjoy some Mohawk Summer Action:

I have so many more picture of the Mohawk but I thought I’d keep it short and sweet and to the point. 😉 This Styling Gel is our Ultimate Summer Essential for this rough & tumble two-year-old!
Yes, I just wrote a whole post about my son’s Mohawk #bloggermomsrock. But clearly, you can see that this kid needed one!

Don’t you think your kid needs a Mohawk now though? I mean seriously, how awesome does this kid look? This mohawk keeps us smiling all week which does make it a little easier for me to handle his crazy. I know the next mom I see with a kid wearing a Mohawk will get a high-five and a head nod from me! #imomsohard

I am beyond grateful for Cash’s Pre-school teachers and the experience he had his first year. He was the youngest kid in the building and he came out walking and talking like a Kindergartener… He still has 2 more years before he actually gets to go to Kindergarten though, since he’s still only three. In my humble opinion, I think he was prepared to start Pre-K so young because we had set up a Toddler Classroom at home, 
Father’s Day is just around the corner and your special dude obviously needs a new Dad Mug. Dad Mugs are the perfect way to give him that sarcastic, proud, or even simple iconic coffee cup that sums him up in a quick proclamation. I jumped on Etsy {where else?} to pull for you some awesomely Father-worthy Dad Mugs he might like. I know mine would!
