Let’s start this whole thing off by pointing out that Brittany and I just absolutely do not agree on radio preferences. I have a huge disdain for listening to the same 3 Taylor Swift and Adele songs during the same 15 song loop every hour on whatever Top 40 station’s territory we happen to be […]

It’s my first Father’s Day. Well, as a Dad, you know. As I have never gotten to answer the question, “What do you want for Father’s Day?” I did what every other Dad would do: I took to the internet. And I am thankful I did, because I discovered Bitters & Bottles. What is Bitters
