Bedhead Dads

A new blog, Bedhead Moms, encourages women to accept themselves for everything they are, a terrific and much-needed message that we whole-heartedly agree with. But what does it have to do with a blog about Mormon dads? Well, as it turns out, this week they’ve turned their attention to us. (This sort of thing happens a lot around this time every year. No idea why, but we think it is pretty great.)

In their “Bedhead Dad” series, Bedhead Moms introduces us via a collection of photo essays to a wide range of dads who share two things in common: their faith and their complete devotion to their families.

  • There’s The Cool Dad, who just welcomed a baby into his home after years of struggle, including an adoption that fell through.
  • There’s the Part Time SAHD (Stay at Home Dad), a photographer who also helps feed his family by turning nearly every square inch of the lot of his Southern California home into something his family can consume in Providing More Than Money.
  • There’s the distribution manager for a major motion picture studio who loves those small, unforgettable occasions with his children in Enjoying the Moment.

Bedhead Moms has capped their Bedhead Dads week with a beautifully produced video tribute to fathers that is both funny and warm, Dear Dad.

Bedhead Moms was created by Wendy Santiano, who is married to Rod Santiano, whose terrific cinematography blog we’ve featured many times on MDB. We welcome Bedhead Moms to the blogging community and wish them every success.
