Now that you know about us and WHY we are out to make a difference and help parents, grandparents, and anyone else who has older children, tweens, or teens in their lives—how it all began is just as intriguing. It all started with my (now not-so) little girl asking what a "blog" was. Needless to say, within 6 hours of that one innocent question, CurlyStache.com was born, and our endeavor had begun! Read the full story for all the details and spontaneous twists of events.

In less than a year, we have changed the site format a handful of times, looking for the perfect style where you can come and not be overwhelmed but find what you are looking for with just the right amount of flair and simplicity. The first 4 months had a lot of growing pains; we thank all the supporters who stuck with us as we were on our learning curve. We've got a handle on it now; how do you think we are doing? If you have a suggestion, let us know!

Beginning in the summer of 2023, it was clear to us that our site was a very studious or "serious" site, which wasn't a bad thing, but we wanted a fun vibe, too, where you could get more than just advice or opinions. I've always firmly believed that part of being a parent is being able to smile, laugh—and bring home lousy dad jokes to get your family to smile, too. Enter CurlyStache Funnies. If you want your daily smile or a bad joke to tell your child or teen, check out any of our social media pages and follow us. We post dad jokes and memes daily! Credit goes to Khloé, who runs this section entirely; the Funnies wouldn't be possible without her.

In addition to CurlyStache Funnies, we've pumped out dozens of full-length blogs and an additional blog section we call "CurlyStache Lite." CurlyStache Lite was formed in September 2023, giving all our blogs a simple-text version and stripping away imagery and additional graphics. This section aims to consider the visually impaired audience and those who have a low-bandwidth connection, causing pages not to load as quickly or incompletely.

​

Our newest addition to the CurlyStache family is a brand new section we dubbed "The Mashup." This launched at the beginning of October 2023. Our Mashup section is filled with shorter version blogs for quick reads that are more opinion-based but grounded in facts. Check out all that we have to offer under the Mashup tab found on the menu tab of all pages!
