We’ve tried a variety of methods to kill our weeds. Brand name stuff, vinegar, salt-you name it. “Why not try fire”, a friend of ours suggested. The BernzOmatic Lawn and Garden Handheld Torch Head is just that. Using propane, it supposedly burns weeds to the core. But does it really- and more importantly, is it safe?

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts are our own and this really sound like a block building, tree chopping good time. As a dad and casual gamer there is a lot to love about that headline. I know that when our kids are older they’ll be into video games and most likely Minecraft. Super League Gaming has partnered with the nation’s three largest movie theater chains, Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Theaters and Cinemark Theaters to a screen that’s much bigger than your computer-or even your television! In this case they’re playing Minecraft in the movie theater and the tour is coming to Atlanta July 20-22 at five different locations.

It was a little over two years ago that I was diagnosed with Melanoma and went in for treatment. Since then I’ve shunned the sun, have gotten used to clothing with a high SPF, love my hats and saw our Oncologist once a quarter. This past week marked the last time that I needed to see him once a quarter. Now the visits go down to twice a year and then once a year for a couple of years and then, hopefully never again.

We love dinosaurs in this house. We have over 100 dinosaur figures of various sizes, our oldest yearns to see Jurassic World and he can still sing the ABC Dinosaur Train song. My Dinosaur is More Awesome is a silly dino book that most kids will like, but its presentation lacks that certain something that allows us (and our kids) to really enjoy the book.

“This is a great book and I absolutely love the layout. It’s a shame I can’t think of any way to continue the series”, I said to the book publishers after reading Countablock. Alphablock was the previous book to that and they’re all by Christopher Franceschelli, with artwork by Peskimo. After Countablock I thought that the next book would be the symbols of the Periodic Table. Thankfully they had a better idea and did one on dinosaurs and Dinoblock is educational, fun to look at, durable and something that kids will absolutely love.

Now is the time to get into some all age comic books with the kids. It’s a great chance to read to them and really get them excited about reading, which, in turn makes them more independent and want to learn. This week is a fabulous chance to get some of the best all age comics on the market today.
Witness: Adventure Time, your kids love the show and this comic in in the same vein, it’s funny, has great art and is a stand-alone story so there’s no background information needed. Donald Duck and Walt Disney’s Comics & Stories have lots of vocabulary and the classic Disney art that kids love in brand new monthly stories. The kid who prefers a bit more indie cred will love Usagi Yoimbo, he’s a ninja rabbit in this black & white comic with action, art and just a bit of culture.

What do you get when one of the best parts of a movie gets their own film? The quick answer is Minions, those cute yellow eraser shaped things from Despicable Me. They were cute, strange and provided a nice ally to Gru’s good-bad guy. In Minions we get 90 minutes of all Minions, all the time and children will enjoy at least 70 minutes of it.

Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type is a classic children’s book about cows that learn to type and start communicating with Farmer Brown. It was originally released in 2001, earned the Caldecott Honor Book award that same year and hasn’t aged at all since then. Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type also translates very well onto the stage, specifically the puppet stage at Center for Puppetry Arts where it’s playing through July 26, 2015.
