Summer fun with the kids, exercise KIND snacks and #KINDMilesMatter #ad

I partnered with Life of Dad and KIND for this promotion. All thoughts are my own. Summertime and the exercise is easy, I might write a song that starts out something like that. Seriously though, summer is a fun time to get outside and exercise with the kids. The only difference with the children is that you don’t call it exercise, per se, it’s just called seeing a new town, going to the nature center or learning to ride a bike/swim. It’s all about #KINDMilesMatter, jamming as much healthy fun as you can into the summer vacation. Here’s a sampling of what we did to burn some calories and how you can dig some KIND Snacks for something so tasty you won’t want to share it with the kids, but you should.

This is why men don’t call other men handsome

I was out with my wife the other day and we saw a couple that we know. Her husband and I gave each other the man-nod and exchanged pleasantries. That’s the simple head tilt upwards quickly followed by a “what’s up?” or “how’s the weekend?”. It may not officially be called the man-nod, but it is virtually guaranteed that no women greet each other that way. That is because women, usually after the initial greeting say “you (or possibly that outfit) look so pretty”.

I, Fly is educational & fun about something that shouldn’t be

I, Fly, much like the book’s namesake comes up out of nowhere. This is an unassuming book that gets better, funnier and more interesting the more times that you read it. A fly comes in the window of a school room and asks the kids what they’re studying. I know that sounds like a bad joke, but in this case it’s how the book starts and it is quite funny to adults and children. After reading the book several times to our children I think of flies in an entirely different light, although I do still valiantly try to smash them with the fly swatter.

Tiny Hamster is a Giant Monster, silly all age reading fun

Based on a You Tube sensation. Not long ago that phrase and ‘movies that are produced by toy companies’ would’ve produced groans from me. However, it’s a brave new world and entertainment born on one platform can easily cross over to another. Proof of that is Tiny Hamster is a Giant Monster.

The Alphabet of Bugs is photo driven ABC edutainment

Depending on your child The Alphabet of Bugs is a great teaching book about the alphabet or a book that they’ll pretend to be scared of, but secretly will love looking at the vivid bugs while learning the alphabet. Each page has a very large alphabet letter on the left hand side with a full color photograph of an exotic bug on the right. It’s a book that will encourage curiosity with the bugs while teaching them their letters too.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, July 1, 2015

Summer road trips. That is why today is a great day to visit the comic book store to dig into the all age comic books. The kids are in the back seat, you can get a couple new reads to surprise them, plus there may even be some comics leftover from Free Comic Book Day. You’re in luck because this is a great week to jump into some new comics for any age.

Age of Reptiles is great for 10+. It’s all art, but some of the illustrations are dinosaur violence, if your child is OK with nature, predatory type things then buy this. The art is simply some of the prettiest that I’ve seen in any comic this year.

Bat Mite #2 and Bizarro #2 come out this week, they’re the mini-series from DC Comics that are about each character’s adventures. Mickey Mouse #2 comes out, as does My Little Pony: Friends Forever. Our oldest son asks about MLP all the time, he’ll be stoked that it comes out.

A boy’s Fantastic time 4 eating out at Denny’s with dad #ad

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and rest assured, we really, really like to eat. “I liked the castle Denny’s daddy”, our oldest said as we drove away. Well, to be fair, it was constructed with lots of big logs, rocks and we drove over a lake (which he could’ve thought was a mote), so in the eyes of a five year old it could look like a castle. Castle setting aside there was no sense of Doom, we were there to eat, learn about the new Fantastic 4 menu items and tell you about how you and a buddy can win a trip to the world premiere of the film.
