Yes, it really has been 17 years since Young Hercules was on television. It aired on the Fox Kid’s Network from 1998 to 1999, starred a young Ryan Gossling and was Executive Produced by Sam Raimi and Robert G. Tapert and was nominated for three Daytime Emmy Awards. The entire series is out on DVD now and it has aged great, the humor is intact and its packed with action that is accessible to children aged 5 and up.

Kids and nature go together like hand and glove. Our kids love going there for no reason at all. They’ve got a lake where dozens of turtles lounge on the fallen trees on a summer’s day and dozens of other critters in natural settings that the kids love learning about. Normally it’s status quo and a good place to pass time. However, now Chattahoochee Nature Center has an exhibit, Butterfly Encounter that will absolutely leave you breathless.

The Incredible Three and a Half Superheroes, should in theory be a middle school book that I would love and highly recommend. It’s about superheroes, has loose happy drawings sprinkled throughout the book and has a playful vibe about it. And for a while it was all of those things, but then the book hit a couple four letter speed bumps and knocked the entire thing off course for us.

Recently I went to HH Gregg to participate in a Father’s Day promotion they had. The store had buckets of specials and dads were all but walking around the store with handfuls of bacon in celebration. We can now giveaway a $100 gift card to HH Gregg. And the good news is that they’ve still got oodles of specials, regardless of what you’re looking for need or simply want.
I’m a Rockport Shoes Ambassador and received product for this post. All thoughts are our own. For summer I wanted to try something different. And by different I mean for my wife.

It was also quite serendipitous that our anniversary was coming up-Happy Anniversary sweetie! This giveaway is for a pair of Garden Court Perf Slide Sandals from Rockport will baby your feet (according to my wife).

While the heat certainly makes summer challenging, there is so much to enjoy about this time of year. There is the pool, the beach and the movies. Have you seen Fury Road? That is the best action film that we’ve seen since The Raid. It is amazing. Inside Out is the (family) film that you have been waiting all year for. Minions, Jurassic, Max (not Mad, this is dog movie whose trailer made me cry and think of those quality coming-of-age films) , Rogue Nation and more.
It doesn’t have to be a family film with $100 from Fandango. You can take the family to a film, go see one that you’ve been itching to see, do a date night or take a group out for fun. The world is your oyster and this $100 gift card from Fandango will entertain you while you’re out enjoying it.
Patrick McDonnell is one of our favorite authors. He’s the guy behind Mutts, a comic strip (and countless books) that show the love, adventures and life of various domestic animals and the people that live with them. Mac Barnett is the author of one of our favorite books in recent memory, Battle Bunny. He also co-authored The Terrible Two, a very funny book for young readers that was recently green lit to become a movie. Combine the two of them in The Skunk and you won’t be disappointed.

It’s the first official new comic book day of summer and it’s hot. Really, it’s been 90+ for the past 12 days and the extended forecast calls for the same. One grand way to beat that heat is to head out to your local comic book shop with the kids and dig on some all age comic books. There are also some cool graphic novels and hard cover books that we’re highlighting this week, plus one cool décor piece for the Doctor Who dads out there.
Futurama Comics #75 is always dependable, the new Mickey Mouse #1 comic comes out this week, a new story arc on Adventure Time starts this month, Skylanders, Donald Duck #2, Batman ’66 #24, Adventure Time #41 and others.
Fantagraphics has a couple hard cover books with old school Peanuts and Uncle Scrooge comics. Kids will also be interested in Dragons: Riders of Berk graphic novel. Netflix has a new original series Dragons: Race to the Edge that is supposedly very good and could spike interest in written content, so keep the aforementioned graphic novel on your radar.
The links will take you to Things From Another World and save you at least 20% on the titles. If you want to find you local comic book store just go here, find it and support small businesses.
