HH Gregg for Father’s Day and beyond makes cents #ad

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own, our money saving, technology loving own. Today we went to the Ultimate Chore Challenge Obstacle Course at an HH Gregg near us. It was a one day event where people could compete in basic household chores for the chance to win big prizes. There were plenty of kids involved in the activities and there are even lots of options for everyone to win, especially on Father’s Day.

Inside Out is Pixar at its best #FandangoFamily

Name a movie studio that produces quality films and Pixar is almost certainly one of the first ones that you mention. Sure the other studios have hits and produce quality films, but Pixar has an expectation level that accompanies no other studio. Inside Out is Pixar’s 15^th feature film and stands beside Toy Story in regards as what to expect from them and how good an animated film can be.

Dads clean up, but just in case Merry Maids can too #ad

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and the stories, regardless of how dirty are true. The fabulous house cleaning debate varies from house to house. In our house we do a fair job of splitting the cleaning duties. Overall, I do most of the cleaning, but that’s just because I’m the stay at home parent. Most is relative because there are still many periods when my wife starts cleaning something or asks me to get on it. The Merry Maids Father’s Day Program did a study that has results that might surprise some folks, plus they’re giving away a house cleaning and other groovy prizes.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, June 17, 2015

If there is a theme this week for the new all age comic books it’s ‘fresh’. I don’t Kool and the Gang fresh, I mean newer titles that haven’t been around as long as the classics. There are still a handful of classic titles out this week, but by and large it’s new stuff that the kids are reading-and it’s great.

We’re excited about all of them, but are really curious to check out Mega Man. At this year’s Free Comic Book Day I looked over their offering and was impressed. This is a good time to jump on this comic because they’re in the middle of a crossover with Sonic. From what I’ve seen of it the series has enough action, while keeping the story and vocabulary OK for all ages.

Also of note this week is Teen Titans! GO, Usagi Yojimbo, Spongebob Comics Annual Swimtacular, Simpsons Comics, Lumberjanes and a couple books of old school Peanuts comic strips. 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.

The kids watch what dad watched on Netflix #StreamTeam

This was a compensated post, all thoughts and TV recommendations are our own. Our children are 5 and 3; while they can watch some PG things on television it’s kept G for the most part. I look forward to when they can watch the classics that I grew up with. Certainly there will be some new classics that they enjoy, but I want to see how they like what I liked as a child. That, plus it gives me an excuse to watch them again…for the purpose of family bonding.

Kohl’s and Father’s Day is a low stress option for dad #ad

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. I hadn’t seen my next door neighbor for months and the place that I run into him is Kohl’s. It’s not that Kohl’s serves bacon when you enter or has secret places for guys to hide when their better halves are shopping. If you go to the store it’s conveniently laid out, is all on one level and has clearance racks (for the frugal minded dads) out the wazoo, just in time for Father’s Day.
