Denny’s Denny’s and eating out with the children #ad

I’m a Denny’s Ambassador and was compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own because, bacon and children. For a two year period, when I lived in Japan I ate at Denny’s at least once a week. You’re in a faraway place with any number of food options, but sometimes, you just want what you know. For the record the food was just as delicious and affordable as it is in the states. Now that I’m a dad I took the boys to Denny’s for their first time and here’s what we learned.

Monkey Kingdom is simian, nature driven fun at the movies #FandangoFamily

We do some writing for #FandangoFamily and are compensated for this post. No monkeying around, all thoughts are our own. Every Earth Day DisneyNature releases a nature documentary in movie theaters. For 2015 it’s Monkey Kingdom and for every movie ticket sold in its first week of release $1 will be donated to Conservation International. That money will go to support Conservation International’s programs in Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Cambodia that protect monkey and other endangered animals. Monkey Kingdom was better than my wife thought it would be and kids 10 and under will enjoy it for a variety of reasons.

Being happy isn’t hard according to The Candy Newspaper

As another school year ends I’m taking note of the little things that will not be the same next year. Our oldest will start kindergarten and his younger brother will continue speech classes at the same elementary school. We’re doing our errands, dropping them off here and there and I realize that this is the most time I will ever spend with them. That is much more of a blessing than a curse and I need to remind myself of that from time to time.

Disney Go Green: A Family Guide to a Sustainable Lifestyle is more eco friendly than you think.

At first thought, a book that has Mickey Mouse on the cover teaching families about going green may seem disingenuous. Mickey and his many properties encourage consumption. However, Mickey and his friends also have a massive audience with the ability to influence untold amounts of people. Both of those statements are true and Disney: Go Green! A Family Guide to a Sustainable Lifestyle is better and more thorough than eco-skeptics would suggest.

New All Age Comic Books for Wednesday, April 15, 2015

There is something in the water this week because it is packed with new all age comic books. This is not the week for any parent to say “I don’t let my child read comics because there is nothing that interests them”. From the sublimely silly, classic old school, new school, video games and more this is your week to introduce the kids to comic books.

File under silly: Archie Vs. Predator. We still have Archie Vs. The Punisher and have high hopes for Archie Vs. Predator which would be OK for ages 9 and up. Capture Creatures is great for the creative kids who like monsters that are lovable. Hero Cats has come a long way from its first issue; worth checking out if you like action…..with cats and some people. Regular Show, Simpsons Comics and Peanuts also come out this week, those three are dependable every single issue. Also My Little Pony: Fiendship is Magic is great, it takes a look at the villains in Equestria. Does your child like more ‘comic’ oriented story? Don’t miss Sleepless Knight Picture Book, it’s in the same vein as classic Peanuts and Calvin & Hobbes in that it’s a book, but has the panel look of daily strips.

The links will take you to Things From Another World and will save you 10% or more on comics. If you want to head out to your local comic book store then just follow the link and drive safely.

The Cosco NEXT Convertible car seat is light, priced right and compact

Having a baby means a whole new department of product education. One of the biggest entries in that category are car seats. We were offered the chance to review the Cosco NEXT Convertible Car Seat. Baby car seats run the gamut with bells, whistles and colors, but at the end of the day all you, as the parent want is for it to be safe, just in case an accident happens.
