I’m a healthy guy. I exercise a little bit and don’t eat too poorly, but things are changing. The exercise doesn’t happen as much as it used too, my metabolism is slowing just a bit and I had a 1 month period that I’m still recovering from, more on that in a moment. The Blog Forward Challenge by Zone Perfect is designed to help people establish and keep goals.

I just asked my wife who her cartoon crush was. At first he said it was Superman, which I found very patriotic and take charge of her. She then corrected herself and said Mickey Mouse. I pressed her as to why and she said that it was because he’s a take charge mouse who solves problems and is an entrepreneur. Regardless of who your cartoon crush is Warner Bros is giving away a DVD that features some of their best characters, perfect for the whole family.

Part of the joy of being a parent is having fun with your children. Dinosaur Train is the rare children’s television show that has wit, intelligence, humor, teachable moments and education in the same package. The fact that Dinosaur Train is enjoyable for the parent as well makes it even more of a treat. Jim Henson’s Dinosaur Train Live: Buddy’s Big Adventure is traveling the country and will be at Cobb Energy Center for two shows on February 22 at 1 and 4.

That entry into the headline was a bit of link bait and I apologize. Having said that, money is something we all need and at its simplest form it is just a tool. Whether we have a job for it, earn it through investments or never have enough of it, money allows us to do things. The #ShareTheWord twitter party with Kmart on 2/13 at 1 PM ET will be all about money.

We do family pizza night at least once a week. Personally I’ll do pizza up to 3 times a week, but don’t tell my wife. However, every Friday I cook pizza for the boys. We usually buy the pre rolled pizza dough in the plastic container at the grocery store. However, recently I got an email* by Mr. Poppin’ Fresh himself, letting me know that the Pillsbury Pizza Crust is new to the market.

It’s been said that the most expensive habit a guy ever has starts at .98. The subtle joke being that a Hot Wheels car is like a potato chip, you can’t have just one. I still have mine from back when I was a kid, our children have dozens of them and a couple of racing sets. All of this leads to the #HotWheels twitter party with Kmart on 2/12 at 1PM ET. We’ll have $200 in gift cards, which don’t have to be spent on Hot Wheels, but if you’re like this dad blogger and have boys you’ll probably end up using it for that anyway.

Valentine’s Day and procrastination go hand in hand around here. From a creative perspective, I embrace procrastination. From a gift giving perspective I try not to do it, but it sometimes falls between the cracks in the sofa. Caring for the kids during the day and working at night puts my time (and yours) at a premium. ProFlowers has provided us with 2 $100 vouchers to give away to two readers who may, or may not be procrastinating for Valentine’s Day.

I’m an SC Johnson blogger. Every month I write posts for their Green Choices blog. This is an excerpt from that post and a link to a post about the topic.
If you have children you’ll want to mark a period of their life by some sort of print. A hand or foot print is what you’ll go with and there are a couple ways to do it. We’ve made hand casts a couple of different ways, both with plaster and flour. Of the two, flour is much easier and produces better hand casts.
