Back to school, save some dosh with #KmartBackToSchool #Ad

This is a sponsored post. I am a Kmart blogger, though all opinions are my own-especially the jokes, which may, or may not be funny. Our kids are only 2 and 4, but they’re headed back to school. Well pre-school to be 100% accurate and one is headed back, while the other one is headed there for the first time. Regardless, I’m looking forward to it and they’re probably pretty excited too. I joke, a little bit. Even if school were old hat to them I still want to save money and know that I can do it at Kmart. Continue reading Back to school, save some dosh with #KmartBackToSchool #Ad

The Deep: Here Be Dragons #2, loses steam, still a good comic for children

The Deep is a three issue mini-series about a family exploring the deep parts of the ocean in a state of the art submarine. It’s sharply drawn, has realistic family members that young readers will easily relate to and the first issue had enough action to keep boys interested.

Win an autographed copy of Standing Up by Director D.J. Caruso

Standing Up is the film adaptation of The Goats, a popular young adult book that was written in 1990. It’s an anti-bullying film that follows the adventures of two tweens who marooned on an island by a group of bullies. The two kids are embarrassed and instead of going back to camp, go on a 3 day adventure.

While the story may sound rote for us adults, let’s remember that this is meant to be a film that’s enjoyable for kids under 16. However, watching the trailer for Standing Up my wife got a bit teary eyed, then encouraged at the happy parts and at the end commanded me to get this movie.

A trip to purchase condoms gets awkward for dad

When I was 13 or so I went to the drug store to buy some condoms. A group of guys dared me to do it because I was the ‘craziest’ and ‘would do anything’. I was nervous when I bought the condoms and forgot what we did with them afterwards. I think I just peddled off on my Huffy, went to a friend’s house and read comic books in their tree house.

As a stay at home dad these moments have to be timed and need to happen during the late morning or early afternoon for me to make it to the finish line. Starbucks and Life of Dad have teamed up on a groovy contest to highlight how important coffee can be to us all. Continue reading The Starbucks #VIA Moment Instagram contest #Spon
