Mixify brought the message of balance to Atlanta teens

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. More than 100 teens from across Atlanta joined Atlanta Falcons’ Wide Receiver, Devin Hester, at Centennial Park today as part of the Mixify Tour, a series of events around the country with fun activities, demonstrations, tips and tools, music, and giveaways — all designed to educate teens about the importance of balancing what they eat and drink with what they do.

Six Flags Over Georgia Hiring Hundreds of undead entertainers

Who says the undead aren’t any fun? Well, it wasn’t us because A. We like our souls. B. Have plenty of axes nearby at any time and C. Have a healthy distrust of anyone pale who wears black all of the time. However, I did work at a theme park for several years doing a variety of jobs as an entertainer and can vouch for how transformative of a job this can be. This casting call is out to prove that there is #NothingScarier than Fright Fest at Six Flags Over Georgia.

Super League Gaming brings in-theater group Minecraft to Atlanta

This is a sponsored post. All thoughts are our own and this really sound like a block building, tree chopping good time. As a dad and casual gamer there is a lot to love about that headline. I know that when our kids are older they’ll be into video games and most likely Minecraft. Super League Gaming has partnered with the nation’s three largest movie theater chains, Regal Entertainment Group, AMC Theaters and Cinemark Theaters to a screen that’s much bigger than your computer-or even your television! In this case they’re playing Minecraft in the movie theater and the tour is coming to Atlanta July 20-22 at five different locations.

Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type, hits the puppet stage show

Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type is a classic children’s book about cows that learn to type and start communicating with Farmer Brown. It was originally released in 2001, earned the Caldecott Honor Book award that same year and hasn’t aged at all since then. Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type also translates very well onto the stage, specifically the puppet stage at Center for Puppetry Arts where it’s playing through July 26, 2015.

Butterfly Encounter at Chattahoochee Nature Center is through July 31

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.

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.
