Buy Costumes is helping UNICEF and doing good locally #OrangeTuesdayTour #ad

I’m part of #OrangeTuesday campaign that Buy Costumes is doing this Halloween season.  As part of that tour they’re going around the country speaking to schools and donating costumes.   As I go back to my 7 year old self I see me loving the fact that various video game characters got me out of class and oh-our school gets about 75 free costumes for the students.

I remember seeing Star Wars with my dad in the theater.  That was back in the day and he wasn’t too jazzed about it.  Granted he was probably happy to hang out with me and that I was so happy to go.  It’s a different scene now.  On Saturday, September 27 at 10:45 there will be a one-time showing of Star Wars Rebels: Spark of Rebellion at Atlantic Station.

Test driving the Ford F-150 during our working staycation

We were compensated to review and drive this vehicle.  All thoughts are our own. As a family we have big and small things, as well as growing people that are carted around every day. Certainly there are days when we need a truck and the massive amount of storage space.  There are big things that I didn’t pick up when we tired the Ford F-150 that I’m kicking myself for.  Our experience with the 2014 Ford all new F-150 is that it’s a big truck that can do lots of hauling and typical truck stuff, but also has the safety and creature comforts that one expects from a family vehicle.

Before being a dad I worked in the humane industry.  I did PR, social media and various aspects of management for a large animal shelter.  During my time there I learned about the value and work of a service dog, as well as, the healing powers that animals provide.   On Friday, September 19 at 11 AM, Captain Luis Carlos Montalvan and his service dog Tuesday will be at the Children’s Museum of Atlanta to read their New York Times bestselling book, Tuesday Tucks Me In.
