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.

Naptime DIY: killing weeds with the BernzOmatic Lawn and Garden Torch

We’ve tried a variety of methods to kill our weeds. Brand name stuff, vinegar, salt-you name it. “Why not try fire”, a friend of ours suggested. The BernzOmatic Lawn and Garden Handheld Torch Head is just that. Using propane, it supposedly burns weeds to the core. But does it really- and more importantly, is it safe?

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.

Melanoma 2 years on: having blood drawn and cracking your head open

It was a little over two years ago that I was diagnosed with Melanoma and went in for treatment. Since then I’ve shunned the sun, have gotten used to clothing with a high SPF, love my hats and saw our Oncologist once a quarter. This past week marked the last time that I needed to see him once a quarter. Now the visits go down to twice a year and then once a year for a couple of years and then, hopefully never again.

My Dinosaur is More Awesome, silly average dino fun

We love dinosaurs in this house. We have over 100 dinosaur figures of various sizes, our oldest yearns to see Jurassic World and he can still sing the ABC Dinosaur Train song. My Dinosaur is More Awesome is a silly dino book that most kids will like, but its presentation lacks that certain something that allows us (and our kids) to really enjoy the book.

Dinoblock is a must own for parents of dinosaur kids

“This is a great book and I absolutely love the layout. It’s a shame I can’t think of any way to continue the series”, I said to the book publishers after reading Countablock. Alphablock was the previous book to that and they’re all by Christopher Franceschelli, with artwork by Peskimo. After Countablock I thought that the next book would be the symbols of the Periodic Table. Thankfully they had a better idea and did one on dinosaurs and Dinoblock is educational, fun to look at, durable and something that kids will absolutely love.
