Peanuts #24 is how an old school cartoon should age

There is this new all age comic book called “Peanuts”. It’s the story of a group of kids, a friendly dog who thinks that he’s a fighter pilot and a curious yellow bird named after a 60’s rock concert. Of course you’ve heard of Peanuts before, it’s a 60 year old comic strip that’s been made into holiday specials, numerous book and is classic. What is surprising is how well-and effective the new stories in the Peanuts comic book are for new readers or old school fans.

Need to upgrade your photo tech? Best Buy has it all

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Even before I was a dad I loved photography. It gave me the chance to chronicle my trips and travels. Today’s new cameras make me thankful for the images I was able to capture and let’s my mind wander about the prospects of me travelling with a high quality digital camera. There are lots of cameras at Best Buy, but they’ve got some storming deals on three of them in particular now; all of which I’ve played with and one that I own and use every day. Plus all three are equipped with built in WI-FI.

With TuneIn I travel to Japan, France-anywhere, without leaving home

I have partnered and was compensated by Life of Dad, LLC and TuneIn for this promotion I’m kind of a radio snob. I worked in radio for many years and am thankful that I don’t work there anymore. Pick a style of music, any music and it repeats and repeats-every 4-5 hours with a key couple of songs. I love most forms of music too, but my ears crave new sounds. To make matters more challenging I’m a music worker and am more productive when music is in the background. TuneIn is the app that brings me back to radio, makes me thankful for aspects of it and allows me to travel the world from my smart phone. TuneIn App and their selection

Cosplay for a cause, helping Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation

When we arrived at the party I saw lots of scars. Through the eye holes in my costume I could see that the scars on their heads were jagged, others straight and all of them varied in length. Some of the patients needed help walking, others danced into the room and others used crutches or wheelchairs to make their way. When our contact met us during the #RandomActsofBooing she told us about this event, but was hesitant on the details for a reason I now understood.

Shoot to save, with the Cannon EOS Rebel T5i at Best Buy this #HintingSeason

The review has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. Save as in save memories and save money, both are things that parents want to do. We’re talking about the Cannon EOS Rebel T5i, I know, it just sounds like it should be starring with Arnold Schwarzennegar in the latest robot movie. In real life it’s one of the simplest ways for you to shoot HD video and 18.0 megapixel photos like a pro.

New all age comic books for Wednesday, December 17, 2014

It’s new comic book day and here’s a look at the new all age comic books being released today. Our top 4 this week are Jim Henson’s The Storyteller Witches #4, McBain, Peanuts #44 and Terrible Lizard #2.

We classify all age comic books as something anyone could read and not find violent, scary or otherwise inappropriate. Some of these titles might be rude and you wouldn’t want your kids reading it yet, like Mad Magazine, but that’s only because some of the humor there might be smarmy or rude.

About the links in the comic titles. They’ll take you to Things From Another World and will save you about 20% on each title. If you want to get them today then find your closest comic book store, take the kids and get their imaginations, reading and vocabulary up to the stars and beyond.

Our #LeeGoodDeed challenge with Lee Jeans was win/win

I partnered and was compensated by Life of Dad, LLC and Lee for this. All thoughts are our own and we do love wearing pants. As part of our #LeeGoodDeed challenge we were offered 4 options by Lee Jeans. Because of the hectic nature of the week and the ages of our children the one that made the most sense was to take a friend’s children for the day. That brought our net total of children to four and thanks to my wife and serendipitous timing of multiple community events our day was packed.
