With or without kids, life’s better in costume with Buy Costumes #Ad

This is a sponsored post, all thoughts are our own. Spoiler alert: I’m a dad. When you have children dressing up is more fun. I marginally enjoyed dressing up in costume when we didn’t have children. Now that there are small people around who really get into dressing up; it is more fun and I am super eager to get into costume with them this year. Children think you’re hiding behind a 2” tree, put on a superhero costume and you will have them jumping for joy.

That book. You know the expletive laced book that expresses the feelings when parents, at the end of their leash, internally scream, GO TO BED.

Animal Tales by Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke-it’s all ages music you want to hear

Children’s music can send shudders up the spine of people. It’s too sleepy, dopey, boring or just too much childlike to interest the children, much less the adults who are driving the car. I am a children’s music novice, but I’m learning that there is some fabulous music out there for children and the adults who will be around them when said music is on. Key Wilde & Mr. Clarke is a great example of children’s music that kids will want to listen to and that adults will (really) enjoy listening to as well.

The StoryTeller Witches #2 by Archaia continue to impress

This is the second issue of four in Jim Henson’s The StoryTeller Witches. The first one was great and I was skeptical if the second could continue the journey. It does. The StoryTeller Witches are four standalone tales of witches that are in the same vein as The StoryTeller series back in the late 80’s. Back then it was a TV show, now it’s a comic book mini-series.

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.
