Money is just a tool. It’s a great tool. I’m not using the word in the sense of a pejorative. There are productive tools and tools on reality television. Money, especially free money is fabulous, guilt (and work!!) free, that allows you to get things done or catch a break. Kmart is giving away $100, tell me that you couldn’t use $100 to shop at Kmart and I’m calling you Pinocchio. To be clear, that’s Pinocchio, the puppet who didn’t tell the truth, not the handsome adult version on television now. Continue reading So you’ve got $100 to spend @Kmart, what do you do? #SWEEPS #ad
A look at the DC comics available at Free Comic Book Day
It should come as no surprise that the two superheroes on the cover for DC Comics free comics are Superman and Batman. These two free comics are a good cross section because they highlight one for younger readers and one for teens (and up). Continue reading A look at the DC comics available at Free Comic Book Day
Life lessons reminded by the expiration date on peanut butter
The other day I opened the kitchen cabinet and noticed the expiration date on our peanut butter. Being that we’re a family of 4 I knew that this jar would never, ever last to the end of the month, much less 2015. 2015 in the context of a jar of peanut butter seems impossibly far away. It’s a date too absurd to even think about, until I looked to the right of that cabinet. Continue reading Life lessons reminded by the expiration date on peanut butter
What would I do with $100 to spend @Sears? #SWEEPS #Ad
This sponsored post is not merely my fantasy about what I’d use that money for at Sears. It’s a play along game with a chance for you to actually win that cash to be able to spend at Sears. Oh my. Father’s Day, summer vacations and more are just around the corner and that sure would come in handy. Continue reading What would I do with $100 to spend @Sears? #SWEEPS #Ad
Review & giveaway: Angry Birds Star Wars AT-AT Attack Battle Game
It truly is a week for outstanding combinations. To help review the Angry Birds Star Wars I was provided with, I arranged a gaggle of children aged 3-10 to come over the house and play. Well, the 3 year old lives here, the game is intended for ages 5 and up; but I couldn’t very kick my son out of the house for a couple hours while we play with Angry Birds Star Wars could I?

Thunderbolts #8, continues to disappoint despite great characters
Thunderbolts should be a comic that I can’t wait to receive in the mail. The first issue started out strong. A rag tag group of anti-heroes, Red Hulk, The Punisher, Elecktra, Deadpool and Venom team up to solve problems that other entities or superheroes can’t. Unfortunately since the 4th issue of Thunderbolts it’s dragged and the art has gotten too big and clunky. Continue reading Thunderbolts #8, continues to disappoint despite great characters
Dad reads Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Spiral
It took me a while to warm up to the Star Wars comics, but I’m enjoying them now. Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith-Spiral takes places when The Old Republic is peacefully governing the galaxy. The only trouble that can be found are the battles between the Jedi of old and the Sith. Continue reading Dad reads Star Wars: Lost Tribe of the Sith: Spiral
