Choosing your Old Spice #Smelliment is a win/win for all

Hey, I have partnered with Life of Dad and Old Spice for this promotion. You’ve seen the ads online. They’re the frantic, kinetic, over-the-top ads for Old Spice that star Isaiah Mustafa and Terry Crews. Crews was all about Bearglove while Mustafa is the softer, but still strong side with Swagger and Timber. But still strong is key, because dudes certainly do not want to smell like a billy goat, but we don’t want to smell like a patchouli leaf, even if our name is herb. Mustafa and Crews called a truce in their epic series of ads and we got the chance to speak with Mustafa about it.

Sometimes it’s as simple as a kind word

I’m a Sisterhood of the Motherhood Partner and was compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own. Many times, OK, quite often, my wife is correct. Husbands, it’s OK for you to say that, ditto the wives out there, your husband is quite often, correct. We were at the dinner table the other day with the children when I sarcastically entered into a conversation that we needed to have. I forget what started it, but the crux of the conversation was simply telling the other one something nice about them.

We say ‘please’, ‘thank you’ and other pleasantries around the house. That’s just basic manners that we want our children to learn after us. To quote the wrestling philosopher, Ric Flair, ‘talk the talk, walk the walk’.

The new film from Sisterhood of the Motherhood adds to the chorus of #EndmommyWars

I’m a Sisterhood of the Motherhood Partner and was compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own.  There’s a heavyset parent at our school whose arms are covered in tattoos, the even have a couple on their neck. They drop them off in an older model car whose muffler obviously needs to be replaced. The car has a rainbow flag bumper sticker, the ‘namaste’ one, NRA decal and animal rescue too. It’s a train wreck of lifestyles and organizations that only coexists on bumpers and in the minds of those I don’t relate to.  The child seems normal and happy; I see them sometimes when I eat lunch with my child. However, I never see their other parent and the tattoo laden driver is never in the school helping out. Plus they look just a little too young to have a child the same age as ours, but here’s what’s really surprising about this person.

Doing what I can to #EndMommyWars from a dad’s perspective

We were compensated for this post, all thoughts are our own. Hey, I’m Trey and I’m a stay at home dad. As a dad I get off easy when it comes to the whole mommy wars issue. My wife and I don’t raise our children the way that you do. We certainly raise them the way that some of you, but not all of you. They go to sleep earlier than some of your kids, maybe watch more television that yours, possibly use the computer more and probably listen to more kindie. Having said that, so what? Similac is asking for a story from you about how you were judged, criticized or made to feel like a bad parent.

Man Crates, gifts for guys from bacon to bourbon & beyond

Hey we received a Man Crate for review. All thoughts are our own. The name Man Crates in interesting and it kind of makes you smile, doesn’t it? Because at the end of the day, most guys will not tell you what they want, yet they sometimes need gifts. Man Crates seeks to fill that gifting void by providing packaged crates packed with all manner of man. Think of something that a guy likes to do and there is a Man Crate for it.

Dads clean up, but just in case Merry Maids can too #ad

We were compensated for this post. All thoughts are our own and the stories, regardless of how dirty are true. The fabulous house cleaning debate varies from house to house. In our house we do a fair job of splitting the cleaning duties. Overall, I do most of the cleaning, but that’s just because I’m the stay at home parent. Most is relative because there are still many periods when my wife starts cleaning something or asks me to get on it. The Merry Maids Father’s Day Program did a study that has results that might surprise some folks, plus they’re giving away a house cleaning and other groovy prizes.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month-cover up

This is a review and we received the clothing for that purpose. All thoughts are our own and true yo. That title sounds kind of preachy, the whole ‘cover up’ thing. The only reason that I can say it with a straight face is that I had Melanoma and it’s frightening. Woah, you mean I have Cancer, it’s in my skin- has the ability to travel to my organs and this is the deadliest form of Cancer around? They were some of the thoughts that I had that day when I was diagnosed.
