The power of H20 and the Water Flosser to clean my teethy grin

I love that feeling after you just brushed and flossed your teeth. There was once a time when I didn’t floss my teeth regularly. I didn’t know that it was important, was living overseas and was scared to visit the dentist. When I finally visited the dentist they told me that I had 8 cavities between my teeth.

“You can get cavities between your teeth?”, I said. The dentist proceeded to break out the 8 cavities into a payment plan so that they could fill them all at one time. Continue reading The power of H20 and the Water Flosser to clean my teethy grin

Reasons why companies and brands need to respect Dads

The first annual Dad 2.0 conference is happening in Austin this week. One topic that will certainly be discussed is dads, brands, advertising and how they can rectify reality with what really happens. OK, in my ideal world that is how brands would start to work with dads. In reality the conversation at Dad 2.0, relative to advertising and brands may be all about Huggies and not for the reasons they would like.

I don’t want to die, but I will and have planned for it

I hope it’s a fun funeral that celebrates my life more than my death. They’ll play music to a playlist (that I still need to give my wife) that will include music by Pulp, Astrud Gilberto, Skunk Anansie and Spitz. While I still need to get that playlist to my wife, all of the very serious medical decisions have already been decided. Continue reading I don’t want to die, but I will and have planned for it

The fastest and best way to cook spinach for dinner

It’s easy to get in a rut when you cook the meals for the family. Chicken and pasta, salad and chicken or salad and meatloaf are all meals that our family has beaten into taste oblivion. One day I was shopping in Publix and the cook who makes those in-store meals gave me the simplest hint: microwave the spinach. Continue reading The fastest and best way to cook spinach for dinner

Our cats and dogs loved the treats from Mr. Chewy.com –and giveaway!

When my wife married me she knew that she’d get all of my bad habits, large comic book collection, as well as Wilson, Abby, Ripley and Gianni.

Bertolli Meal Soup makes a weekday dinner special

In my perfect world I make the week’s dinners for the family on Sunday afternoon. They’re then put in the freezer in plastic containers with matching tops and I have plenty of time to watch Once Upon A Time before I go to sleep. In reality my Sunday’s are lazy, unproductive days where the family plays outside and I’m lucky to watch an episode of Bait Car.
