Ditch the script on fatherhood #WorldsToughestJob #ad

Recap:  I’m a stay at home dad.  I get the blessing of being around our two children all day long.  It is the #WorldsToughestJob.  Some would view this as an albatross and others as a complete blessing.  And to be honest it all depends on what time of day as to how I would answer that question.   However, once the dust settles my answer will always be that it’s an honor and privilege to be a father.

Empowering Women Together at Walmart solves your Mother’s Day gift needs

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart and Walmart Foundation for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I don’t panic for Mother’s Day.  In a way that by itself is a gift to my wife, a non panicked spouse is a good thing that begets more relaxation.   When you have two children under 5 a calm mom is a great thing to have, or be.  If you’re looking for some nice Mother’s Day gift ideas check out some items from Walmart’s Empowering Women Together line.

Earth Day is April 22.  You don’t have to get all Captain Planet in order to do things to take part in Earth Day.  In fact it’s better if you do little things every day of the year, as opposed to doing a one big clean out or group project.  If you’re looking for children’s Earth Day activities look no further than our monthly post over at the SC Johnson blog.
