Dig the new store designs at your local #RadioShack #Sponsored #MC

So, I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for #RadioShack. I received a gift card there and a promotional item as a thank you for participating. Growing up we all used to go to Radio Shack didn’t we? When I went with my father he was always looking at something that confused me and I gravitated to the diodes, transistors and circuit boards. It’s not that I understood them any more than what my father was looking at, they just seemed so much cooler.

Memories of Christmas ornaments and stockings past #Ad

Part of our Christmas holiday gifts this year include various things from Personal Creations. This is a sponsored post from them about my holiday memories growing up. They have a wide selection of unique holiday gifts that can be personalized for your family. Want to save 20% on your Christmas or holiday orders? Here’s a handy link that’ll allow you to do that! The story of Christmas decorations and me are like that of many men. We start out as boys loving them, go through our teens shooting them with a BB gun, forget about them in college and then start loving them again when we get married. Your story may differ a bit from mine, but I’m sure that there are some similarities.

A visit to Festival of the SEAson at Georgia Aquarium

On a cold, rainy Sunday we received tickets to the Festival of the SEAson at Georgia Aquarium, featuring SCUBA Claus, the FantaSEA in Lights, Mermaid Performance and Seaside St. Nick. Not that you really have to convince our children to go see animals. This, however, was different – we were combining Santa Claus and animals – not to mention that this was the first family trip out together in at least a month, since the entire family has been sick with stomach flu, foot & mouth or colds since mid-November. To put it simply: excitement was off the charts.

A parent’s toy gift guide for Cyber Monday and beyond

With the Christmas holidays just around the corner I wanted to share some of the really cool toys that we’ve either purchased or received. On Cyber Monday and pretty much all of December you’ll be able to find some nice discounts on most of these. The toys or entertainment on this gift guide are great for kids from 2 to 10. While not an ultimate parent’s toy gift guide for children, it’s a good starting point if you want a basic primer on gifts that kids in that age range would like.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer shines at Center for Puppetry Arts

As if we need another excuse to go to Center for Puppetry Arts in Atlanta, my oldest son and I went to see the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It is so much fun to do mother-son dates now that he is 4 and can sit through short presentations.

#Ad Dig the Radio Shack deals for #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday

I participated in a sponsored campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting (#MC) for RadioShack. I received a gift card to facilitate a shopping trip and promotional item as a thank you for participating. As a dad to two young boys I know about gadgets. Factor in that l like gadgets and they come by it honestly. In the house we’ve got tablets, countless children’s toys that need buckets of batteries and cords that continually get lost. This year, Radio Shack can help out with serious savings online, in person or online for #BlackFriday and #CyberMonday.

Giving things from the Heart of Haiti this Christmas holiday

The fourth anniversary of the Haitian earthquake is approaching. In January 2010 200,000-300,000 people were killed and almost 1.3 million were displaced. As a member of the Everywhere Society they informed me about a project called Heart of Haiti that partners with Macy’s in supporting local Haitian artists.
