Yes, there really is a week designated to National Backyard Games. Granted it doesn’t have to be backyard games, they could take place in a park of any kind, but they’re games that don’t require much practice, equipment or toll on the environment-other than you falling down with a pillow case or potato sack around your feet. Every month I write a couple of posts for SC Johnsons in their Green Choices blog. This is my latest one about eco friendly outdoor games.
We recently removed all of the wallpaper in our laundry room and removed a large, unsightly metal shelving unit at the same time. In doing this it left us with absolutely no area to put spray bottles or other things needed in the laundry room. If you want to install a shelf, it’s DIY 101, but because we’ve previously done it incorrectly, it warrants pointing out a couple of things.
Sometimes it’s great not to cook-and I say this as someone who loves to cook. I dig the process of combining ingredients, the smells and the big reveal when it comes out. Truth be told, I also like the experimentation of cooking, granted sometimes that surprises me for the worse. Michael Angelo’s frozen Italian meals are as close as you can get to the smell and taste of homemade, while having the convenience of frozen foods.

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, in conjunction with Starbucks and Life of Dad, LLC. I was provided with samples packets of Starbucks VIA® Latte, and received compensation for participating in this promotion.
I like caffeine. Sometimes I’ll work late at night and even when that happens our 4 year old alarm clock still comes into our room at 6:30. He’s on his time and can’t process the fact that we were up until 1:00 AM writing or watching cat videos. When you factor in the couple of date nights, wooing your other half and so on, it gets challenging. Starbucks VIA Latte is having a fun contest with Life of Dad that will award a $500 Stabucks gift card to the #LatteRomeo, just in time for Mother’s Day.

Yes, is probably the answer to that question, isn’t it? I do love our yard, but if I won a $10,000 celebrity backyard makeover from TruGreen I’d certainly get a fire pit, gazebo and flatten an area for a bocce ball court. TV host Jason Cameron would come to my house and guide me of course, but those 3 things are on the wish list. Until April 18, they’re giving away prizes of up to $250 every day. Plus they’ve got yard tips galore on their web site.

This is a sponsored post. I’m a Shop Your Way blogger, all thoughts are our own. Max was almost a victim of over exposure in the 80’s. It was grody to the max, excellent to the max, Max Headroom and then the culture couldn’t tolerate it any more. Max went away for a couple years, but now it’s back with a purpose that can benefit us all, saving money. It’s Shop Your way Max a free online shopping program that has perks and points whenever you shop at Sears or Kmart.

Although spring was officially here last week, we’ve been doing some cleaning for a while now. Granted you’re always cleaning your house. It’s that spring cleaning that sometimes drags us down because we’re supposed to clean the deep, forgotten areas. In my monthly post for SC Johnson I touched on a couple areas and ways to clean them that will pay off later.

Prior to being a dad I was an eco guy. I wrangled social media for an eco organization and wrote all manner of blog posts about sustainability and the environment. Every month I contribute to the SC Johnson Green Choices blog. This March 17-23 is National Wildlife Week, it’s the longest running educational program from the National Wildlife Foundation.
