Life lessons from the doughnut isle at Publix

I’ve learned that brothers manipulate each other like they are in sales.  If one of them wants something all they have to do is feign not being interested in it and the other one will back off.  This rule holds true unless it’s something that has an attraction so undeniably strong that neither one can fake it.  Enter the doughnuts.  Sometimes I let the kids get a bag of powdered doughnuts.  It was on one such occasion that I was reminded of some life lessons that parents might forget.

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.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus: Built to Amaze review

Typically for my birthday my husband and I do a date night to a new sushi restaurant or new bar. This year, though, I thought it would be fun to spend the evening of my birthday with not only my husband but our oldest son as well. We went to see Ringling Bros. Circus, Built to Amaze.  As the circus started after his bedtime he was out-of-this-world with excitement, which made me quite excited too. Other than splurging on cotton candy, I didn’t remember much at all about my own childhood experience at the circus and this was my chance to experience it all again with him.

A trip to purchase condoms gets awkward for dad

When I was 13 or so I went to the drug store to buy some condoms.   A group of guys dared me to do it because I was the ‘craziest’ and ‘would do anything’.   I was nervous when I bought the condoms and forgot what we did with them afterwards.  I think I just peddled off on my Huffy, went to a friend’s house and read comic books in their tree house.  Continue reading A trip to purchase condoms gets awkward for dad

Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover

I’ve always wanted a pipe wrench.   The name sounds tough, combining two rugged words that make one super jagged word that actually serves a purpose and is made of steel?  That is bordering on testosterone overload.   I have a pair of Channel Lock pliers.  They do roughly the same thing as a pipe wrench.  But if a pipe wrench is Chuck Norris, a pair of Channel Lock pliers is John Stamos. Continue reading Don’t judge a beef jerky eating, Harley rider by his cover
