Smell your best with Old Spice Hardest Working Collection #SmelLegendary

Smell your best with Old Spice Hardest Working Collection #SmelLegendary

IMG_6340For years I’ve worn old spice deodorant (seriously, I found it on the duane reade shelf like 10 years ago and its been my go to ever since.)  So when the guys at “Life of Dad” asked if I wanted to try out the latest Old Spice Hardest Working collection and be a bit of advertising for it – I was like HECK YAH!

So whats harder then being a dad? perhaps nothing cause what you do will directly impact their lives… so I’m a dad 24/7/365 no matter what…. then on top of that I’m holding down a 9-5 and try to be a social guy, by taking my wife out for dates and catching up with friends. Am I legendary? only to my kids… but I think its pretty amazing I got a photo without the kids climbing on me for a moment.

So on top of the checking out some of the Odor Blocker and Sweat Defense anti-perspirants, I’m now trying the Dirt Destroyer Body Wash from Old Spice for the first time.

Now I’m not the guy thats out there running 5k marathons, or chopping down trees or backpacking in the forrest… I’m the guy getting up at 7am and going all day well into the early morning and doing it day after day.  I get up shower and swipe that anti-perspirant on… thats it… 12 hours later its still keeps me smelling great, that after walking a half mile to drop my son off at school to the subway all the stairs in and out of the subway and into work all day.

Bringing home the milk for families in need #MilkDrive

Bringing home the milk for families in need #MilkDrive

#milkdrive infographicLeading up to Father’s Day, four teams of five dads in the NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, and WEST will compete against each other to see who can raise the most money for The Great American #MilkDrive, the first-ever national program to help deliver highly desired and nutrient-rich gallons of milk to hungry families who need it most.

So I’m on the EAST team with some pretty rad dads…. We’ve been driving people to milklife.com/giveDadsEast to donate any amount of money but $5 deliveries a family in need 1 gallon of milk (so we recommend starting with $5).

 

Dads never know what they want for Father’s Day (I did publish a great list of suggestions) but I don’t need any more ties and if none of those items are a fit for that special guy in your life; Then maybe this year, why not make a donation on his behalf to my fundraising team for the Great American Milk Drive.  It’s really the best gift that you could give not only to him but to that family in need…

 

 

 

Milk has always been a part of my daily life and a really solid source of nutrients in my kids lives… imagine if you didnt have any milk and not out of choice but out of the fact it was either a box of cereal that would feed you for 8 days or a gallon of milk. Did you know that more than 22 million children may miss out on milk’s nutrition in the summer months when schools are closed and they lose access to free or reduced-price milk programs.

Milk – a nutrient powerhouse providing 9 essential nutrients, including 8 grams of high-quality protein in each 8 ounce serving – is one of the most requested items by food bank clients year-round. But it’s especially needed during the summer when kids may be missing out on nutritious meals provided through school breakfast and lunch programs. On average, food banks are only able to provide the equivalent of less than one gallon of milk per person per year. That’s because while Americans are generous with canned and dry goods, many don’t think to donate milk because it’s perishable.

Again a donation of as little as $5 will deliver a gallon of milk to a local family through the Feeding America nationwide network of food banks. Donate NOW!

The force is strong in terms of the popcorn eating in my house #PopWars

The force is strong in terms of the popcorn eating in my house #PopWars

PS_SW_ExtraChessyMy son loves cheese… my son loves popcorn… so if you put them together like Pop Secret did, then needless to say I never even got a crumb to eat.

Like anyone born in the 1980s we grew up loving star wars and of course what we loved when we were children, some how becomes what our children love.  Marc loves the concepts of star wars and so seeing one of his favorite characters on a bag of popcorn that happens to be his favorite flavor – like wow.

Marc had a friend over and their were playing with some star wars figures watching episodes of clone wars on netflix and were just munching away on their pop secret.  This was a great snack for my wife cause it took no time, simply pop open the bag and pour some out into little cups for the kids.  Harper my daughter who is a little popcorn monster got into the action as well.

Once the kids got a hold of the Pop Secret’s new bag that featured Chewie from the Star Wars saga they then noticed the fun trivia to test each others knowledge about star wars.

Since 1984, Pop Secret has been offering popcorn fans a quality product that makes watching movies at home just as fun as going to the theater!  Make sure you have some on-hand for impromptu movie nights at home, picnics in the park, beach trips or sports practice. The Pop Secret pre-popped popcorn line is launching this year with a few delicious flavors, White Cheddar, Salted, Homestyle, Kettle Corn and the new Extra Cheesy.

IMG_1391 (1)Calling all Jedi, Sith, and Clone Troopers! Oh so you’ve meet my son – who is a little Star Wars obi-wan as he’s got the bedding, the books (I really think his first alphabet book was made with Star Wars items), and he’s got plenty of toys.

Within moments of opening the packaging you could hear like pew-pew and rooooommmmm sounds coming from his mouth. He gets to create different match up, change the terrain from the soft dunes of navy sand (or as it is in reality his bed) and the fire ball pits of the living room (we have red spotted carpet).
