  7. Hey, Adam! I just want to thank you again for spending some time at the Toy Fair. It was a pleasure to talk with you and get an inside look on your webpage as well as the opportunity to share some of PlaSmart's product info with you! Keep it going. Site looks great!

  10. Hey there! I started following you the other day on twitter and your name keeps popping up in my circles, so I figured I'd send a note. I'm a baby planner in Atlanta, but have a network of baby planners in several states, Ireland and Italy. I'd love to connect to see about getting the “dad perspective” from you on some of our projects.

  12. Adam,
    I would love for you to review my new online and printable beginning reading program for parents to teach their child to read through a motivational and fun program that meets kids where they really start reading and not push them through a phonics program that kills their initial love for reading.

You may recognize the company…we’re licensed with NASCAR and Nickelodeon and currently sell Dale Jr. and SpongeBob car seats through Wal-Mart stores, Walmart.com and NASCAR.com.

  28. Hi Adam,

    I love your blog and enjoy reading everything from tech to giveaways and dad adventures. Keep up the wonderful writing!

    I’m reaching out on behalf of Banyan Branch, a full-service social media agency based in Seattle. If interested, I would love to start sending you some of the more relevant, blog-worthy news and content surrounding our top clients including Microsoft, Amazon and Fox among others.

    What’s on Tap:
    Our Interactive team just built and launched a microsite for Acer which we thought you and your readers may find entertaining (read: ridiculously silly). Acer’s Funny Holiday Photo app (www.funnyholidayphotos.com) allows fans to celebrate the season… and all its quirks… by uploading their face into one of several hilariously awkward holiday photo templates. Users can choose from photos on Facebook or can upload pictures directly from their computers. Photos of friends and family are also welcome, with users having the option to share these cringe-worthy holiday photo via Facebook, Twitter or even as a holiday card.

    As a side note, Acer also has a Holiday Wish List giveaway currently running on Facebook (http://on.fb.me/acerwishlist) where one winner will be awarded with four computers of their choice (which sure would make holiday shopping easy).

    In addition to providing compelling content, our focus is to really listen and improve the reciprocity between this agency and the blogging community. Please let me know if there’s anything you need. Thanks so much and hope you have a wonderful day!

Is this something you’d be interested in?

    We’d really love to start working with you! Please let us know if you’re interested, so we can begin developing a super affiliate program plan today.

    Thanks!

  31. Hello Adam. I’m Joe Galizio. I have just finished writing a children’s book called “Don’t Be Afraid.” As a volunteer EMT on Long Island, I have seen quite a few fires and accidents involving children. I have also visited many schools to help educate children about emergency workers, the gear we wear and use, and how to act during emergencies.

    I’ve come to find that children are often scared of us and our tools, especially when involved in an incident. My book is to help educate kids not to hide from us, and to become familiar with a lot of the tools we will use during these emergencies. I launched a Kickstarter campaign in hopes to get this project launched and am looking for professional opinions, advice, and assistance spreading the word. Please let me know what you think, and if you have any advice, I would be glad to hear it.

    Thank you for your time.

  34. After browsing some of the mommy blogs, I started to think about why there aren’t many men in the parenting/family niche and I luckily found your site. Very well done and great to see a man’s perspective!

  35. Hi Adam, Great see you and your family last night at Project Playdate. Just checked out your website, I love it! sent you a text, let’s keep in touch since we live in the same neighborhood. Ishmael & Jessica A.
