WILD KRATTS LIVE! is an all new theatrical stage show based on the hit animated television series Wild Kratts.  Martin and Chris Kratt, stars of the Emmy-nominated Wild Kratts step out LIVE ON STAGE to engage the audience in a classic Wild Kratts story.

The live action begins with them pulling on their Creature Power vests and gloves begin activating Creature Powers!  The duo shows off the amazing abilities of animals such as Rhino Powers and Caracal Powers with live comical demonstrations.

Suddenly, the Wild Kratts receive a message from their friends Koki, Jimmy and Aviva that Zach and his Zachbots are invading the Tortuga HQ. This villain steals one of the Wild Kratts favorite inventions. The brothers have got to get it back. Now with their amazing animal abilities they are off to confront the bumbling and comical villain, Zach, and his robots. Of course, the Kratt Brothers technology doesn’t always work as planned which results in hilarious pratfalls and slapstick fun. But the brothers press on and ultimately rescue their favorite invention from Zach’s clutches so the animals of the creature world are safe once again.

Experience, live on stage, the astounding “creature” fundamentals, and the infectious excitement and inspiring quest of the Kratt Brothers that make the hit television series Wild Krattsso popular with kids and their families.

A basket full of laundry #HeroClean

A basket full of laundry #HeroClean

A-tisket … A-tasket … all my laundry filled in a basket.  I am actually terrible at remembering nursery rhymes . . .

There are tons of “mens” products out there—I should know, I use many of them, well, because I’m a man. Although, whenever I have to go pickup cleaning supplies—I have a choice between lemon scent or flowers—there really isn’t a good guy smell. That’s where Hero Clean comes into play. This new product—that’s made in the USA—is pretty awesome, but the best part … Every bottle sold supports our nation’s veterans.

My son is now 8.5, and really isn’t that good at doing chores . . . even the simple ones like dirty clothes go in the laundry basket . . . but years ago, I figured a good trick out that I’m now playing with my 4-year-old daughter … it’s the a cross between basketball and laundry basket: stuff and dunk.

It’s just as simple as it sounds … take the laundry, ball it up, and slam it into your laundry basket. Sure, it helps that my kids have laundry baskets that look like basketball hoops, but it’s the idea of the game that really matters.

Now back to that great Hero Clean … it’s pretty new to market but you can already find it at the following stores (but not in all locations): Ace Hardware, Wegman’s, Runnings, and Target.

There is a ton of science that goes behind the first-ever home cleaning line scientifically formulated for guys’ unique sweat, stains, odors and messes. The Laundry Detergent has Odor Defeater in addition to six enzymes for stains, brighter whites and colors, and fabric longevity. What is Odor Defeater? It’s cutting edge Odor Eliminator technology that targets bacteria at its source and prevents its return for fabrics, shoes, gear and more.
