For 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.

For most of us (no not all), gone are the days of working in an office or cubicle 9-5 from the same desk 5 days a week. Over the last year or so there’s been a lot of attention around new innovations in desks, but I haven’t seen one that speaks to the modern day worker, someone that will work on their bed first thing when they wake up, then their couch two hours later. That may be because they don’t have the space for a regular desk, or they simply lack in comfort and portability. With the Edge Desk we’ve solved that problem and more! The Edge is designed for very small spaces like apartments, dorms, shared offices (it folds flat for quick storage and then folds out into full custom fit in 6-seconds) complete with a variety of available accessories!
The Edge launched this week on Kickstarter (TheEdgeDesk.com/Campaign) solves two of the biggest problems workers face – back pain and limited space, and it’s loaded with modern accessories so a worker can surround themselves with everything they need – smartphone holder, speakers, lights, snack tray and drink holder. For the artist in all of us, the desk even converts into an easel/portrait!
The Edge Desk System campaign (which already won the Wayfair Kitchen Sink Grand Prize) is looking to truly revolutionize the workplace.

While most people would love to forget what they looked like in the 80’s (come on those fashions?!). There is one part of the 80’s that many find nostalgia for, which is the television shows… I dont know what it was but those 80’s generated many megahit TV shows… some carried on well into the 90’s. Full House was a great example the changing times and modern family dynamics.
Well thanks to the super smart people at Netflix we now have a 6 episode season of Fuller House, pretty much fast forward 10 plus years later. The show still lives up to the nostalgia factor for sure… its also pretty amazing how none of the cast has aged at all.
A recently widowed D.J., the mother of a 12-year-old, 7-year-old, and a newborn son, finds a few extra roommates in her sister, Stephanie, who is trying to be a musician, and her best friend Kimmy, who is the mother of a teenage daughter.
Toys“R”Us announced a brand new PLAY WITH PURPOSE fundraising and awareness campaign in partnership with Save the Children (a nonprofit committed to ensuring all U.S. children have a healthy start). Together, they are embarking on a mission to provide children in impoverished regions of the country with opportunities and resources to integrate purposeful play into their everyday lives; a factor proven critical in children’s emotional, physical and cognitive development and future growth.
15.5 Million U.S. Children Live in Poverty; Many Lack Playtime in Their Daily Lives
10 Minutes of Play Improves Children’s Performance
Play Enhances the Progress of Early Development by 34%
From February 17 – April 17, customers can make cash donations at any Toys“R”Us or Babies“R”Us store, or online at Toysrus.com/PlayWithPurpose, to help bring learning through play to kids in need.
Play With Purpose campaign is designed to support Save the Children’s early childhood development programs – Early Steps to School Success, Literacy/Healthy Choices and the SummerBoost Initiative – which help children in some of America’s most underprivileged areas thrive.
Together, Toys“R”Us and Save the Children are embarking on a mission to provide some of the 15.5 million youth living in impoverished regions of the country with opportunities and resources to integrate purposeful play into their everyday lives; a factor proven critical in children’s emotional, physical and cognitive development and future growth.
Through the good work of Save the Children’s early childhood development programs and field representatives, underprivileged families from Washington state to Washington D.C. are able to reap the benefits of hands-on involvement, as they embrace unstructured playtime in their homes. Statistics serving as the foundation of this campaign include:
Play builds the foundation for a lifetime of learning
Pretend play with a child from 8 to 17 months old is linked to higher intellect at age 5
Young children benefit from interaction, babbling, facial expressions and gestures, the absence of which from adults can lead to disparities in learning and behavior
In one study, children ages 1 ½ to 2 ½ who were provided sets of plastic building bricks had significantly higher language scores six months later
Even 10 minutes of play can improve a child’s performance, may encourage thinking and successfully controls behavior
Children with access to a variety of toys reach higher levels of intellectual achievement
Unless you’re living under a rock you’ve heard of comic con so imagine that play fair is comic con for Toys! Let me tell you its going to ROCK!

Finally if all that wasn’t enough you’ll get up close and personal with the new Bat Mobile from Batman Vs Superman!
In prep for the big event we got some mystery boxes and boy were they packed with some of the latest and greatest toys…
Folkmanis Mini Duckling Finger Puppet was so cute and really cool mission behind it because Folkmanis believes imagination is the key to a healthy childhood, encouraging play and discovery to develop the skills necessary in life. With a soft plush Mini Duckling finger puppet chirps happily with a little shake.
Marc flipped when he saw the new Razor Jetts Heel Wheels which are strap on wheels. Just step up, strap down and take off with these easily adjustable Heel Wheels. Roll with or without spark and transform your sneakers into the hottest way to roll… totally amazing (and yes he’s been skating in our apt)
We were introduced TMNT T-blaster which is a blasters designed to incorporate a Turtle character and darts – the category’s “My First” foam blasters for the youngest TMNT fans!

And a really cool thing called MOD by OgoSport which is a new custom printing service that allows you to customize OgoDisks with high-quality, photo-realistic prints or designs of your choosing.
