When I heard that Disney was making another Tron I thought kick ass… then I saw the toys and I thought kick ass… then I remember I have a baby/toddler/animal who cant sit still for 2 hours and almost never get to see movies in the movie theatres. When I heard the movie was out on DVD I was kick ass I can finally watch it… then I found out about the combo pack that gives you both the original and the new movie. Since the original movie does setup some of the characters it really doesnt hurt to check it out. The new movie stands on its own but with the first movie as a base – it really gives you some extra feeling for the characters. Of course you can win it details on the bottom but the one thing that I’ve got a pretty cool perk
Jeff Bridges’ Photo Book Making Tron: Legacy unavailable in bookstores, the Making Tron: Legacy is printed in a limited edition of 1,000 copies.

One of the things you get really quickly when you have a baby is just how much work goes into taking care of them – you also never know just how many diapers you’ll go through in a given day. Let me tell you – its A LOT! Here’s Laila Ali’s tips for how to keep up with your little ones.
10 Tips to Keep Up with Little Movers: By Laila Ali
1. Get moving! Finding time to hit the gym isn’t always easy with a baby at home, so find ways to incorporate aerobic activity into your day. Walk to the library or supermarket whenever possible, and be sure to get your toddler out of his or her stroller so they can walk some of the way, too. If walking to your destination isn’t an option, park the car far from entrances or take the stairs instead of the elevator!
2. Surround yourself with support: From sharing parenting advice to all those special “firsts” in your baby’s life, connecting with other parents is a great way to surround yourself with needed support. Huggies® Brand is helping Parents all over the country come together by teaming up with Meetup, the world’s largest online network of local groups, to host 60 “Keep-Up Meetups” from January – March. “Keep-Up Kits” will be given away to help Meetup Parents keep up with their Little Mover!
3. Laugh! From spit-up to the spilled milk, don’t be afraid to laugh off the silly situations. Laughter really is the best medicine – relieving stress, and burning extra calories! Remember, parenting is never perfect so next time you find yourself in the middle of that messy diaper change don’t let yourself stress – instead let out a loud laugh!
4. Accept a Helping Hand! For a first time Parent, it’s hard to realize you really can’t do it all. Keeping up with your Little Mover all day can be exhausting! When feeling overwhelmed and ready to pull out your hair, it is ok to admit to yourself that you really could use that extra helping hand. Accept your family’s or friend’s offer to come over and keep your Little One entertained for a couple of hours. Don’t second guess this decision, be grateful and accept the favor because you deserve it (and others relish the time with your little bundle of joy)!
5. Don’t Forget to Sleep! Between the late night feedings and round the clock diaper duty, it may seem impossible to get more than a couple hours of shut-eye. To keep from feeling like you are going to fall asleep while at the stroller wheel, try to fit in a nap during the day while your baby snoozes and for the working Parent, ensure you head to bed as soon as possible once the little ones are tucked snuggly in their beds. Teaming up with your partner and switching off middle-of-the-night feedings and diaper changes can also save you from exhaustion!
6. Take up a hobby: Setting aside time to work on something you enjoy can help clear your mind and leave you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Don’t be afraid to try out different hobbies until you find the one that fits your schedule and interests. If your hobby is one that can include your Little One, do it this can make for some very special bonding time!
7. Stay Organized: Organization is key to keeping stress to a minimum! From making sure the diaper bag is prepared prior to that long car ride or day at the playground, staying organized and scheduling your day can help you stay calm, cool and collected.
8. Reward yourself: Parents deserve rewards for all that they do on days other than Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. What’s even better is getting kickbacks on items they already purchase – like diapers! This season, enjoy a winning code in every pack of Huggies® Little Movers diapers to cash in for prizes like Starbucks gift cards and iPods! Submit each on-pack code online at Huggies.com to win.
9. Take a break! Be committed to taking regular breaks away from your children. It’s easy to brush off the importance of “me time” but it’s a must to keep you at your best – whether it’s taking a walk, reading a book or going for a drive, “me time” cannot be underestimated!
10. Remember to Treasure those “Aww-Inspired” Moments: Last but certainly NOT least, remember to sit back and enjoy the ride of a lifetime – parenthood! From sharing photos of your Little One rocking Huggies® Little Movers diapers on the Huggies Facebook page, to connecting with other parents on the Huggies Twitter page, remember to treasure each parenting moment!

Disney’s Emmy Award-winning Imagination Movers are in the middle of their “In a Big Warehouse” concert tour which started February 4, 2011 in their home state of Louisiana. The wildly popular New Orleans-based rock band for kids of all ages will and has traveled coast to coast playing their most popular songs and bringing the magic of the Imagination Movers television series’ Idea Warehouse to life performing in a series of 100 shows across the nation. Concertgoers can expect special appearances from Nina, Warehouse Mouse and other characters from the TV series.
“Nothing beats the excitement of playing live rock n roll with the help of thousands of great fans,” says Rich Collins (aka Mover Rich). “We encourage our audience to be an essential part of the show by singing, clapping, shouting, dancing and generally letting the energy of a real rock concert lift their spirits. Everybody needs a nap after one of our gigs. Including the grownups – and especially us!”
Since signing to Walt Disney Records, the Imagination Movers have sold more than 100,000 albums, received multiple awards and earned critical praise from the Associated Press, Entertainment Weekly and many other media outlets. Their newest release, In a Big Warehouse, the soundtrack for the second season of the television series, hit the charts this fall, debuting at #2 on Billboard’s Top New Artist Albums chart and bowing at #3 on Billboard’s Children’s Chart.
The tour has been a big hit with fans and if you cant make it to the live show they’ve event got a special TV version thats currently airing on Disney Junior. This special episode is also available on iTunes, I found that out by shopping for the new episodes from 2011 that are also on sale now.
April 23rd the show rolls in to Boston’s Orpheum Theater with an 11:30am and a 2:30pm show. They also have some special guests opening the show this stop is Choo Choo Soul. I’m sure kids of all ages will love the show and I for one cant wait to see them in NYC. For more information on tickets and for the tour dates, VIP packages and venues visit www.imaginationmovers.com.
The Imagination Movers are Collins, a former journalist and father of five; Scott Durbin, a teacher and father of two; Dave Poche, an architect and father of two; and Scott “Smitty” Smith, a New Orleans firefighter who was part of the Hurricane Katrina search and rescue effort.

Being a parent there are certain things you’re going to have to buy diapers and milk. Neither comes cheap and neither are used sparingly. There are points post breast milk, post formula that I was going to the store more then once a week to pickup a gallon of milk. I’m sure I’m not alone… This week we’re taking care of the Milk for one lucky fan, who knows maybe next we’ll take care of the diapers (yah thats not such a subtle hint at whats to come).
Let’s get to the details we’ve got
3 x Reusable latté sleeves
3 x Cereal bowls
3 x Insulated to-go cups (w/ lid and straw)
1 x Coupon booklet for a year’s worth of free milk (well its 52 gallons but since its almost april you need to use coupons before 1/31/12 so it’s not really a year – just 52 gallons!)
Each coupon is for $4 (off a gallon of milk) which on many brands would make it free. AWESOME GIVEAWAY?! right – I know. Let’s just quickly do some math $4 times 52 equals 208 dollars we’re saving you.
If you want to learn more about milk (sure you may want to know about all those great vitamin D facts like…) Milk is one of the few food sources of vitamin D. In fact, it’s the leading source of vitamin D in the American diet. The recommended three 8-ounce glasses of lowfat or fat free milk provide 75 percent of the daily value for vitamin D. Milk also provides eight other essential nutrients, including calcium, potassium and vitamin A, which many Americans also lack.
Research shows that nine out of 10 Americans are missing key nutrients. To help close this nutrient gap, Milk has launched an education initiative to encouragepeople to “Pour One More” serving of milk for their families every day.
Want to give back the Milk Mustache Campaign Facebook page –http://www.facebook.com/MilkMustache – where people can “Pass a Glass” to friends through April 11th (for every glass passed, $1 goes to Feeding America for their hunger relief efforts).

Hopefully by now you’ve seen a few of the dadarocks tweets or a few of the dadarocks facebook page updates, but if not you might have missed the news about Late Night Parents. Really Late Night Parents was born from the desire for a parenting show that could be hosted at night for when those that have 9-5s could catch up or simply have the kids fast asleep to enjoy hearing the latest in parenting news and products.
I asked my good internet friend Josh Becker of DadStreet.com to take the 2nd seat and away it went… fast forward 9 weeks, we’ve had our glitches but more then that we’ve found great success and a real audience (I was worried there would be crickets). The best part is that if you’re not watching it live there is great content in watching the show in replay. The replays are up on iTunes, Vimeo, Blip, Boxee, Roku, and MomTV (along with a few others).
The show is geared for expecting parents, new parents, parents of toddlers, and parents of little kids/tweens. We really try to cover the range and by doing so we also get to help parents out with amazing giveaways. This week we have a few great giveaways up and going up. The biggest of which is Mamas & Papas Mylo Stroller Giveaway.
The live show is Monday Nights at 11PM est. and I really hope you get a chance to check it out! For more information please check out http://latenightparents.com
