The easy clean up using Bounty #QuickerPickerUpper

messy-firsts-2I’m one of those guys that goes shopping and buys the brands he knows… When I was asked to join Bounty for its “Memorable First Moments Birthday Bash” that involved messy art and cake smashes, it was easy to say yes.

Bounty really gets that life is sometimes a little messy and because Bounty absorbs the messes quickly (in fact, it’s 2x more absorbent vs. the leading ordinary brand), you can enjoy the moment not the mess.

I’ve always used paper towels to clean up some split milk on the floor, a messy face after eating pizza, or even those few food splatters when I attempt to cook. At the event they showed me a different side to Bounty, as we not only used it for cleaning up hand painting and cake decorating crafts, but could use it to create color paper towel flower crafts.

messy-firsts-13Because Bounty is so absorbent the roll can last 50% longer, and can take on more spills and messes, so I could enjoy a few memorable moments with the kids.

Thanks to Big City Moms for sponsoring me to take part in this event.

Feeding three kids is an all day thing #ChobaniKids

Feeding three kids is an all day thing #ChobaniKids

img_8294Having an 8 year old getting up early in the morning to head off for 3rd grade, followed by my two late morning risers of my 3 & 1 year olds means we’re serving breakfast at 3 different times… which is amazingly easily if I’m dishing out a protein packed Chobani Kids Greek Yogurt pouch. Pull from fridge, pop the top and serve. Thankfully Chobani is a great breakfast snack since it’s 25% less sugar* than other kids yogurts.

Lunchtime and snack times aren’t any easier because my 3 & 1 year old girls start having their schedules separate. My 1 year old Harlow needs that noon time nap, while my 3 year old Harper is ready to play, do arts and crafts or just dance… again she’ll need to eat and snack. She’s a picky eater liking the sweeter things in life, so we dice up some berries and fruit add a tube of strawberry Chobani Kids Greek Yogurt and she’s ready to rock till late afternoon snack or maybe even dinner time.

img_8381One thing we love doing in my house is squeezing the tube of Chobani into giant drops on wax paper and freezing them. After a couple of hours in the freezer you have this amazing frozen drops to snack on that the kids will love and with no artificial flavors, sweeteners, or preservatives you will love them too.

When my son gets ready for bed he’s always craving that before bed nighttime snack and he does love something cold. We have been taking the entire tube of Chobani Kids Greek Yogurt and freezing it for him, he loves that it’s a frozen yogurt stick made with only natural ingredients.1472749669-5f432811c223af8f64ca06e07d056242

LEGO Jurassic World roars on to YouTube #JurassicWorldLego

This post brought to you by Universal Pictures. The content and opinions expressed below are that of Dada Rocks.

What happens when you take the biggest blockbusters in cinema and add it to a legendary building toy company? You get LEGO Jurassic World: The Indominus Escape, a five part animated short that has been releasing one episode per a day this week on the Jurassic World YouTube channel and at JurassicWorld.com

I’ve been a major fan of Jurassic Park since I was in high school and got to meet Michael Crichton. Who doesnt love a story about bringing back dinosaurs, the struggle of nature vs man. Jurassic World was a great relaunch of that adventure in my mind but not really what I’d like my younger child to watch.

I’ve just finished watching the first three episodes and it been a blast to watch (Click here to watch the trailer!) They do a great job of blending LEGO humor with the Jurassic World science. This episode is the most pivotal of the entire series, as it shows Indominus rex – the smartest, biggest and scariest hot dog-loving hybrid dinosaur ever created escape. Gather your kids around a screen and enjoy this kid friendly take on Jurassic World… What kid wouldn’t love to see the largest LEGO Dinosaur chasing a guy dressed as a hot dog around?! Click here to watch the complete episode!
