Review and Giveaway – Thomas & Friends: Curious Cargo DVD
I received the Thomas & Friends: Curious Cargo DVD for review on my dad blog. Thanks to Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment, I’m also giving away a DVD to a lucky reader. My toddler loves Thomas & Friends and he loves this DVD too — especially the first episode, which features a giraffe. My son calls the giraffe big, and he likes to tell me how the giraffe won’t lie down and how it ate all the apples. My son is so cute when he tells me about the DVD. He acts as if I haven’t watch the DVD with him a hundred billion times already. It’s hard to believe that just a month ago, he could barely talk at all.
Giveaway: The Big Year DVD
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment is giving away The Big Year DVD on my dad blog. The movie features Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson. It’s a story about three men from very different walks of life, facing a mid-life crisis, a work-life crisis and a no-life crisis. The trio ends up in a birdwatching competition, which results in a hilarious adventure. The Big Year will be available on Blu-ray and DVD January 31, 2012.
Seven Interesting Things About Chinese New Year
Happy Chinese New Year! This time of the year, I like to torture my kids by making them dress up in their Asian outfits. Aren’t they cute in the photo above? I think it was of the few photos that didn’t show them rolling their eyes at me.
Last year it was the year of the rabbit (my year). This year it’s the year of the dragon (my oldest daughter is a dragon). Below are seven interesting things about Chinese New Year.
Quick Giveaway: Spartacus Party Pack
I have a quick giveaway on my dad blog (ends at noon this Sunday). The giveaway ties in with the January 27th premiere of Spartacus: Vengeance (a STARZ original series). Spartacus is actually one of my favorite shows. Thanks to STARZ, I’m giving a Spartacus Premiere party pack, which is just what you need to host your very own Spartacus-themed party. The party pack consists of four Spartacus T-shirts, two Spartacus water bottles, fake blood and a $20 Domino’s Pizza gift certificate. Sorry, the prize pack does not include a sword. Note to parents: I love Spartacus, but it’s not appropriate for children.

Good morning, readers. I have a winner announcement this morning. Before I get to the winner announcement, I want to mention you can help save the life of a four year-old boy.

Head on over to the Kyle Crawford website (Facebook | Twitter) to find out how you can help.

- PointHub Giveaway (ends 1/25)
- Timmy Time Giveaway (ends 1/26)
Review and Giveaway – Timmy Time: Timmy Needs A Bath DVD
Timmy, the cute little lamb, is back. His latest DVD is Timmy Time: Timmy Needs a Bath. If you or your kids like the other Timmy Time DVDs, you will like this one too. As usual, Timmy and his friends entertain us without actually talking. My kids love Timmy Time: Timmy Needs a Bath, and I love being able to turn down the volume (no dialog). Timmy Time: Timmy Needs a Bath will be available available on DVD next Tuesday (January 24, 2012). It has a list price $14.98, but you can currently get it on Amazon for $11.99. Thanks to Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment, I’m giving away a copy of the DVD on my dad blog.
Review and Giveaway: PointHub for booking flights and hotels – win a $25 American Express gift card
PointHub contacted me last week about doing a write-up of their free service and hosting a giveaway on my dad blog (I’m giving away a $25 American Express gift card). To be honest, I had never heard of PointHub until they emailed me. From looking around their website, I’ve learned that PointHub lets people search and book flights and hotels. PointHub is kinda like Travelocity, Orbitz, Hotwire, and Expedia. But unlike those services, PointHub gives parents side-by-side comparisons between purchase price and rewards points for airlines and hotels. Not only can travelers see a comparison, they can also book with either credit card or with frequent flyer miles and reward points. Now that’s convenient.
Fantastic Sams Review and Giveaway
I have a fantastic giveaway on my dad blog today. Thanks to Fantastic Sams Hair Salons, I’m giving a prize pack consisting of a $25 gift certificate, Fantastic for Men Tea Tree Shampoo, and Fantastic for Men Simple Style Matte Wax. I have not been to a Fantastic Sams yet, but the company is one of the world’s largest full-service hair care franchises. They provide the same quality services as independent salons, but at a fraction of the cost. BTW, dads and moms can find more information about Fantastic Sams on their Facebook page, which features monthly coupons and hair tips.
