Toys of the Year
Many people have heard of the Oscars (the academy awards, not the hot dog), but how many dads and moms know what TOTYs are? FYI for dads and moms, TOTYs are Oscars for the toy industry. TOTY is short for Toy of the Year. For the last ten years, members and associate members of the [...]
Walmart Books Promotion, Food Allergies, and Alice in Wonderland
Walmart Books Promotion | Food Allergies | Alice in Wonderland Video Game
This week on my dad blog, I have three short news stories that may be of interest to dads and moms:
Read Across America at Walmart
Walmart.com is running a month-long promotion on children books as part of Read Across America Day and Dr. Seuss’s birthday. [...]

Healthy Child Healthy World :: Craftzine :: Ponoko
I didn’t have time to write anything other than giveaway posts on my dad blog this week, so here are three short blurbs about a few sites I took a quick look at. Hopefully I’ll have more time for longer reviews on my blog in the near future.

Explore the Literacy House
The National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL) recently launched a site that shows dads and moms how to transform routine daily activities like meal preparation and bath time into rich learning experiences for their children. According to research:
Children exposed to more spoken words earlier in life demonstrate richer vocabulary and early acquisition [...]
Links Round Up – 2010.01.30
I have an inbox full of PR requests (you know, because I am the ultimate dad blogger). I don’t have time to write posts about each one of them individually. In fact, even if I clone myself, I still wouldn’t have the time to write a short blurb about all of them (that’s why I [...]
How to Save Your Family if Your Accelerator Pedal Gets Stuck
In case there are dads and moms who have not heard: Toyota has issued a recall of several models because the accelerator pedal sticks. The stuck accelerator has resulted in several deaths. I’m not going to blog about the recall. Instead, I’m going to focus on what you should do in the event your accelerator [...]
The Fresh Air Fund Racers Give Gift of Fun to Children
OK dads and moms. Today I’m running a public service announcement for The Fresh Air Fund, which is an independent, not-for-profit agency. The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer vacations to over 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities. Last summer, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and [...]

BTW, it’s still not too late to take advantage of P.F. Chang’s gift card promotion for the holidays. For every $50 in P.F. Chang’s gift cards purchased, you will [...]
Rated I for Immature
The weirdo-in-law gave my wife a Wii console for her birthday last summer. We have the Wii Sports that came with the system and LEGO Batman (the Little Princess bought it with her own money). For the holidays, I’m thinking about getting a game or two for the kids (really, the games are for the [...]
H1N1 Vaccines for Prison Inmates, Wall Street Workers, and Santas – But Not Kids
Maybe because I’m a dad, I see things differently than most people. But I truly think our world is upside down. For instance, our HMO didn’t get their first shipment of H1N1 vaccines until the week after our baby was hospitalized for H1N1. If the vaccines came in a couple weeks earlier, our baby wouldn’t [...]
