oh the dilemma — honey can you get me?

So. I went shopping. For the record, this stay at home dad really doesn’t like shopping. Give me a list, and I will go buying.

Nope.

Had to go shopping, which was not my intent when I first got to the store.

Items on the list:

Facial Scrub
Suave Children’s Body Wash
Spring Valley Probiotic Acidophilus

There were quite a few items on the list, but none so difficult to find as that facial scrub.

I found the second two items. No problems. Do you know why? Hint: Name Brand…
Item number one? Wouldn’t you know I spent almost half an hour in that aisle and brought home the wrong thing?

Mom’s – a tip. If you send your stay at home dad to the store, include pictures. At the very least, ensure that you either have a brand name, or show him the original package. I did manage to hit a home-run two out of three times. I should consider myself lucky. Cheers from one stay at home dad! Hope your Valentine’s Day Rocks!

If I was a betting man, I would have purchased one of each, thereby ensuring success and then taking the excess back to the store for a gift card exchange. ummmm no. I don’t think so.

Giveaway – Battle Tracker and for 2 Geek Dad books from Dad Bloggers

I am a member of a dad blogger group on facebook. As a member, we occasionally have giveaways that we participate in as a group where one dad reviews a product. We do come across some pretty cool products, and we aren’t obligated to participate in any.

But this one is really cool. With the 25th anniversary of Top Gun, this one is even cooler. I can remember when I was on the farm, sitting on the tractor dreaming that if I could be anywhere else in the world, it would be on an aircraft carrier getting ready to fly my jet to save the free world from MIG 28’s. This giveaway is sponsored by NAPPA. The National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) is one of the oldest and most respected awards programs in the country. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, we have been continuously celebrated as the “go-to” source for parents and professionals seeking the best products for their children and families. NAPPA holds two competitions annually:

Children’s Products Competition

Parenting Resources Competition

NAPPA enlists a team of independent expert judges and family testers to review each submission thoroughly. Together, they select the most entertaining, appealing, safe, educational, age-appropriate and enduring products as NAPPA Gold, Silver and Honors winners. A NAPPA recognition is more than just a seal of approval. It signifies that a product has been rigorously evaluated against stringent criteria and that it stands out among hundreds of similar products from around the world. Products that receive the prestigious NAPPA award are quality products that parents and professionals can trust.
