Hilton Getaway Giveaway
My grandfather taught me how to catch a baseball, oiled my first glove when I was seven, and always told me to keep my eye on the ball. He encouraged me to join Little League a number of years later. Little League baseball taught me how to work as a team, how to take a loss, and how to celebrate a win. The years that I spent in Little League taught me many valuable lessons that carry over to many instances in my life today and I am so thankful for the coaches and volunteers that took the time to teach me so many values.
Little League Baseball and Softball is the world’s largest and most respected youth sports organization. With players in every U.S. state and more than 70 other countries, the program is led by more than 1 million adult volunteers. It serves children ages 5 through 18, including physically and mentally disabled children (Challenger Division) and children in urban areas (Little League Urban Initiative).

Spaceheadz Book Giveaway
Since my daughter is really a member of the reading age now… I figured that Spaceheadz would be right up her alley. Spaceheadz combines the age old experience of holding and pouring over a physical book with newest media technology that kids love!
About the Book
Michael K. just started fifth grade at a new school. As if that wasn’t hard enough, the kids he seems to have made friends with apparently aren’t kids at all. They are aliens. Real aliens who have invaded our planet in the form of school children and a hamster. They have a mission to complete: to convince 3,140,001 kids to BE SPHDZ. But with a hamster as their leader, “kids” who talk like walking advertisements, and Michael K as their first convert, will the SPHDZ be able to keep their cover and pull off their assignment?

SOBRAL’s Zen Watch
I used to wear a watch on my left wrist for years. Once I got a cell phone that was a thing of the past. I was always pulling out my cell phone instead of just looking at my wrist. After awhile I no longer wore a watch and my wrist started to feel very lonely. It would moan, groan, and make strange popping noises in sorrow for not having something adorning it. So, my wrist and I were very pleased when found out about SOBRAL’s Zen Watch.
The Zen watch is the first wristwatch that does not tell time. Instead, the Zen watch is a reflection on the modern-world production of needless things and how they affect our planet. The Zen watch is a modern interpretation of a traditional status symbol. A fashion statement that conveys a Zen-like energy, the Zen watch is part of SOBRAL’s eco-friendly “Flash Gordon” collection, crafted entirely from recycled computer circuit-boards. The Zen watch brings social responsibility and awareness to an antiquated object, updating the concept of a wristwatch for the 21st century.
Brazilian designer Carlos Sobral has been creating statement-making jewelry and home accessories in vibrant resin since 1970 and recently opened his first flagship SOBRAL store stateside in NYC’S Soho. World renowned for his signature eye catching resin necklaces, bracelets and earrings, SOBRAL’s jewelry calls to mind the “Art Deco” and “Pop Art” artistic movements, which are two of his appropriately named collections. Each SOBRAL piece is lovingly crafted by hand and made of a unique, light weight resin that yields an exquisite finish. As a “green” company, SOBRAL uses recycled materials in his most popular resin collections, and his amazing new “Flash Gordon” collection is made from recycled computer circuit boards. Equally important, SOBRAL’s entire production process is eco-friendly, all the way through to his 100% oxy-biodegradable packaging.
Ryan’s Rating: 7 out of 10!!
Pros: Awesome and unique work of art on your wrist and a great conversation starter.
Cons: Resin body, not something that you really want to throw on the ground. It’s a work of art, not a indestructable play thing.
I think this watch is a great accessory to any look especially if you are of the “geek” variety. It doesn’t have to stop there though. SOBRAL has an amazing assortment of sweet looking jewelry from the “Flash Gordon” series that can suit all of your styles from “geek” to “chic”. I have had a blast telling people about the watch and how it and from what it was made from. I hope you all can check it out and get your “Zen” on.

Dove Men + Care
In case all of you don’t know, I’m a dude and I work and get sweaty and stinky on occasions. One vital thing that I need after a long 8 hours of mowing my yard is to get clean. Most soaps or body washes can get the nature-funk cleaned off of my body. What about all of the vital nutrients and moisture that I’m scrubbing away though? The new products are designed for men who have a reached a point in their lives where they are comfortable with themselves, but not in their skin. Many men put up with cleansing products that are harsh and drying, without realizing these products leave their skin feeling dry, irritated and uncomfortable.
Dove developed MEN+CARE so men can literally be comfortable in their skin. Built on the Dove brand’s heritage in cleansing, moisturizing and care, the new MEN+CARE products offer great cleansing combined with Dove moisturizers to provide total skin comfort. Dove MEN+CARE is dermatologist recommended and clinically proven to fight skin dryness without irritation or tightness.
You know getting older doesn’t mean that me as a guy I have to stop caring about my skin as I rack up the years. Dove Men + Care Body & Face Wash is the only men’s body wash to be formulated with ultra-light MICROMOISTURE technology, a unique gel technology that activates on skin during lather to guard skin against discomfort.
In addition, the Body & Face Bar thoroughly cleanses skin while fighting dryness with Dove signature ¼ moisturizing cream. Also, the Active Clean Shower Tool was created to give an even better body wash experience by delivering maximum lather and maximum scrub in each shower.
Ryan’s Rating: 7 out of 10!!
Pros: Skin felt clean, refreshed, smelled great, and a noticeable difference in dryness after a full week.
Cons: With the body scrubber, I didn’t know what to buff and what to scrub!
I hope some of you guys will check this out yourself or for your loved one. We are all going to get older. Who says we have to look that way doing it?

The Top 5 Keys to Succeed at SeaWorld
As some of you may know we recently took a couple of trips to SeaWorld in San Antonio TX. It had been a very long time since I had been there as a youngling and I hadn’t experienced it as a parent yet. Through my experiences I have devised a list of “The Top 5 Keys to Succeed at SeaWorld”
I hope that those of you that plan to attend SeaWorld in the future will hang on to these tips. I do think that by me learning from my mistakes of not doing them and then doing them made me a happier person. You want to be happy too right? Then just do what I say.
