Monster Trucks Rule

Shaun and I went to our first Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam truck show in Philadelphia back in June and are lucky enough to be going again in July to M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, MD.

Since this was our first time attending I had no idea what to expect other then it being loud but Shaun and I had a blast. We got to meet the drivers and see the trucks close up at the Pit Pass Party before the show which was super cool. There was a ton of stuff to do at the Pit Pass Party that kept us entertained for the three hours before the show. Once we got inside that is when the real action began. Have you ever seen a 12 foot high by 12 foot wide truck with over 2000-horsepower jump and race around a dirt track? If not you need to attend an Advance Auto Parts show because you are truly missing out.

For the first time ever the Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam “Havoc in the Harbor” show will be at the M&T Bank Stadium starting at 7:30pm. With every ticket purchased you get access to the Pit Party from 2:30-5:30 which is awesome. Another reason I am excited to be attending the show in Baltimore is Travis Pastrana from the MTV hit Nitro Circus will be driving the Nitro Circus truck which should be pretty sweet.

Here is the Truck Line-Up for the Baltimore show:

  1. Grave Digger ®
  2. Maximum Destruction®
  3. AAP Grinder™
  4. Monster Mutt® Dalmatian
  5. Air Force Afterburner®
  6. Lucas Oil Crusader™
  7. El Toro Loco®
  8. Grave Digger the Legend™
  9. Nitro Circus
  10. Avenger
  11. Brutus
  12. Backdraft
  13. Son UVA Digger®
  14. Superman™
  15. Captain’s Curse®
  16. Ironman

Needless to say Shaun and I are excited to have a chance to attend this show and are excited to see Nitro Circus, Ironman and Superman as they were not at the show that we attended in Philly.

Want to hear something cool. Look What Mom Found…and Dad too is giving one lucky winner a four pack of tickets to attend this show in Baltimore, MD ONLY!!!!! Your tickets will also include entrance into the Pit Party from 2:30pm – 5:30pm. All you need to do is head over to Monster Jam and tell me what truck and driver is your favorite.

It’s Dad’s Day, Craftsman Tool Giveaway

How long is your Honey-Do list? You know that list that is tacked on the fridge of fix-its and other projects that need to be done around the house. On my list is; hang a picture, vacuum out the air vents near the ceiling, power wash the deck and refinish our end tables. Not a long list but a list of things that neither I nor Rob want to work on.

tool-set-searsThese lists go away much faster when there is a skilled someone handling the projects. Rob is our handy-man by default. Don’t get me wrong he knows his way around a tool shed but it’s not his favorite thing to do. But you know when I told him he was getting a 255-piece Craftsman Mechanic’s Tool Set for review he was more than excited. He knows that in order for the job to get done RIGHT the correct tools are needed. He also knows that Craftsman is a name to trust.

With Craftsman you get:

  • Lifetime Warranty on all hand tools
  • Rugged Durability and Consistent Performance
  • Superior Service and Support
  • Community Insights

Don’t forget Dad this year. It may sound cliché but get him what he really wants from the Sears Blue Tool Crew.
Sears is giving a LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! reader their very own 255-piece Craftsman Mechanic’s Tool Set (valued $300). Let us know what other Craftsman tool that special Dad in your life would love.

Lands’ End Does Polo’s Right

I work in an office where I need cloths that look really nice but they don’t have to be to dressy like a shirt and tie because thankfully I am in a business casual setting where dress shirts with no tie and polo shirts are acceptable to wear with dress pants or kakis.

I recently had the opportunity to review the Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo and I am very happy with the polo shirt that I received. First thing that I noticed and was very happy about was that they offer tall sizes for guys like me who are over the six foot mark. Buying a 2XL tall makes all of the difference in the world and I don’t have to worry about the shirt shrinking because I bought just a regular 2XL. Another thing that I like about the Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo is they offer approximately 20 different colors from rich red to ice pink so there is a color to match everyone’s taste. I typically wear white or blue shirts but this time I stepped out of the box and got the light jade polo which looks really nice with black dress pants.

The Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo is definitely one of those Father’s Day gifts that any dad would love to receive. The polo’s are quality with a no-curl collar and strong buttons that won’t just fall off when buttoning. Finding good polo’s that will last at an affordable price is pretty hard but Land’s End makes it possible.

Want to win a Lands’ End Original Mesh Polo of your own? All you need to do is tell me why you would like to win a Lands’ End polo.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Dad Central Consulting on behalf of Lands’ End and received a polo shirt to facilitate my review, one to giveaway, and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
