Father’s Day is time for #RealDadMoments + giveaway

I have this totally obnoxious video of Shae at age 2 running aroung the house shrieking “My Daddy My Daddy My Daddy My Daddy”. It’s something she would do then walk calmly over to Rob to give him a hug and a kiss. It’s a video I watch pretty often because it’s cute to see the love exchanged between the two of them. With Father’s Day coming up in a few short days I watching those videos, gathering up the pictures of Rob and the kids and remembering moments of the kids loving on him hard, #realdadmoments.

The media doesn’t seem to see dads this way. The commercials and horrible “talk shows” portray dads as deadbeats, disconnected from family life and fumbling through life with children. That isn’t the case in our home. Our family works, eats and lives together as a unit not pieces to a mixed-up puzzle.

In our family we have #RealDadMoments

Dove Men+Care is committed to portraying how real men care, the short film below spotlights the expanding and often unrecognized ways dads care for their children featuring #RealDadMoments between children and their fathers, most of which are regrettably absent from media depictions of dads today. Grab a tissue!

This short film is grounded in NEW research from Dove Men+Care, finding that three quarters of dads say they are responsible for their child’s emotional well-being, while only 20% of dads see this role reflected in media.

Dove Men+Care Dad Portrayal Research Study

  • Three quarters of dads say they are responsible for their child’s emotional well-being, while only 20% of dads see this role reflected in media
  • Only 13% of dads believe the media portrays fathers as responsible for childcare
  • 3 out of 5 dads say the media portrays them negatively (61%)

Celebrate the dads in your life with sharing their #RealDadMoments on social media. Upload a picture or video to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Vine using #RealDadMoments to give dad he recognition he deserves.

Watch #Blended Movie plus #Giveaway

Starting off the “summer season” of movies is Blended, the third comedy collaboration between stars Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, following their successful onscreen pairings in the hit romantic comedies “50 First Dates” and one of my all time favorites “The Wedding Singer”.

blended movie poster

Romantic comedies aren’t just for women these days. Especially when you have a cast like this. Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Joel McHale, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Kevin Nealon, Jessica Lowe, Terry Crews, Shaquille O’Neal, Bella Thorne, Emma Fuhrmann, Alyvia Alyn Lynd, Kyle Red Silverstein, Braxton Beckham.

Blended

After a disastrous blind date, single parents Lauren (Barrymore) and Jim (Sandler) agree on only one thing: they never want to see each other again. But when they each sign up separately for a fabulous family vacation with their kids, they are all stuck sharing a suite at a luxurious African safari resort for a week.

Blended comes to theaters May 23, 2014 and is brought to you by Warner Bros.

Say #ThanksBaby this Mother’s Day and Giveaway

Every day I’m reminded of how important being a mother is. It’s not only the faces of my sleeping kids, their arms reaching out to me or their foreheads pressed on my lips. I glance up at the photos of their births and other milestones. I wear jewelry that commemorates moment they’ve impacted my life.

To each of my children I want to give you the strength to be a great person in whatever path you choose to live your life. The road ahead is bumpy and full of many turns. You’ll be faced with decisions that don’t seem fair. Lean on each other for guidance and inspiration.

Follow your heart. Always.

This year for Mother’s Day Pampers wants to make sure we’re saying “Thanks Baby” because without them there wouldn’t be mother’s to celebrate.pampers logo
I may be far past the stage of diaper changes and midnight feedings but I still see my children as my babies. I remember those first moments of life the first steps and the 1st day of school. I’m running out of firsts but I’m the mother I always wanted to be. I have a family that comes to me for hugs, support and advice. I have a family that is connected to each other with their hearts and emotion.
