This Dad Loves Watches – Timex

June 15, 2012 by

Over the last two years I have become somewhat obsessed with watches and collecting them and currently have four in my collection and just added a fifth.  My newest watch is the Timex Quartz Fly-Back Chronograph and I must admit it’s really an awesome watch.

The first thing that I really like about this watch is that it is black stainless steel.  All of the watches in my collection are silver and with this one I wanted to add some color to my collection.  I have looked at a few white watches but for some reason I can’t pull it off but this black Timex Quartz Fly-Back Chronograph pops when I have it on and I must admit looks pretty darn good.  Timex is known for quality long lasting watches so I know this is one that I am going to have in my collection for a while.

Lets get into some specifications of the watches for all of you watch geeks like myself:

  • 6-hand proprietary movement
  • Independent motors and microprocessors
  • Four hour fly-back chronograph
  • 2nd time-zone function
  • Stainless steel case
  • INDIGLO® night-light
  • 100m water-resistant
  • Date feature

With Father’s Day this Sunday this watch would make a perfect gift for that watch enthusiast or just someone who appreciates a really nice watch.

April 30, 2012 by

In our house we like to watch anything that has to do with the earth or nature and recently we got a chance to analyse a copy of Frozen Planet.  In addition to the DVD series we also received a cool penguin hat and some awesome cookies that the kids couldn’t get enough of.

From the Emmy-winning team behind Planet Earth and The Blue Planet: Seas of Life, this is the original 7-part BBC series, Frozen Planet, narrated by world-renowned naturalist Sir David Attenborough and including over 90 minutes of footage not shown on television plus over four hours of bonus materials! 

Last Sunday it was a rainy day out so we all stayed in and made lunch with popcorn and cookies and watched the first DVD in the series which included The ends of the earth, Spring and Summer.  It was about 3 hours long and Shae hung in for about an hour but Melinda, Sabreena, Shaun and I watch the whole first disc which was AWESOME.  It is awesome to see  animals like polar bears and killer whales close up in their natural habitat and it is amazing that people are able to brave the elements to catch this kind of footage.

Spring arrives in the polar regions, and the sun appears after an absence of five months.

Summer

Norelco Senso Touch 3D Evalutation

February 13, 2012 by

I am not sure where I stand when it comes to shaving but I would love to know if I am the minority or the majority.  Do men love to shave?  I will be honest and say I 100% hated shaving until I received the Norelco Senso Touch 3D electric shaver. I would think ahead on what days I would have to shave for work and knew those days I would be irritated.

I know you are going to say that I need to say that because I received this for consideration but I am serious when I say this is the best shaver I have ever tried. I still don’t love to shave but I also don’t hate it like I used to.  My skin is extremely sensitive so I could only shave in the shower when my face was wet and the hairs were soft otherwise my skin would get so irritated and cut up but with the Senso Touch 3D I am able to shave when I get out of the shower with no problems at all.

The Norelco Senso Touch 3D (1290x) is a wet and dry electric shaver so I now have options.  I can use the shaver in the shower if I want which I still haven’t done or once I get out which I have done probably 25 times already.  With a tradition razor and shaving cream I would only shave twice a week otherwise my face would be all messed up but now that I am using the Norelco Senso Touch 3D I am able to shave daily with ZERO problems meaning no skin irritation or anything.  When I was in college I tried using an electric shaver and I HATED it so I was very hesitant when I received the Senso Touch 3D but I am pleasantly surprised and will NEVER go back to my old razor, we are through!!!

Here are a few highlights:

  • Philips GyroFlex 3D system adjusts seamlessly to every curve
  • UltraTrack heads catch every hair with just a few strokes
  • SensoTouch Shavers with patented Super Lift&Cut Action
  • Aquatec seal for comfortable dry & refreshing wet shaves
  • Smooth, low-friction SkinGlide to minimize irritation

The Norelco Senso Touch 3D is super easy to use as well as clean.  It has given me a shave that my traditional razor could never give me.  It is close and like I mentioned it doesn’t irritate my skin which is huge because I wouldn’t shave just so I could avoid the uncomfortable feeling.  I’ve never used an electric razor and heard lots of things like it would take weeks for your skin to get used to it but the 1st night I was impressed.  Instead of shaving 2-3 times a week I can now shave nightly if I want and not worry about my skin afterwards.

The Senso Touch 3D is a shaver that I will be using for very long time.

Luckily we are offering this same shaver to ONE lucky Look What Mom Found…and Dad too reader.  Check out the Rafflecopter Widget below for entry rules and extra opportunities to win.

Skylander Spyro’s Adventure

November 21, 2011 by

Video games are big in our house.  We have the Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and the Nintendo DS so needless to say my kids as well as I love video games.  Recently Activison released a pretty cool game that I am sure is going to be a hit called Skylander Spyro’s Adventure.

Every time Shaun sees the Skylander commercial on TV he tells Melinda and I how bad he wants that game and I can totally understand because it looks awesome.  This is the first game that allows the gamer to bring an action figure to life.  All you have to do is place a Skylander on the Portal of Power and they come to life in the video game.  To me this might be the coolest feature of the game and it a feature that kids are going to find really cool. Skylanders are more than just action figures in the game they are action figures with brains.  Skylanders will remember their in game experiences and upgrades and they move through the world of Skyland.

One feature that kids and gamers are going to love is it doesn’t matter what gaming system your friends have because the Skylanders work on and across all major video gaming systems.  So that means you grab your favorite Skylanders take them to your friends house place them on their Portal of Power  and your Skylander will come to life in the game.

Skylander Spyro’s Adventure is available for Wii, Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo 3DS and available at most major retailers.

80’s Hits With A Kids Twist

January 17, 2011 by

I don’t know about you but I like when bands make kids music using 80’s hits like Juice Box Heroes. Shaun loves the words and tune while Melinda and I remember the original hit that inspired the song that Shaun is jamming to.

Juice Box Heroes is WELL received in our home as Shaun listens to it nightly at bed time. You can see my review HERE of there 1st CD No Sugar Added.  They have recently released a new CD called Loose Tooth and I have to admit this is another hit CD in our house.  I love the original 80’s hit that inspired this CD.

This morning Melinda and I had a listen to the CD and immediately Shaun starting singing the first song Loose Tooth which was inspired by Kenny Loggin’s Footloose.  I moved to track two and Shaun then again started singing so I know if Shaun knows these words he has been listening to this CD a lot.  Like I said above the music is inspired by some cool 80’s hits and have been redone into awesome kids songs.

Below is a list of songs on the Loose Tooth CD:

TRACKS INCLUDE:
1. Loose Tooth – Kenny Loggin’s “Footloose”
2. Lemonade – Bruce Springsteen’s “Glory Days”
3. Fire Station – Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration”
4. Freeze Tag – J. Geils Band’s “Freeze Frame”
5. Sound Like an Elephant – The Bangles’ “Walk Like An Egyptian”
6. Room’s A Mess – General Public’s “Tenderness”
7. I Wish I Could Tie My Shoes – Rick Springfield’s “I’ve Done Everything For You”
8. Merry Go ‘Round – Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me ‘Round (Like a Record)”
9. Just Love Tonka Trucks – Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough”
10. Wearin’ Underwear – Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ On A Prayer”
11. Raspberry Sorbet – Prince’s “Raspberry Beret”
12. Don’t Stop Reading – Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin'”
13. Celebrate The Juice Box (Bonus Track) – Pat Benatar’s “Hit Me With Your Best Shot”

If you are looking for some pretty cool kids music that your kids will love and you will enjoy as well they you need to pick up both of Juice Box Heroes CD’s : No Sugar Added and Loose Tooth.
