The Life of Dad Mobile App Arrives in Time for Father’s Day!

Life of Dad App

Some days you just want to have a whole community of dads right at your fingertips. With the new Life of Dad App it looks like you have just that, anywhere. This new app is pretty awesome. You can connect with a bunch of other Dads and do some fun things together with them. You can also showcase your own photos of you and your kids to share with the community.

I have had the privilege of working with these great guys from Life of Dad on some awesome campaigns but it is the feeling of community and working together that has been the best experience. I’m excited that now access to these other dads is right on my phone. So that things like my experience with Andrew the other day could have been shared and discussed so that I could get some help and advice.

Take a look at all of features of the app in the press release below.

CAMERA: The camera feature includes fatherhood themed filters and customized frames bound to make any picture more exciting. To celebrate the launch of the new app, Life of Dad partnered with Disney. On June 3 rd , dads from around the country hosted father/daughter Beauty and the Beast screenings with red carpets, dinner, and unique photo opportunities thanks to the app! You don’t have to be a member of the community to use the camera feature, and photos taken in the app can be shared on other social media platforms or can be posted on any Life of Dad channels. Life of Dad co-founder Tommy Riles says, “When dads are with their kids, they are often out and about and taking photos. We wanted to provide them with something special to make their pictures more memorable. The filters we offer are similar to the ones on Snapchat, Instagram, or Facebook, but ours are made by dads for dads, so we’re confident our vibrant community will really enjoy them.” Continue reading The Life of Dad Mobile App Arrives in Time for Father’s Day! →

Car 3 Press Screening ADVENTURE in BOSTON!

Kids at Griddlers
Photo-A-Day #4445

I took the kids into Boston to see a press screening of Cars 3. We were provided tickets to see the movie. Still cost over $50 for the adventure (dinner, parking , $14 for 3 bags of candy) but the tickets were free. Opinions on the movie are entirely our own.

From the first moment of the Cars 3 Teaser Trailer months and months ago I knew that something special was coming from the franchise. I was personally disappointed in the direction that Cars 2 took. Even though the trailer gave me chills I still held in reserve my anticipations of the movie being good. After seeing the movie last night, cheering with the assembled crowd, laughing out loud and tearing up I can unequivocally say that Cars 3 was the sequel to cars that always should have been. It was fantastic! I loved the new character of Cruz Ramirez and she is a character that your kids will also love. This movie pays tribute to the past and looks to the future in such wonderful ways. I absolutely loved Cars and Cars 3 was well worth the wait.

Our adventure brought us into Boston to have dinner at Griddlers, wait out the giant downpour and then venture to the AMC Theater. There we took our seats in the Press section and settled in to watch the movie. Behind us were 7 or 8 13 year old boys who were excited to see the movie because they were fans ever since Cars came out. This means that they were 2 when Cars came out in 2006. Boy did I feel old at that one. They were pretty good but one kid was telling a story, very animated, and he kicked my seat. I turned around and really didn’t say anything. He got really quiet and then I heard him ask a friend if he could switch seats. I didn’t even say anything to him. I guess I just looked scary. I kind of felt bad because I never handle those situations well.
