Reviews

I like buying toys; not just for the baby. I like letting other people know when I find a toy I like, and also when I find something I don’t like. That’s why I created this page, so I could give you my opinion on a few of the things I’ve bought (or been given) and tried out. You won’t see any recipes here, coupon codes, or discounts for man purses either. I also really like movies and television, so what you will see are some product reviews, and some service reviews, and lots of movie reviews. You may not have time to watch many movies being a busy father, but if you do, make sure to check here first.

The Best Christmas Music and Classic Christmas Songs

Christmas Music Rocks

Great Christmas music elicits emotion and, more than any other genre, it lifts your spirits and can make your entire day bright and cheery. That’s why I listen to Christmas music all year round.

A New Culture of Shopping Awareness – Blog Product Reviews

Both men and women love to get a good deal on a product.  Sure, we typically buy different products and that is one of the reasons we shop differently. Most guys I know would probably pay $8,000 for a working Star Wars Light Saber signed by George Lucas, and most women wouldn’t.  Along the same [...]

I’ve always wanted to run a movie review website for a couple of reasons: I love watching [...]
