All aboard the #MilkDrive to Feeding America #Sponsored

Every morning in our houseshold there are three containers filled with milk: my son's sippy cup, my daughter's cup and my cup that I drink while getting her ready for school.  While this might seem like a normal occurrence in most households, the truth is that it is not.

The Fandads are coming for you Rock!! #Sponsored

After countless false starts and firing some of the best directors out there (too many slow motion shots Bay) the Fandads #SuperMilkMan video is finally up!

Recently Fandads teamed up with Milk to help promote The Rock's new milk campaign.  This team up led to an amazing twitter party, some fun trash talk between the dadbloggers competing, but it also led to some fun videos about how we become #SuperMilkMan.  Out of the 25 entrants, one lucky dad blogger is going to win the chance to meet The Rock and maybe compete with him to see who can rescue the most cats from a tree.

Our video was fun to make and I'm glad I got to share this experience with my little girl (we're looking at you big award given to movie stars)!  Enjoy the video below, share your thoughts with us and make sure to view the other videos on Instagram using the hashtag #SuperMilkMan.  Make sure you visit The Breakfast Project for tips, recipes and a chance to win some milk.  Yes, you heard that right. Let me repeat; a chance to win some milk!



Thanks for supporting us and hopefully we'll get a chance to meet the Rock and enjoy a nice glass of milk, after we Rock Bottom a few aliens together.

As always, thanks for reading.

T-Shirt Thursday!

In honor of Fandads working with Milk this month, this weeks shirts are milk themed from our friends over at Threadless.com.  The shirt "Cookie Loves Milk" was designed by Jess Fink and is a great choice for this week, because what goes better with an 8 ounce glass of milk but some delicious chocolate chip cookies or any type of cookie for that matter.  

Our second shirt titled "The Milky Way" was designed by Budi Satria Kwan and may be the answer to how our galaxy was created or at least an interesting dramatization.

Both of these shirts can be purchased through Threadless by clicking on their respective links. Fandads recently went to a picnic thrown by the Threadless crew and we learned a few things.

1.  Threadless headquarters is located right here in Chicago.
2.  If I were a creative person, I would love to work here.
3.  I learned to make buttons with my little girl.
4.  I'm good at throwing darts at balloons.

5.  I can't wait for the next years Threadless Reunion Picnic. 

The Fandads and The Rock...It Could Happen! We are Official #SuperMilkMan Entrants

Thanks to the Life of Dad site we were given a great opportunity to be featured in their "30 Dads, 30 Days" posts earlier this year. Now, again thanks to this site, we are an official entrant in the #SuperMilkMan contest where we can win a trip to hang out with The Rock.  Imagine that: Finally, the Fandads meet the Rock in Chi-caaaa-goooo!!!  Well, I don't know if that's where we're going to meet, but either way, IT DOESN'T MATTER where we meet. Whatever does happen, the Fandads will go one on one with the great one. (Alright, enough catchphrases.)

So what do we have to do to meet The Rock?  We have to make a 10-15 second video on Instagram and post it here, Facebook, Twitter and just spread the word about #SuperMilkMan.  Pretty easy right? The question is can we match the ultimate #SuperMilkMan, The Rock? Remember his commercial during the Big Game? (Trying not to get in trouble by using the actual term)  Here's a reminder:





I think our video can top this. We are just waiting for Zach Synder to finish the storyboards and then it's showtime.  So keep an eye on the space below to witness the awesome that we are creating.  (Man, I'm hyping this up too much.)

Now, we're not going to have all the fun of making a video and leave our readers out.  You can get in on this too.  Here's how: This Thursday, August 15 Noon EST/11am CST, there will be a Twitter Party thrown by Life of Dad (@lifeofdadshow) and co-hosted by @tommyriles @ChrisRoutly @CuteMonsterDad and @DiaryDad. During this twitter party you will have the chance to win one of 5 "The Rock - Milk Prize Packs" (a $98 value).  So if you're on Twitter, Follow us @fandads and @lifeofdadshow and use the hashtag #SuperMilkMan to take part in the party, maybe win a prize, learn more about milk and smell what the Fandads are cooking (sorry, I just had to add that one).
