Getting the sleep I need thanks to the Beautyrest #SleepTracker monitor.

Parents, remember the good old days when you really did not care about sleep? Those days where you used to go out all night with your friends and sleep in the next day until the afternoon?

How many of us wish we had all those missed sleep opportunities back? I, for one, wish I could sleep again like I used to in my pre-children days. It's not that I don't sleep enough, it's just that I think I need healthier habits for my sleep routine.

Things to do!

The Fandads have been thinking about doing these type of post for a while and here is the debut of a new section where we will highlight things to do in Chicago over the weekend. Depending on what activities are going on we will highlight a few things that we think you and your family will enjoy doing in the city.

Let’s begin.

National Husband Appreciation Day (yeah, that's a thing)



Hey Dads, does the image above look familiar? You come home from work and are trying to relax or in my case, trying to catch up on some posts and you are overwhelmed. Well, what not treat yourself to something nice this like a show and a massage to celebrate National Husband Appreciation Day.  (Yes, friends, this is a thing.)

Eating to benefit St. Jude Children's Hospital. 

Disclaimer: The Fandads are St. Jude Ambassadors and we want to share with our Chicagoland readers an upcoming event that may be of interest to them. Photos provided by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. All thoughts and opinions are our own.



Being a "sporty dad" I try to watch what I eat, especially since I'm starting to train again for some upcoming runs. So while I limit certain intakes of food, I make sure to have a cheat day every now and then. Well my friends, if I'm going to have a cheat day, May 2 seems like the best day to do it.

Becoming agents with #SafehouseChicago

The following post might have or have not happened. The Fandads were invited to attend the grand opening of Safehouse. All thoughts and opinions are our own. I think we said too much already.




After getting the clearance from Control, the Fandads can tell you about a new location where you can hang out with fellow agents, have some drinks and regal about your latest missions. This place is called Safehouse.

Silicon Valley Season 3 review and giveaway.

Disclaimer: The Fandads were supplied with a review copy of Silicon Valley Season 3 and all thoughts and opinions are our own. 


HBO continues to deliver the strong and smart comedies and Silicon Valley had been one that I have been watching since season 2. That's right, I did not start watching this show when it first premiered. I caught a few episodes of the second season and had to go back to watch the first season and catch up. Clearly, that was a smart move, because this show is great, especially if you are in the tech industry like some of us bloggers are. 

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story Comes Home. #RogueOne 

Disclaimer: The Fandads were provided with a copy of Rogue One:A Star Wars Story for this review. All thoughts and opinions are our own. 



As I sat down and started watching Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, I had to stop it half way through the movie. It was not that I did not like the movie. The reason that I did that is because I knew what was going to happen to these characters and I just wanted to have more time with them before the movie was over. (If you have not seen this movie yet, STOP READING NOW! There will be spoilers ahead, so you have been warned.)
