COOL SITES

There’s a cool site on the internet called DadLabs – an edgy, fun and informative show for fathers and the women who tolerate/love them. Watch their video podcasts as they tackle everyday parenting issues from a Dad’s point of view.

For those with little ones, when is the last time you went to the movies? For me, it was Heffalump! Really! Well, now there are theaters around the country that are joining Baby Pictures – Movies for Parents. At last, a place where parents and babies can enjoy the latest movies without the worry of annoying other people. Stop by National Amusements to see if a theater in your area is participating.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

According to Metropolitan Mama, the marketing agency – Matchstick – in cooperation with Dodge Motor Company is looking for 50 “social and influential moms” from 5 metropolitan cities around the U.S. to test-drive the new 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan for a week. It may sound too good to be true, but then again, what if it’s for real? Go check it out!

If you think your teenager (grades 7 – 12) is a gifted writer or artist, you should definitely check out The Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards of 2008. The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers and its Regional Affiliates are reaching out to schools across the nation to identify America’s most accomplished teen artists and writers. More than 30,000 teens will be recognized regionally and approximately 1,000 will go on to earn national awards. I’m not sure when the deadline is so stop by there soon!

If you would like to have a post on your blog featured in 5 Minutes Around The Blogosphere, please send us an email at features5minutesformom at gmail dot com and we’ll see if it can be arranged.

Kailani can be found at An Island Life and An Island Review.
