 DadSpa.com . . . pampering dads with what they really want!

 
The start of school and professional football make fall my favorite season. The kids
come home with all sorts of things to share that they have learned in school.
It is still nice enough to golf, grill, and go to parks. We have some quality content this
month, including, choosing the winners of DadSpa's first contest, an interview with an
executive from the Green Bay Packers and two new pages that focus on gifts for dads and moms.

Chicago Bears Training Camp Photo Contest - Winners!

As part of promoting ideas for dads to do with the kids, we recently sponsored
a photo contest at the Chicago Bears training camp. The winners are:

Joel Dunn of Kelley, Iowa - he sent in a picture of Devin Hester. His son was lucky
enough to get Devin's autograph too!

Brad Hallmark of Jackson, Wisconsin. Brad sent in a picture of the offensive line
making their way out to practice. You don't really get the full appreciation of their size
unless you are there. So next year take your kid to see your favorite team.


 


When you think of grilling, you
probably thing of Weber.
Chicagoland
area dads, you have an extremely
interesting and appetizing activity
option in your own city. The Weber Grill Restaurant of Schaumburg, IL offers
cooking classes and great dining options.

Click the link above to learn more. The classes sound perfect for the man who loves
to grill, plus you get to eat your creations!

I live in the
Milwaukee area and am interested in getting a group of dads to road trip to Schaumburg for a class soon. Interested? Contact me at food@dadspa.com.

Grilling season is never over! Especially in the Midwest! Many of the guys I know
grill year round. Of course there are special considerations for grilling in the winter.
I know it's only July, but if you thinking about getting that new Weber, go ahead,
you will use it all year anyway!
 

This month's DadSpa updates feature articles about:

Featured Dads - We have a new page devoted to real dads. This time we feature an interview with an executive from the Green Bay Packers and a dad who spends some of his free time as a volunteer fire fighter.

BBQ Grilling tips -ideas, spices, and more. We have spice recommendations from Penzey’s spice, more suggestions from Stump’s Hot Olives, as well as some great activity and dining ideas.

Planning a trip to professional football training camp – the first steps involved with planning your trip.

Vacation planning ideas – we have included some updates regarding where we chose to go this year.

Emergency preparedness – I live in the Midwest and there have been some very scary flooding incidents close to home.

What games are we playing now? Check out the games we have been playing lately- Wii Fit and Rummikub.

 

Nothing tastes better on the grill than steaks and burgers.
As long as you have the grill
all fired-up, you may as well be grilling
the best meat possible.
  Games make those summer nights, after being in the sun all day, just a little more fun. You may even slip in a little logical thinking exercise- don't tell the kids!   Golf to me is like a puzzle that evolves! Each time you play the puzzle changes. Each time you play your perspective on the game can change, too! It's not uncommon to be completely frustrated one hole and on top of the world the next. Fall golf can bring new challenges not to mention sales on golf equipment.

DadSpa.com's Mission
Oh sure, you’ve probably been to a spa to buy a gift card or service for your wife, but this is not that kind of spa. At DadSpa.com, our goal is to provide dads (and those who love them) with information they can use to enhance a dad's life.

At DadSpa.com, we treat dads the way they really want to be treated. Dads are practical people. While they love to have a good time, they understand that responsibilities often come first. DadSpa.com is arranged with those priorities in mind. The Plan, Play, and Relax sections each highlight different important aspects of being a dad, while maintaining the fun side of being a man. We aim to offer new ideas, fresh opinions, great products and anything else we think might be of interest to dads. When links to other sites are provided, it is because we thought you might enjoy a certain product or service.  Please visit the companies that are associated with any of the graphical advertisements that appear on this site. Link through this site, as you make purchases for dad or others, and DadSpa.com will be able to offer you more and more dad-focused commentary.
