I love entering contests on blogs. There are times that it requires that you tweet about it. I am not a fan of doing this because I end up letting a bunch of people knowing about it. Yes it adds an entry for me but it also adds more people.
This is what happened with BenSpark.com Ultimate Izeafest Giveaway. I did every entry possible because I wanted to go to Izeafest. I also need a laptop. I don’t have one and a blogger without a laptop is a basically homeless. I digress. I tweeted about it so often that it drew the attention of MommaDJane. So she entered and guess what she beat me and won the grand prize but I won the runner-up prize.
The months following we tweeted back and forth and developed a friendship. Then at Izeafest we around each and our friendship grew. (She beat me at yet another contest but I won’t hold that against her).
During a chats, we thought it be cool if we did a man/woman’s perspective on things. I just read a whole book trying to figure what women are thinking. From this “Because I Said So†mom and dad editions were born.
Every Friday there will be a post on some topic. I will give the guy/dad perspective and MommaDJane will give the woman/mom’s perspective. We will not compare notes or discuss the topic beforehand (we did for this introduction post but no more after that). We will schedule our posts to go live around the same time and you can get both mand and woman’s perspectives on the topic.
Have a topic or question you would like to hear our views on? Have you always wanted to hear both sides of a topic or answers to a question, unbiased? You can submit topics or questions via comments or even anonymously to buckdaddy@buckdaddyblog.com. We will pick questions at random and blog on one topic per week.

This is a great idea!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!! I have a suggestion…I have 4 kids…3 of who are boys aged 5-9…and they are what I call repeat offenders. No matter how many times I get onto them for using all of the shampoo as bubble bath — they still do it…they do this with other things as well…(jumping on the furniture, leaving the backyard, and getting into things just to name a few. Which means that I, their poor loving Mama must keep a vigilant eye out for them. Just this morning they used up an entire bottle of ecostore baby shampoo (12.50) that I won in a blog giveaway. I know that I am distracted most of the time since their are 3 of them and of course there is my sweet 2 year old princess (she gets into her fair share of trouble) but I need some help teaching these children the value of trust worthiness.
My suggestion:
What to do about a repeat offender? How do you teach your children to be trust worthy with your things?
Mellisa,
This is a tough topic! I'll have to put some thought into this and think of some ways that I try to teach trust to little ones.
Thanks for your idea!
this is cool! we also started incorporating a Mom's/Dad's perspective on reviews the other one is doing. Good luck and I can't wait to see how it goes.
