Dallas Dads Group Teams up with Plum Organics for Giving Tuesday Giving Tuesday is a global day of outreach on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. The premise is to start the holiday season in a meaningful way by inspiring people to collaborate with non-profit organizations and give back in their local communities. For the second year in a row, Plum Organics partnered with Dallas Dads Group to target child hunger in North Texas. Plum Organics generously donated an entire pallet of baby food to Hope Supply Co. Members of Dallas Dads Group volunteered to sort and package the food so it could be … [Read more...]
A Morning of Fun With WaterWipes
Disclosure: Dallas Dads Group partnered with WaterWipes for this campaign. Dallas Dads Group strives to provide chances for dads and their kids to come together and do something fun. Fortunately, when the summer heat is on in the DFW Metroplex, we have Play Street Museum, a great chain of indoor kid oriented playspaces.

We packed Plano’s Play Street museum with 19 dads and 25 children to enjoy its “great outdoors” theme, complete with several kid-sized cabins, a … [Read more...]

Child Passenger Safety Week: Are Your Kids As Safe As They Can Be?
The week of September 19th is Child Passenger Safety Week. If you’re like me, you’re thinking that it seems like there’s a day, week, or month for just about everything under the sun these days. I don’t blame you, but this one is really important. Research shows that over 70% of car seats are not being used in cars properly. OVER. SEVENTY. PERCENT. That failure rate may be okay for a non-all star baseball player’s batting average, but not our kids safety. Why do people spend hours reading reviews about what the safest car seat is, and then spend several hundred dollars on it, but don’t … [Read more...]
Pogo Pass: A Great Way to Save On Family Outings.
Editor's Note: This post has been edited to reflect the new reduced price of just 39.98 for Pogo Pass. They have also added three new venues, Amazing Jakes, the Texas Legends basketball team, and North Texas Outdoor Pursuit Center (Rock climbing!). Note: Dallas Dads Group is an affiliate of Pogo Pass and received three complimentary passes in order to test the program and ensure it works how it is advertised. The opinions expressed here are my own. When you organize a dads group, you get people reaching out to you to try and get you to hawk stuff to your members. We’ve gotten … [Read more...]
To All the Caring Dads, Our Heroes.
A hero can be lots of things. There are, of course, the fictitious ones that grace the pages of comic books and movie screens. There are those who formally take a heroic role in our society as a career, such as firefighters. There are those who achieve a platform and use it for influence, such as Jackie Robinson. So where does that leave the rest of us? It was Robinson who said "a life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives." It seems he was talking about all of us, not just those who have formal titles and roles tied to their careers. He's not around to ask, but … [Read more...]
