    Episode 44- Alternate Appliance Plans

    Hey Disaster Dad family! 

    This summer is full of travel (work and family), so we are having a haphazard recording schedule with the Dads. We appreciate your patience and hope you stick with us. 

    This week we had plans to discuss the importance of alternate plans, but then Disaster Joe went on a rant about appliances. Luckily, he highlighted the need to have alternate plans for appliance shopping as well. 

    Make sure to give the #SummerOfDad a go and let us know what's going on.

    Hello Disaster Dad Nation! We missed you and I'm sure you missed us. The Dads have been galavanting from one kid party to another.

That said, enjoy our rants and rattles and we look forward to catching back up with you!

We heard about Camp Heat, a great summer camp that the ACFD puts on for girls ages 15-18 and with 7 daughters in the Disaster Dad family, we wanted to chat about it. I mean, how couldn't we....a free summer camp that involves fire? A no brainer. 

    We really appreciated the time that Sarah and Cheryl took out of their evening to discuss the camp and put up with our shenanigans. If your household has a young girl that may be interested in the fire service....you can't go wrong with a fun summer cam

    This episode, the Dads were thrilled, and honored, to chat with Sarah from the Vienna Chapter of Moms Demand Action. Sarah is an instructor for the Be SMART program and she shared the history of the program, who the target audience is (spoiler alert: It's for everyone!), and how you can get involved if you want to. Whether you grew up around guns or have never handled a firearm, the Be SMART program is a great way to prime a conversation about gun safety.
