Are You Man Enough To Be the #LatteRomeo ? @Starbucks #CaffeMocha #StarbucksVia

Starbucks VIA® Latte
#LatteRomeo Mother’s Day Video Contest

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post, in conjunction with Starbucks and Life of Dad, LLC. I was provided with samples packets of Starbucks VIA® Latte, and received compensation for participating in this promotion.

Starbucks VIA® Latte

Anyone that is married knows that marriage is not always easy, and as you have kids it becomes even more difficult to not only stay the romantic fool that you were when you were younger, but also it is not always easy to say thank you for everything that your partner does to keep everything running the way that it should (at least that is the case in my own home). Every now and again you have to step up and let mom know how much she is appreciated and this mothers day is the perfect time to do this (though anyday would do too).

Life of Dad and Starbucks have partnered together to bring a cool contest to life. You will be able to become a “Latte Romeo” by preparing that special mom a special breakfast in bed accompanied by a Starbucks VIA® Latte. It’ll be a meal that she’ll never ever forget…seriously…ever.

The chance for you to win the #LatteRomeo challenge is not entirely in your hands, you see one of the clinchers here is that you have to let your kids pick what will be served to Mom and you will prepare that feast, no matter what they come up with (now remember – no cheating…you have to make what they pick!).

Starbucks Via Latte Vanilla Latte Powder

Does your 3 year old think Mom wants only cupcakes for breakfast? Well throw on your apron and get baking. Does your son think 7am is the perfect time for a rack of lamb and a side order of nachos? Time for you to start marinating. They name it, you make it. That’s the rule.

The one thing you can be sure Mom will love when presented with her own personal feast is a sweet and steamy STARBUCKS VIA® LATTE that you prepared in your own kitchen! The one thing you can be sure Mom will love when presented with her personalized breakfast is a sweet and creamy Starbucks VIA® Vanilla Latte or a rich, indulgent Starbucks VIA® Caffè Mocha. The best part is she gets her Starbucks without having to leave the bed, and that makes you a #LatteRomeo.

My daughter gave me my marching orders this morning… while we did not do breakfast in bed (as I know my wife and what she appreciates), we did catch her by surprise without burning down the house) and we had fun in the meantime. At the same time, we made J-Mom happy and got her ready for her day of work (she had to work today) with a full stomach. Below is our video and as you can see I definitely AM the #LatteRomeo …. hands down… I know I have this contest in the bag…

Starbucks VIA Latte

That being said I GUESS I should see what you can come up with… though I know you have no chance to compare to this #LatteRomeo . I challenge you to share your ultimate Mother’s Day breakfast story with an Instagram video (only 15 seconds, so get creative) in LIFE OF DAD’S STARBUCKS VIA® #LatteRomeo Contest! The grand prize winner will receive a $500 Starbucks Card.

 

To enter the contest you must:

  • Create an Instagram video of the morning surprise that features the Starbucks Latte. The video length for Instagram is only 15 seconds, so pack in as much awesome as you can. (All videos must contain a visual of the Starbucks VIA® Latte logo and/or mention “Starbucks VIA® Latte” in video.)
  • Share your video on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
  • Email a link to your video to starbucks@lifeofdad.com
  • Include all of the below in your social postings:
  • #StarbucksVIA
  • #LatteRomeo
  • @Starbucks
  • #CaffeMocha or #VanillaLatte (optional)

STARBUCKS will choose the winners on the basis of:

  • creativity of presentation (30%)
  • adherence to cheerful, uplifting theme (40%)
  • Starbucks story/coffee involvement (30%)

Dad 2.0 Summit – Not Your Typical Conference #dad2summit

March 12, 2014 by dadofdivas Leave a Comment

Dad 2.0 Summit

Picture a conference where you get to meet a bunch of dads that are doing an amazing job at raising their kids. This is a conference that is different than others that I have attended, but it is one that I found myself coming back to again for the second year and I know that I will be there again in 2015.

Dad 2.0 Summit

Why do I keep coming back? Is it the dads I get to meet? Is it the amazing brands that have partnered with the conference to reach out to dads like me? Is it the opportunity to reconnect, learn and do more? It is a bit of all of this.

Dad 2.0 Summit

Never before have I learned more from dads that are willing to share their experiences or seen dads being willing to be vulnerable and bearing their fears. This alone would have been enough, but beyond that we were able to meet with and learn about so many great brands over the last two years too that simply want to get to know us as dads and what matters to us. It is not them trying to “sell” us, but instead a conversation and a learning process for both brand and blogger.

Dad 2.0 Summit

I met so many great bloggers and dads at this conference. One such dad that simply brought the house down was Lorne Jaffe of http://www.raisingsienna.com. Lorne was selected as one of the featured bloggers reading posts form their blog to the attendees. He shared a very emotional and moving story about his intense struggle with depression and you could have heard a pin drop at the end (that was before all of the applause). It is things like this and many of theother experiences that have been shared thus far in number of recaps (as posted on the Dad 2.0 Summit website).

National Geographic Animal Jams

For me I have to say thank you to all of the amazing sponsors from the conference. Whether it was Lee Jeans getting us looking our best, Dove Men + Care giving us a haircut and a shave, Cottonelle giving us a new look at our posteriors, National Geographic Animal Jam getting us up close and personal with furry friends or even Jamba Juice and Starbucks for getting us thoroughly energized, these and so many more were so willing to get to know me as a person and were willing to have fun with us too!

Take all of this and bring us to a great city with amazing food, music, art, architecture and so so much more. I am so glad that I attended the Dad 2.0 Summit for these and many other reasons and I am planning on being at the next conference too and so should you!

This Morning Was One That Required Starbucks #Via #LifeofDad

Starbucks Via

I was paid by Life of Dad, LLC to be an entrant in a contest with Stabucks #Via

This Morning Was One That Required Starbucks #Via #LifeofDad
This was one of those mornings that you just have to have caffeine. My youngest had awoke at around 3AM and J-Mom and I heard her calling for us. J-Mom took first stab, but Diva-PJ was having none of it, and would not fall back asleep… so my 4:00 J-Mom came back down. By 4:45 Diva-PJ still had not fallen asleep and I was up (even though I had been up the whole time) to try my hand at getting her back to sleep. After an hour of laying with her she still was not asleep and I threw in the towel saying – I have to get ready for work, and in my mind I was saying – I need caffeine to get through the day.  Thus for me starting with the ease of using a Starbucks Via made perfect sense.

I even made a video about it here – http://instagram.com/p/cyiKhZBzcA/

Do you ever have these moments yourself? If so, share one and you can win some cool prizes thanks to Life of Dad and Starbucks. Go to the following link for all of the information on this great contest: starbucksvia.lifeofdad.com

 

Starbucks Via

Starbucks Via was so easy to make as all you need is hot water and you are golden. You can doll up your coffee any way you want it and then go from there. What’s even better is that with this Starbucks product I don’t have to leave home to get it!

My thanks to Life of Dad for setting up a great contest to share the moments when as Dads we need a Starbucks – for me this morning was a perfect example!
