The Home Depot - Kids Workshop

The Home Depot offers a Kids Workshop once per month.  The event is FREE and provides a great Do-It-Yourself (DIY) opportunity for you and your child!


First, you need to register online for the event:  Workshops

The event at my Home Depot is held outside in the Contractor Pick-up area.  Prepare to stand for a long period of time and bring a water and/or snack depending on the age of the child.  Some wipeys to remove paint from hands would also be helpful.


The time of the activity is scheduled from 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m., but you should show up at about 8:50 a.m.  The event states "While supplies last."  This applies to the DIY project, aprons, pins, and certificates.

The Home Depot provides tools; typically a hammer and a screwdriver are needed.  However, I recommend bringing some tools of your own since a large number of people attend.  If you have more than one child that will need help building the object, you should bring another adult with you.


Previous DIY projects have involved paint and stickers.  You are not required to do this on-site in case you need to leave early.  Also, it may be helpful to wrap the paper instructions around your child's project, so that you do not get paint all over your vehicle.


We had a lot of fun building a Rocket Pencil Case on Saturday, August 3!  If you're able to attend the next Kids Workshop on Saturday, September 7, please take some pictures and use #rgvdads


Thank you to The Home Depot for providing a quality event for our families.  We are looking forward to to the next Kids Workshop!

The Beginning

Nine years ago, my wife and I were in the hospital expecting our first child.  We were both filled with a range of emotions (my wife more so since she was actually doing the whole childbirth thing).  It was determined that she was going to have a Cesarean section.  I was amazed with the number of medical professionals in the room with us as the surgery took place.  I saw my wife's doctor inhale some Oreo cookies before scrubbing in for the procedure!  Each person seemed to have a specific role in the process.  My wife and I had agreed that I would follow our newborn after delivery since she would need to stay behind, and I did just that. Later the three of us would be reunited and I had the pleasure of changing the first diaper as my wife was still recovering from the surgery.  I am thankful that she was there to talk me through the process because I was nervous (I would later become a professional; changing thousands of diapers). While in our hosp...

Walmart+

I started a FREE 15-Day Trial of Walmart+ and I like it!   The main reason I signed up was for the Mobile scan & go feature.  Normally I'm in Walmart by myself and I love to move quick!  I can grab my items and scan them as I place them in my cart.  Once I arrive to self-check out, I take my phone and scan the QR code.  I bag my groceries and I'm out of there! Yesterday we decided to place our first grocery delivery ever!  I'm late to the delivery game.  My family and friends have been telling me how great it is living in 2020 (I know, despite COVID-19).  Ordering with the app was easy, although some of our items were not available.  We decided we did not want any substitutions.  We scheduled delivery for the next morning and they showed up during the chosen window of time!  Did we have a problem?  Yes.  I think that is to be expected.  One of our items was damaged.  I called the 1 800 number and was iss...
