Daddy Decorating Tip: Wall decals work great on sheetrock
Feb.23

When we developed our stylish line of removable wall decals, we never imagined that they might become an essential item in Daddy’s toolbox.  Well, the worlds of home decorating and home repair have officially merged!

If you type in “How to Fix a Wall” on the YouTube searchbar, you’ll get 368 video listings for drywall and spackle and putty. But our guy avoids the mess and has a lot more fun with the WallCandy method.

Our Monster Patrol characters, like all our wall stickers, are thick and durable and won’t show any pesky and unsightly air bubbles when you smooth them with your hand.

I love this guy’s revelation that he doesn’t even know the real way to patch a wall. Whether he’s joking or not, there definitely is a sharp decline in the modern male’s knowledge of home and car repair compared to our fathers and grandfathers.

Dockers, the khakis company, just launched its sarcastic “Wear the Pants” campaign inferring that men need to go back to their traditional ways.

Hey, there’s no harm in taking an auto repair class or spending a few more hours at Home Depot a week. But there’s no need to give up the decorating component of home improvement.

My sources say that most women dig guys who are into wall decals.  What do you think?

By the way, all guys who sign up for our newsletter get a free $10 coupon for any WallCandy product.

Meet the New Cupid: Can wall decals really bring more romance into a marriage?
Feb.11

Monster Patrol wall decals not only engage children's imaginations and dispel nightmares, but they also heroically restore parents back to their rightful place in bed!

Meet the new Cupid!  His name is Heinrich — his friends call him “Henry” — and he’s the cutest, most powerful toddler superhero in the history of childhood.

Henry is the squad leader of the Monster Patrol, an elite anti-nightmare unit dispatched to your child’s bedroom to give them the confidence that they can sleep restfully knowing the homefront is secure. His popcorn-like “Monster Pops” magically make monsters disappear in an instant!

There’s another proven way that kiddies can find safe refuge from monsters, and that’s by hopping in bed with mom and dad. Depending on how many kids you have, and their level of monsterphobia, this nightly migration can turn the grown-ups into refugees.

That’s what used to happen in WallCandy CEO Allison Krongard‘s house, when her children, Lilly and Brandon, would scamper into her bed at all sorts of ridiculous hours of the night.

“It was crazy,” laughs Allison. “Nobody ever woke up in the same bed they started in!”

Allison’s husband ironically would scrunch himself into Brandon’s WallCandy toddler bed, despite the option for stretching out in Lilly’s queen bed.  She suspects the pink girly decor may have been a subconscious deterrent.

But now with the Monster Patrol on guard 24/7, everyone sleeps in their own beds — thus restoring the natural order of husband and wife elbowing each other in the night.

“Telling your kid that monsters aren’t real doesn’t work,” says Allison. “You need something imaginary to fight something imaginary.”

While we can’t guarantee that your love life will improve if you bring the Monster Patrol into your home, we’re pretty sure the imaginary monsters will be scared out of their wits!
