Dick’s Sporting Goods has been our family’s go-to place for anything sports related from the time we had kids. In fact, our daughter was mere months old when we found ourselves at Dick’s looking for the perfect ball. We ended up with a hot pink tennis-ball sized street ball. We still have it, fourteen years later. She loved it.
We’re thrilled to have a Dick’s Sporting Goods near us. The kids (and I include the husband here) enjoy soccer, golf, basketball, football and various other sports that Dick’s supplies us for like air hockey pucks and dart tips. Truly, there’s little that you can’t get at that mega sports store. My husband exclusively shops for shoes at Dick’s. He works at a hospital and is on his feet all day long, so athletic shoes seem like the smartest choice.
Dick’s Sporting Goods offers something for everyone. Really. They carry exercise equipment, clothing (some really cute stuff, too), bikes, skates of all kinds, golf equipment, winter sport gear, water sport gear, things for the rec room to keep the kids entertained on winter evenings, hunting, fishing and camping gear as well as equipment for all the major ball sports. One of my favorite sections is the backyard where I can check out hammocks and fire pits.
Have I mentioned that Dick’s has everything for the outdoors? And lots for indoors as well? And their employees are fully trained to be able to help you with anything that you need. Answer questions, get you set up for a new sport, help find an elusive rec room item – you’re at the right place.
Buy Your Own: Dick’s Sporting Goods can be found online at dickssportinggoods.com or you can visit them at your local sports emporium and browse to your heart’s content.
Win Your Own: Dick’s Sporting Goods is just as generous with their giveaways as they are with their sporting choices. One lucky reader will win a $100 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card. (You didn’t read that wrong. It’s $100!) Here’s how to enter:

Following @abritdifferent.
Wow, what would I buy? Probably the first thing I would look at is a new pair of trainers (tennis shoes), I haven't bought any in about 12 years. I would treat myself! Either that or I'd put it towards the purchase of a bike for myself to lose weight when the baby gets here in October.
Failing that, I'd also look at winter coats for both of my boys (thanks Montana weather!).
So many possibilities!
