The REAL. BIG. Blog

In our quest to cover every wall we continue to look around corners for something that will help you make your kids happy. We don’t want to leave someone out of the Fathead Revolution just because they’re not into sports. In the past few weeks we’ve introduced everything from cartoon animals like jungle animals, farm animals, sea creatures and baby dinosaurs to awesome photographs of horses and lions. There are even these realistic looking dinosaurs like an 8ft Apatosaurus and a T-Rex that will have you running for cover. OK, not exactly the perfect thing for little kids but your Jr. Paleontologist is going to love it.

If Pirates, Princess Castles or Outer Space are more in line with your child’s playful imagination then we’ve done our part to provide the type of experience you’re looking for. Remember, Fatheads are moveable and reusable, and while we don’t recommend moving them every day, you can use them to create a special adventure with your child as you decide what fantasy scenes you want to create.

We have thousands of reviews on our site and it’s amazing how many of them talk about how Fathead is what brings the room together and “gives a room personality”.

Here are a couple of examples:

“We put the Lightning McQueen graphic in my 2 year old grandson’s room to match his new car bed! He loved it! It jumps off the wall at him and it really pulled the whole room together. We even put one of the graphics on the bed!! It was easy to put up and will be even easier to take down when we move!!!” – By Nana from Tucson, AZ

“My son loves Spiderman - and we are re-doing his bedroom. This is a perfect addition to his room.
We also have a Steeler room with a giant helmet, and a Ben Roethlesberger Fathead. They MAKE the room. Everyone comments on it. They are easy to apply and does not mess up the wall. - And they stay up - we’ve never had a problem with it at all! We also bought a Hannah Montana for our daughter. These bring a room to life - so much better than a poster - these are life-sized and give a room personality!” - By Sheila from Southeastern Ohio

We want to hear from you about how you decorate with Fathead so we can share your ideas with Fathead Nation. We’re waiting to hear from you!

A 38-17 beat down by the Pittsburgh Steelers wasn’t the way the Texans planned to start the season. The further the clock ticked away from the coin toss, the more the Texans troubles seemed to mount.
On the opening drive, Coach Gary Kubiak elected to go for a fourth and one in Steelers territory. After an official review, the Texans came up short.  The team – and their game – never bounced back.

Steelers quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, and his offense had a field day with the Texans defense, who seemed to mimic a scout team defense. Roethlisberger nearly had a perfect day going 13-for-14 with 137 yards and two touchdowns. On the ground, the Steelers had their way and then some as Willie Parker rushed 25 times for 138 yards and three touchdowns - more than he had ALL of last year.

The Texan’s offense appeared woeful as well. Matt Schaub,  1-7 on the road as a starter, had two interceptions.  His offense didn’t score until the fourth quarter when the game was well out of reach.
Starting running back Ahman Green had five rushes for 28 yards and rookie Steve Slaton had 13 rushes for 43 yards.  Still, the Texans are desperately seeking relief for their running game.

The only bright spot for the Texans was Mario Williams, who had two sacks and a forced fumble.
Next Sunday, the Texans return home to face the Baltimore Ravens, a big game believe it or not.  An 0-2 start isn’t going to sit pretty with the Houston crowd, especially since every fan is well aware of the team’s opponents for the next three games -  the Titans, Colts and Jaguars.  All playoff teams from last year.
