happy father's day

Wishing all the wonderful dads a 

Happy Father's Day!  

Along with some friends, my family and I had a little breakfast on the back porch.  A small celebration of gratitude to my husband - the best dad a wife could ask for!  And, of course, I have to thank my own father on this day.  I wish I could have made him breakfast too, but unfortunately the miles between us make that impossible.  In his honor, I listened to Jimmy Buffett's Little Miss Magic - our song.  Not only did I listen to that song countless times with my father throughout my childhood, but it was the song my dad and I danced to at my wedding.  

I love you both! 

   

happy father's day

A day full of sleeping in, golfing, fishing, cook-outs and hammock laying! To all the wonderful dads out there, I hope you have a relaxing day with your families. And a special happy father's day to two special men in my life. My father and my husband. Two very special fathers. You both go above and beyond daily to make your children feel loved and I thank you. Happy Father's Day!

father's day gift ideas

The time to celebrate the wonderful fathers in our life is fast approaching. (Dad and hubby, if you're reading, look away!) I thought I'd share a couple ideas I thought were cool - and some even have an entertaining flare!

For starters, I have always thought this card from Martha is adorable! Maybe this year I'll actually make it instead of thinking about making it. Tutorial here.



Not to get too sappy, but this is a great journal for dads to complete and eventually pass along to their children. Each page has questions for dad to answer in his own words. Found it at one of my favorite stores - Paper Source!

For a fun toy-like gift, look at this Lego Architecture set. So fun right!? I love this idea for a couple reasons. First, this would be a fun gift for a dad and his kids to do together. Secondly, and a little more personally, I am married to an architect, who also loves NYC, so yeah, it's perfect! It's available here at the Moma Store.



Now for something that is quirky, unexpected and hilarious! Kind of a gag gift. I think this would be great for the hard-to-buy-for dad. You know the ones (like my dad) who already have everything they need and ask for nothing. Find it here.



Okay, now for my favorite... The "Hopside" Down Glass. Also available from Paper Source here. I would even love to have these. Fun for a casual beer and pizza night with friends.



All pretty fun huh!? Father's Day shopping here I come!
