Father’s Day Gift Guide

Father’s Day is just around the corner. If you are like me, I struggle shopping for my husband. So many of the things my husband would want are things I can’t buy for him... he needs to pick out for himself.... golf clubs!

Anyhow, I have put together a small list of ideas for the dad in your life. Lots of price ranges and variety of interests. With Father’s Day being in June, I always tend for outdoor themed items. The daddy at our house is into golf and bbq... among other things. So most of my choices are those two heavy.

Alma mater or favorite team polo. My husband is a K-State grad and Wildcat clothes are always a hit! No matter whether it’s a polo, tee shirt, athletic shorts or sweatshirt, favorite team apparel is always a winner.

I have been wanting to get a soft sided high end cooler for my husband. I’ve looked into the Yeti brand, but upon asking around I heard that it may not be the best of the best. I’ve heard that the Rtic brand is so good and much less expensive. When you live in the South and do anything outside a high quality cooler is a must!

Magnetic bbq lights. These are genius. Don’t tell my husband, I ordered a set of these for him. We use our bbq grill and smoker a lot! I think he’s really going to enjoy these lights!

Golf items. So my husband is a big golfer. It’s sometimes hard to gift him golf related things because clubs are so specific and other golf items need to be tested or tried before you make the investment. Clothes are pretty safe, especially in men’s sizes... they typically true to size. The other things I’ve put on the list are a practice net and an outdoor game... cornhole meets putting. Love it!

Sunglasses are a risky gift, but if he has a favorite high quality brand he loves... then it’s safer. My husband has been wearing Maui Jim’s for years. They are his favorite. We like them because this particular style is pretty versatile. He can wear them dressed up for work or dressed down watching a ball game or playing golf. They are too sporty.

This basting brush set is really clever. The baster is the lid. So it’s easy to leave outside without it getting critters inside. Dishwasher safe. I got one of these for my hubs for Christmas this past year.

Whatever your budget, do something to celebrate the dad in your life. Whether that be your husband, your kids dad, your favorite uncle, your own dad! Celebrate them. Let them know how much they mean to you and how your life would be less without them. The truth of the matter, whoever you are and whoever you celebrate this coming weekend....Love them. Appreciate them. Value them.

Motherhood

Motherhood has the unique ability to expose our deepest weaknesses as well as highlight personal substance you never knew was there. In the trenches of the days of no sleep, spit up covered shirts and endless dirty diapers you discover the deepest part of who you are. One thing I have learned in the last almost 10 years of motherhood, is that knowing who I am is vital to my success. As Americans, I see great fear in understanding one’s own weaknesses. I know the opposite to be true. I see strength in your own full self discovery. We see women that look a certain way and are wearing certain things and we think that we have to imitate that to establish our identity. I see women everyday who are stretched to the brink, trying to do it all. As mothers, it’s important to relay to our children that weaknesses are a part of who we are, we are not defined by those rather we are defined by our strengths. When we truly know who we are, we can feel more comfortable making choices t...

Valentines Snack Mix

This snack mix is so easy & versatile for any holiday or activity. This is a super kid pleaser. The variety I made is nut free, there is a peanut allergy in my daughters class. I started with popcorn & pretzels as my base. I popped my popcorn on the stovetop, you could just as easily use pre-bagged popcorn (Smartpop) or microwave popcorn. I used 8 cups of popcorn and 3 cups of pretzels. Mix in a large bowl. Next, melt your vanilla coating chocolate. Follow the melting instructions on the package. I dyed mine pink for the occasion. Once the coating candy is melted and the right color, pour it over your mix. Stir constantly until is all incorporated. Spread out on parchment or wax paper. I used valentines sprinkles next... this is optional... but too cute to pass up! Next, I did the chocolate covered pretzels. I used the remainder of the bag of pretzels. Same process as before, but using chocolate. Sometimes this is referred t...

Monday Must Have - - - Closet Clothing Dividers for Kids

Mom's Take back your morning!!!! If you are like me and have multiple school age children, mornings can be stressful and time consuming. The fight about clothes and hurrying to get dressed in the morning can be endless and infuriating. I envy those of you whose children wear uniforms to school. But regardless of if they wear everyday clothes or uniforms this method is priceless. This also allows momma to see if everything they need for the week is clean and ready. I also hang practice clothes or jersey's with the day of the week of the game etc. I started this when my oldest was in preschool. It allows us organization and frees our mornings up. When I started doing this, I used a hanging sweater organizer. This was a good fit for the closet at the time and it worked for our space. Now, my oldest two children share a room and closet, so this method works better for us. I ordered colorful set of clothing organizers from Amazon . ...
