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.

DIY Salon Worthy Manicure at Home

DIY salon manicure at home So, like many of you mamas I don’t always have time to sneak off to the nail salon to get a manicure. Not only that, but weekly trips to the salon are not always in the budget. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love going to the salon. But the logistics get tough, I have to find someone to watch the youngest of my kiddos. So, a $30 manicure turns into a $50 outing once I pay the babysitter. More often than not, I do my nails at home. Here is how I am able achieve a salon look quickly at home. I tend do my nails at night after the kids are all in bed, while watching TV. Starting with clean dry nails, here is my process. First, I rub hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol on on my nails. This takes the excess oil off of my nails and allows the polish to adhere better. This is the first step to a longer-lasting manicure. Second, I use a basecoat. I love Orly Bonder. It’s a rubberized product that allows the color to stick to y...

Favorite Everyday Shoes

Favorite Kicks I bought these shoes about a year & a half. I LOVE them. I stalked these shoes at my local DSW, I looked up outfits for these shoes on Pinterest. I did my due diligence. Needless to say, I have already gotten my money worth and they are still kicking! I bought mine at my local Store. You can find them online HERE . These are Dr. Sholl’s brand. They have memory foam and are terrific for walking all day. Not to mention, they are a pretty reasonable price point, especially when you consider how often I wear them! I wear them with jeans, leggings and shorts. I’ve even paired them with the occasional relaxed dress. What I love most about them is that they are as comfortable as my running shoes, but they take it up a knotch with fashion & style.

Elementary School - - Must Haves

Well, it’s that time again. It’s about to be back to school. This year looks different, but regardless of what your school is doing this fall there are things you are going to need this fall. If your house is like mine, school supplies and craft supplies are running low. Between finishing school at home and quarantine... we are making due. Here in GA, we are starting back to school as normally as can be anticipated. Masks included, if possible. My elementary age kiddo is pretty good on clothes, but definitely needs somethings to start the year. These are a few things that I have bought or will be buying in addition to the required school supplies. First, as a third grader... she needed a bigger backpack. Lands End is my very favorite place to order back packs and lunch bags! They are wonderfully made and hold up so well. My kids love the prints. The website allows you to filter the size of the backpack based on height. For me, this makes shopping for a backpack SO much easi...
