Father's Day is the time to celebrate our Fathers, Grandfathers, Great Grandfathers and so on. There are so many ways to do this! Giving a gift to your Father, to celebrate him and thank him for being such a great father, doesn't always have to come wrapped and tied with a bow. There are so many ways to celebrate and thank your father and I want to share a few ways to do that!
Make a Meal
Who doesn't enjoy a good, home cooked meal? Taking time to make a nice meal, and eat it, together with your father is very special. Try something you know he'll love, or let him pick out a recipe!
Table for 2
If you aren't into cooking, going out for a nice meal can be just as special. This gives you time to talk and enjoy time with Dad. Pick a place you love, or try something new!
Experience
Go out and do something new, or something you enjoy with your Dad. Go to the park, Zoo, museum, take a class together or something else you'll both enjoy. If you don't live close, sending a gift card for a particular activity is great too!
Pick Up the Phone
Sometimes life gets in the way and we all become a little too busy. Picking up the phone and calling your Father can be just what he wants. Talking to someone you love can lift the spirit and make your day!
Homemade Gifts
Homemade gifts are always better( in my opinion) because they come from the heart. You take special time to make them, so they are worth so much more! Pick something your Father loves and create a gift based on that. If he likes grilling or cooking, make him an apron or put together a grilling set. Maybe he likes to garden, make him a garden set or maybe paint a pot for him to plant in. Making a card is fun too! I love to make personal cards for family members! See? There are endless ideas for a personal, made at home, gift for Father's Day!
Celebrating Father's Day is so much fun! Make sure to take time and tell your Dad just how special he is to you! I hope this post has given you a few ideas on how to celebrate you Father on this special day!
I love summer for so many reasons! No school, long warm days, swimming, tanning, sunshine, fruit, farmer's markets, grilling....... Celebrating the first day of summer is so much fun! Let me share with you a few ways to do this!
Party Time
Go big and throw a first day of summer party! Invite some friends and get the grill going, make some lemonade and ice tea and have a good time! Since this year Father's Day falls on the same day, double up and make the party and Father's Day party too!
Try a New Recipe
This is a favorite for me! Pick a summer themed recipe and try it out to celebrate the day. I made a watermelon Fresca the other day, it was amazing!
4 cups cubed watermelon
2 cups coconut water
1 cup lemon or lime juice
4 tbs honey
Blend in a blender until frothy. Drink right away for pour into an ice cream machine for a slushy!
Get Sun Tattoos
No, its not what you think! Sun tattoos are great fun, and naturally temporary! Apply sunscreen all over and then pick a spot where you want your tattoo. Get some Elmer's Glue and paint a picture, design or word on to the desired area. Lay out in the sun and let the rays do the work. You'll tan every where but where the glue is, so you are left with sun tattoo!
H2O
You don't have to have a pool for this one, though swimming is fun! Turn on the sprinklers, have a water balloon fight or get out the water guns! Have fun and get soaked!
I hope, what ever you chose to do to celebrate summer, that you have a wonderful First Day of Summer! I also hope that you and your Father, Grandfather, Great Grandfather, Father figure and so on, have a great Father's Day!
