Earlier this week, Bubbles and I were discussing Father’s Day and what we’d like to do to surprise Daddy. The conversation definitely put the “Father’s Day buzz” in her ear, because at bedtime that night, she asked if we could read one of the kids books on Father’s Day that we have.

Father's Day Books for Kids

It made me realize that while I had shared a list of Mother’s Day books for kids, that I hadn’t ever shared any of our favorite Father’s Day books. And Father’s Day is just as important as Mother’s Day, so I thought it was time to rectify the situation. Continue reading »

This sporting goods gift ideas post is part of a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.

Father’s Day is coming up and this year I have my eye on sporting goods for hubs.  He loves to fish and camp and just be outside in general, and Bubbles has become increasingly interested in those things, too.  I thought it would be appropriate for her gifts for Daddy to be things they can do together.

If sporting goods are on your list, too, Cabela’s has lots of great options.  They’ve even put together a “Tents & Tackles” gift guide for you to make it extra-easy.

So, Father’s Day is a little over a week away. Eek! Between graduations and everything else we’ve had going on around here, it kind of snuck up on me.

Gift Ideas for Dad #GreatestDad

Fortunately, it’s Best Buy to the rescue again. They have gifts for those who like tech, guys who like to entertain – everyone on your list.  One of my favorite gift suggestions for the Gizmo Guru is the new Amazon Fire TV.  It has built-in WiFi and lets you connect to things like Hulu, Pandora, and Netlfix, while also letting you play games like Minecraft-Pocket Edition.  A seriously cool toy for under $100!

When I was growing up, watching baseball with my father was one of my favorite things to do.  If you lived in Maine, you were a Red Sox fan by default, so my entire family (minus me, the Yankees defector) watched pretty much every game.  We even drove to Boston for games at Fenway now and then, and the minor league games in the southern part of the state.

Father's Day Gift Ideas and the Target and Dove Men+Care Baseball Sweepstakes #DOVEALLSTARDAD

A lot of father’s enjoy baseball, and if a father figure in your life does, as well, then you need to head over and enter the sweepstakes from Target and Dove Men+Care.  Create a quick video – either using Instagram or directly on the sweepstakes website – and using #DOVEALLSTARDAD as your hashtag.  Instagram videos can be up to 15 seconds long, and ones submitted directly can be up to 30 seconds.  But hurry – the submission period closes on May 4th.

I’m pretty sure that my Dad loves Disney almost as much as I do. Starting with our very first trip when I was in 1st grade he went out of his way to make it special for me (much like he went out of his way to make most things in my life special). Later in life, when I left the nest and attended college in Florida, he would drive me down (from Maine) at the start of every school year. He always made sure, though, that we had a chance to swing by Disney before hitting the dorms, though.

So I think he’d very much approve of the below messages from Mike and Sulley and Dusty and Skipper.
