Only 13 Days Away

What's your plan for Father's Day?

My husband and I talked to my son yesterday on what to do on Father's Day. We came up with two options - rent a couple of cabana's at the resort by my house and hang out for the day, or boat on the lake for the day. Personally, I think the resort by the house will be the most relaxing option, but the lake might be more fun.

I looked up some gift ideas that I thought were unique and fun - June 17th will be here before you know it so you better start thinking.

 The mini speaker plugs into an iPhone or iPod and can rock on for up to four hours long. 

Make Your Own Whiskey Kithttp://www.binnys.com/spirits/Age_Your_Own_Whiskey_Kits_by_Woodinville_Whiskey_Company_197952.html

What do you think of those ideas? Make some whiskey as you rock out to your favorite tunes from your microphone speaker. (my 2 favorites) Although I'm really tempted to order Backyard Bocce since I've never played. We use to love playing horseshoes so this might be a fun replacement. Anyway, I'll throw in a couple of ideas and Father's Day recipe's each day up until the big day.

Happy Monday - Smile!

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...
I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
