Happy Dad Day

posted on: Sunday, June 19, 2011

My Dad is a real cowboy.
His wardrobe consists of a plethora of cowboys hats, cowboy boots, long sleeve pearl snap shirts, and wranglers.
He's the kind of guy that is up at five every morning to do chores, ride horses, chase cows, and fix fence.
He's the last one in the house at night and when he walks through the front door he has always put in a honest day of hard work. 
He's the kind of Dad that believes in tough love. When we cried he told us to, "buck it up." When we got hurt, "It's far from your heart." When it came to summer vacation he thought it was best that we work everyday and not watch tv.
He is also the kind of Dad that cried when we left for college, bragged to everyone when we accomplished something amazing, and expected more then the best from us each and everyday.
He's also the kind of Dad that is not afraid to embarress his kids in public when he rides a cow in the local Fourth of July parade.

Happy Father's Day Dad!

And what would Father's Day be like if I didn't give a shout out to..
the peanut butter to my jelly
the salt to my pepper
the left to my right
the ying to my yang
the mac to my cheese
the nail to my hammer
the bacon to my eggs
the black to my white
the burger to my fries
the rock to my roll
the spaghetti to my meatball
the bread to my butter....

Happy Father's Day Hunk! You are a rock star Poppa!

It's suppose to snow tonight. Yes, tonight, as in June 16th.

'nuf said.

Remember when I use to do giveaways every week? Yeah I remember those days too.  I guess I have kind of been preoccupied with the warm weather (minus tomorrow) and my need to give my white legs some lovin.  

I hope summer is gracing you with some great opportunities to get outside, and if so, how about completing those adventures with a new bag from More Than Momma?

Life is Better with Spunk

How did  last week's challenge turn out?

Did you buy something that you desperately wanted but didn't really need?

I am really not trying to get you in trouble, I just think every now and then we need to reward ourselves--even if it is something small.

I have been wanting a new pair of sandals so I set out to find the perfect pair, and man oh' man did I score. These fine babies got broken in within the first day.

********************

For this week's challenge find some way to participate in your community. Go to a free concert, visit a museum, help with a disaster, go to a farmers market, watch a parade, check out a rodeo, buy locally, volunteer your time---the ideas are endless when it comes to gettting involved in your neighborhood or community.


There are many resources out there to tell you what is going on in your area. Make sure to check out your local newspaper, news stations, Chamber of Commerce, community visitor's center, and radio to find out what events are happening. Another amazing resource may be your local community calender which highlights activities for both adults and youth!

How did last week's challenge turn out? What did you end up buying?
