Playdate Planning for Dads


From Our Friends at Playdate Planet

Playdate Planning for Dads

 

Dads do it all these days, from diapering to day care drop-offs, but I’ve noticed that there’s one area that many dads still seem to avoid: the dreaded Social Calendar. Granted, I’m sure there are lots of exceptions, but in my household and the households of almost all of my friends, it’s the woman who wields the telephone and schedules playdates.

 

I’m not sure whether this is a relic of gender-based roles, a result of the common male distaste for the ...

Awakenings Healing Touch Therapeutic Massage

 Massage 101: Questions you always had about massage, but were afraid to ask!

This is for all of you who for one reason or another have never had a massage (hard to believe!). I’d like to clarify some things and dispel some common myths about massage therapy. 

 

Before delving into some more serious topics, let’s get this one out of the way…Probably the NUMBER ONE burning question about massage therapy that women clients will shyly ask is “Is it ok if I didn’t shave my legs ...


One Sweet Cookie (Cake) Review


Looking for a custom cake or delicious party treats? I have a GREAT SUGGESTION!


When my sweet baby girl Peyton turned 6 this past month I was curious to try out our newest advertiser, One Sweet Cookie.   I needed a cake and a cake fit for my princess!



All reviews I had read and comments about One Sweet Cookie were incredibly positive and always left me hungry after reading them!  Everyone cruelly talks about how delicious her cakes are and I always leave her site with my mouth watering angry that I can't have a piece at that moment.  * pout!*

Needless to say ...

Look below for the coolest of the cool Father's Day traditions and ideas.


"Man Flowers"


As Seen on KDKA!

Supplies:

Container for flowers:  I chose a lunch size cooler but a regular pot or even an ice bucket would work too.

Floral foam

Bamboo Skewers

Smaller sized BBQ items such as brushes, marinades, spices, etc.

Crinkled Paper to cover the floral foam


 
Step 1:  Gather small and somewhat light weight items for your “flowers”. 
Step 2: Tape the item to a bamboo skewer… making sure to put the pointed part at the bottom and the item near the top.


 Step 3:  Cut the foam to fit into your container ...

Following in Daddy's Footprint


As seen on KDKA's Pittsburgh Today Live

Looking for a tug-at-the-heartstrings-and-easy-to-do-craft?????

Well, you found it!


This is super easy and fun to do!

All you need is some paint and paper and a frame!

We used 12x12 scrapbooking paper.  Choose something light or white is great as well.

Then find some shoes with tread that covers the shoe.  That sounds like a dumb thing to say but trust me...you don't have as many as you may think!

Lightly paint the bottom of the shoe (think stamp not paint), then press it onto the paper.  Keep ...

Footsteps and Candy Craft


As Seen on KDKA!

My husband is an amazing Father that I also wrack my brain to try to come up with something that will show him how much we appreciate all he does for his family!

My mission was to capture my kids wearing their Dad’s shoes!  These aren’t just any shoes though… my husband was in the Army and served ...

Perfectly Precious Picture for Pop
