Simple Fathers Day Gifts

A Fathers Day rolls around, I would like to add some wondefully simple Fathers Day gifts for daddy!
.
Make a special place mat for Father's Day. Take a piece of plain material and cut it to about the size of a big cereal box. Write: "For the Best Dad" with felt tip markers and put it under his plate as a special surprise.

Make a memory book for dad. Do the same thing as for the big poster board card. Ask a grownup to scan photos of you and your Dad doing things together and print them out. Use plain white paper and fold it in half. Paste all of the pictures on the paper and get a grownup to staple the pages in the middle where they are folded. Remember that if you can't get pictured scanned or don't have any pictures of the best times you have with your father, you can draw the pictures instead.

Make Dad feel special with a Father's Day baseball cap. Use felt tip markers to write or draw on the hat. Good suggestions: "My Dad is # 1" or "World's Best Dad!"

Make a Father's Day shirt for dad to match his cap. Take on of his undershirts - make sure it's clean! - and write or draw on it. You can say the same things as on the hat, or other think of some other special things to say.

Make Daddy a handprint poster. Take a white poster board and frame it with the kids hand/feet prints. Simply dip their hands/feet in finger paint and let them create Voila Daddy will love it!

Welcome All

This is a journey for those who wish to simplify their life. In todays world we run and run and run. Quite often we forget to slow down and take a look around us. We automatically assume that just because its fast and to the point its simple. Well from observations I have made, it's not. Fast and easy are hardley simple, its actually quite complicated. I invite you to join me on my journey to living the simple life. No im not going fanatical. But I am willing to share tips I have learned and share experiences I am going through. I am the mom to 9 very different children. I will share how I have learned to simplify relationships(always hard), simplify discipline, simplify wardrobes.... all of it. I am still learning each day and no its not easy. Please join me on my Journey...............
