Father’s Day is this weekend. Guys are so difficult to shop for. The most popular gifts for men end up being a tie or tools. Just how many ties can one guy have, especially if he does not need them for work attire? Do not most men already have their collection of tools, and want to go to Home Depot themselves to pick out the latest and greatest must-haves.

Now is a great time to think outside of the box. Think about repurposing to create unique gifts.

Take out those old unworn ties in the back of the closet.

Make them into a nice quilt or pillow to give your man as a useful décor item.

An old tie can be refashioned into a useful wallet

bitrebels.com

With his new pillow or wallet, present dad with a brand new tie to help replace the outdated ones that you have used for your creation.

Old tools that have been handed down, or are just not functional anymore, can be repurposed into artwork.

Your man might have a beautiful tool from his grandfather that has been sitting around.

Have tools reconditioned and framed for the wall. Tools can be used as wonderful art pieces. Now dad will have a one-of-a-kind piece of art that he can show off and keep as a memento.

Happy Father’s Day to all of the Dads, Granddads, Stepdads, and anyone else who has stepped up to be a father to someone. Thank you for being there. Never be afraid to dance!

A Mother never steps backwards

inspiration, mothers day

Once you are a Mom you never step backwards. You don’t want to take a chance by tripping and missing a step in your child’s life.

From the moment I looked into my baby’s cherub face I only looked forward. I cannot believe that was over seventeen years ago.

I looked forward to her first gurgle.

Then I looked forward to her first word.

I remember the first time she held her bottle and looked forward to her feeding herself.

She was sitting in a high chair for the first time and I looked forward to her crawling.

As she started crawling and I looked forward to her walking.

At 10 months she made her first best friend and I looked forward to her having a lifetime filled of best friends.

At one year old she started to walk all by herself into an exciting future.

The first year marks the beginning of so many firsts that a Mom never forgets.

Our children are a reflection of how we parent.

I have taught my child the importance of working hard for what you believe, to be kind and generous, and to give back and give forward. Most important, I have taught her to never be afraid to dance!

My daughter has made me a proud Mom with every single step she takes moving forward in life. Even as she grows up into an adult she will always be my little girl.
