Inspired Living for Mommas
Sunday afternoon was pretty memorably spent at the race track, watching the horses racing, followed by a visit to the stables. Johannes spent all of Sunday and the previous day declaring to anyone and everyone who would listen how he would ride the big horses, but when it came down to it he preferred to wave to them from afar.
Now we are sick…both of us. A fun week ahead!
My idea of the perfect gift for Father’s Day is one that’s useful, thoughtful and has a hint of humor to it. When I saw this vintage ammunition box I instantly thought about filling it with lots of goodies as a Father’s Day gift and once I started collecting the little goodies to fill it with, I couldn’t help but think how great it would be as a “daddy survival kit”.
You can make this gift yourself with any box, basket or wooden pallet. Pick a series of items that would speak to the daddy in your life: a book, yummy edible goodies, tickets to a movie or sporting event, locally sourced craft beer of smoked charcuterie, fun trinkets and some swag. Line the container with a fun colorful paper, fill it up and make a tag to go with it {Michael’s has some great plain tags you can design as you see fit}. The fun thing about this gift, is that you can customize it as you wish. Pick a theme or go with a mish-mash of items, there is no way to mess this up.
Have you seen the second part of this super funny video? You can watch part 1 here. Actor, and dad, Matthew Clarke tells the Vancouver Sun, ”These things happen all the time, you have these interactions with other humans and the only reason they’re acceptable is because they’re so little. And if they are adults it is creepy and hilarious and awkward.”

I’m a little bit obsessed with tee pees, especially white ones. This fascination probably stems from nostalgia and the desire to live vicariously through my toddler. But regardless of what the source of inspiration is, I am determined to spend as much time as possible playing with our tee pee in the back yard.
Do you have a tee pee for your littles?
