My Obsession Monday:Father's Day Gift

Hey y'all,

I am incredibly excited to have over 50 followers now! I never thought I would have so many after re-starting my blog in May. Thank you so much for reading along on my random adventures. Currently this post-grad is still working retail, living with her parents and enjoying a day off. YAY!

So without further ado, I am currently obsessed with my gift to Dr. Dad. For Father's Day I had been asking my mother what my Daddy wanted and she said that there really wasn't anything he was asking for so I had to be creative. I was running around on Friday afternoon before work and at Marshall's I found three pairs of flats for me but no gift for Daddy. Therefore, it was into Michael's next door.

I decided to give my Daddy a "Dad's Favorite's Things" basket. The basket was on sale at Michael's so I started to think of things my Dad loves and found some wooden letters to spell out the word DAD as well.

Wooden Letters+Paint=perfection.

The Final Product.

Whoppers:Dad's Favorite Chocolate Candy
Spice Drops: Dad's Favorite Candy
Goldfish: Dad's Favorite Snack
Dunkin Doughnuts Coffee: Dad's Favorite Coffee
Caramel Cashew Trail Mix(Target): Best Snack EVER
DAD Letters
*Not Shown: Card
*Ben & Jerry's Greek FroYo in Raspberry Chocolate Chunk. My Dad loves Raspberries and Ben &Jerry's so it was perfect and was in the freezer with a bow on it.

I thought this was the perfect gift for my Dad and he could grab the basket and take it to work as pick-me ups throughout the day.

What are you obsessed with this week?

Peace and Blessings,

Happy Father's Day, Dr. Dad

Hey y'all,

It is now Father's Day so I am wishing all fathers out there a spectacular day to remember all the great things that you do. An especially big shout out goes to Dr. Dad or Daddy-Daddy as I call him. I am blessed with a wonderful pair of parents and my father is one of the most important people in my life and I know whenever I find the perfect husband he for sure will need to pass Daddy's expectations.

My Dad has taught me so much over the years including everything a girl needs to know about football, how to make perfect pancakes, an appreciation for art especially European churches, to love the US of A and appreciate all the military members fighting for our freedom, that education is very important, to have a sense of humor with life, NASCAR is a sport, that he knows every disease on Grey's Anatomy before they figure it out but will still watch it with me, and what to look for in a great guy AND SO MUCH MORE.

So here is to you Daddy Daddy! HAPPY FATHER's DAY!
