Father's Day

I hope all the Dad's out there had a great Father's Day! I'm thankful for the wonderful Dad's in my life who are super special grandfathers and for the wonderful husband I have who is #1 Dad to our three children (see the tie Katherine made in the picture:) and the best hubby too!


Grandfathers Are Fathers Who Are Grand

Grandfathers are fathers who are grand,
Restoring the sense that our most precious things
Are those that do not change much over time.
No love of childhood is more sublime,
Demanding little, giving on demand,
Far more inclined than most to grant the wings
Allowing us to reach enchanted lands.
Though grandfathers must serve as second fathers,
Helping out with young and restless hearts,
Each has all the patience wisdom brings,
Remembering our passions more than others,
Soothing us with old and well-honed arts.

That's partially why I haven't posted blogs in a while because this definitely keeps me busy, but I guess is well worth it! I use to just clip a few coupons, head to the store, and be so excited when I'd save $15-20 in one trip. (If you're interested in knowing the money-saving blogs I follow, let me know and I'll forward them to you!) Anyways, OldNavyWeekly.com hides several coupons on there each week (usually reloads on Thursdays) and a big coupon on there is $75 off $100 purchase. I tried last week to get it and even stayed up til 2 a.m. trying, but no luck (I really enjoy the challenge:). Last night, I tried at 8 p.m. and found they reloaded...

Just Because...

Yesterday Daniel surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of red roses...just because!:) And after having stayed up late last night, this morning when I woke up, there was a pot of Starbuck's coffee made with a sweet note! And if you know how much Daniel detests coffee (he calls it poison:), then you'll understand how big of a deal this is:) Thanks hun!
