Unique gifts for a Cool Summer

Summer is here and it's time to stay cool!

Here's the scoop, with Father's Day this weekend, 

we picked out a unique gift for dad but, if I'm being honest... 

I'll be wearing it too.

It's distinctive, it's gorgeous, fun and it's wood,
just watch for the smiles with this on your wrist.

It looks perfect with polka dots...

chic with a cone...

and stylish as you scoop...

JORD watches pride themselves on creativity, sustainability and efficiency.

As they say, "The value of a watch is not being able to tell how much time has passed, but in being aware of the need to make that time count.  

Moments are bigger than minutes and your watch should tell more than time."

If that is not the coolest motto for summer, I don't know what is!

My friends at JORD are generous too. 

They want you to have a great time this summer and who "woodn't"want that?

Wood Watches by JORD

Grilled Donuts and Coffee Ice Cream

I did it...

I managed to combine 3 of my husband's favorite things,

into one amazing Father's Day dessert.

Coffee, Donuts and Grilling...

Donuts and coffee are a classic combo,

 but when you lightly grill the donuts and serve with coffee ice cream, 

your taste buds will never be the same.

To make these, I sliced glazed and sugar donuts horizontally and buttered the cut side. 

Then cooked them on a grill pan over medium heat for just a minute or two.

(you could also use a bbq)

Serve with your favorite cup of joe ice cream...

and of course you will want to dunk...

but this time it's the coffee ON the donut!

Father's Day Centerpieces

There is nothing Dad wants more on Father's Day 

than a necktie and a round of golf, right?

Well, roll them both up into centerpieces and he'll be thrilled!

Of course you'll wish him a Happy Father's Day...

and tell him he's #1...

You'll want to honor Grandpa too...

and wether you call him Dad, Daddy or Pops, 

you'll be covered.

To make the golf centerpieces, 

you can adhere these Father's Day stickers to flags and tie to dowels.

Then place in potted wheat grass or your favorite arrangement.

The tie centerpiece is simply an inexpensive boy's clip on tie,

 with a dowel placed in the knot on the back and nestled into potted rosemary.
