Life at a "Swell's" pace

We had a great Father's Day weekend here at our house. Skylar and I spent the day putting together Father's Day goodies jars for Papa (my dad), Grandpa (Jeff's dad), and John. Jeff's was a bit different and given to him right away, but the others had to be mailed or driven to the others. Everyone loved their goodies jars, but John won't get his until he gets here in September. We waited so we could take it on our trip back to Arkansas and munch on it on the way.

You can make these labels too with the printable through Popsicle Blog HERE! Or click here to get the PDF file to print right away!

Jeff got a large spatula as a Father's Day gag gift, but it backfired on Skylar and me because he actually really liked it. Ha!

To this kid, the guy is super dad!

Happy Father's Day!

Eco-Tip: Remember hand-made gifts go a lot further with appreciation than store bought gifts. For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me: Go Green.

This Flower. This Drink.

Because it's the last tulip in the flowerbed still holding on. And this drink because it made this little boy's day.

This Picture. These Chickens.

Because Skylar drew it for me. And these chickens because they were pretty and white.

This Symbol. These Words.

Because it's the symbol for OM and I love it. And these words for the fact that the public school system for Skylar is over for awhile.

This Envelope. This Picture.

Because it traveled all the way from Latvia. And this picture because it rocks.

These Clothes. This Drink.

Because Skylar made it look as if he vanished into thin air. And this drink because it was a big let down that they put my hot latte in a Styrofoam cup. Who does that?

This Sewing Machine. These Poppies.

Because I let it go. And these poppies because they are every where right now.

This Craft.

Because it was fun to make.

This Clover.

Because I looked really hard to find one with four leaves.

This Sign.

Because it's hanging in my living room and I just adore it.

This Camping Gear.

Because it's awesome!

This Bumper Sticker. This Drink.

Because it made me laugh. And this drink because it was tasty.

This Mirror.

Because someone broke it and it got replaced with a better one.

These Shrimp.

Because they were yummy and the perfect addition for a get together we had recently.

Eco-Tip: This summer be sure and regulate the sprinkler system at your home. Remember, only 2-inches of water is needed to water the grass each day. Anymore than that and it's a waste. For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
