Trying to be the loving son that I am I decided to do something extra special for my dad this Father’s day. Usually we follow the norm and celebrate Father’s day by gathering the whole family together for a cook out. But this Father’s day is a little different because all the kids are out of the house and no one gets to visit with Dad as often as they use to.

Because we all miss dad unconditionally we decided to put our money together and purchase him something he can treasure and help remimnd him how much we truly appreciate everything he has done for us.

We went with purchasing a plaque and getting an image engraved on it. The plaque looking very sleek yet personalized, ended up being a beautiful cheery wood that matched all the cherry furniture in the house. We engraved a beautiful scripture along with an illustration of our family crest to create the custom-made feel.

Although the gift was very simple and affordable the meaning and thought made it worth a million bucks.

Lolly Pop Soccer!

Being a young mother comes with a lot of responsibilities. My little boy Gabriel is 6 years old and participated in his first soccer league this year! I couldn’t believe how well he did; he is definitely a natural born athlete! Of course all moms say that.

Being a full time, single parent and volunteering to provide concessions, uniforms, and trophies was a real delight and challenge to me. But through all of the stress and running around I was pleased to know Gabe had a great time. The kids accomplished 2nd place in the league because they played their little hearts out. What better way to say congratulations than to give each child a special trophy. I ended up getting the little rascals gold soccer bobble head trophies they could cherish and enjoy. The fun bouncy head and young demeanor was perfect for their playful personalities. Although the trophies were fun and playful they will be treasured trophies as well!

When it came time to present the trophies the kids went crazy! They talked amongst themselves about how cool the trophies were, how much they loved the bobbing heads, and each kid claimed the little resin figure looked like them. Everyone was overjoyed and thanked me for my enthusiasm by preseting me with a stylish soccer shadow box plaque along with electing me to do it all again next year.  I was thrilled!
