Ideas for Celebrating Father's Day


Not sure what to do for Father's Day 2023? You can throw dad a pizza party at home, make a Father's Day craft, or make a DIY card, there are plenty of creative things to do for Father's Day. Just check out our list of these top 10 Father's Day ideas.

Trust us, these unique Father's Day ideas will help make celebrating Dad a blast.




  1. Spoil him with breakfast in bed - Mothers aren't the only parent that likes to have breakfast in bed. Whip up his favorite breakfast foods and serve them on a tray with his favorite beverage. 

  2. Conduct an indoor scavenger hunt and watch Dad try to figure out clues around the house, leading up to his present. Organize Zen with Magan has some great ideas.



  3. Have a pizza party - Everyone loves pizza. Make or buy some premade pizza dough and put different toppings in bowls and have Dad and the kids decorate it! Here's a wonderful grilled pizza recipe to try Perfect Grilled Pizza.

  4. Do a blindfolded beer taste test - Go to your nearest grocery store and grab 6 different kinds of beer, varying in style and flavors. Then, blindfold Dad and see if he can guess which one is which! My hubby would love this idea. 

  5. Throw some axes in the backyard - Grab a hatchet and stand back at least 6 feet away from a wooden target or tree trunk. Hold the ax's handle with two hands, wind it up behind your head, and throw it straight to release. Pro tip: Watch YouTube videos to perfect your throwing technique before you start!

  6. Go bowling - Hit up your local bowling alley for some old-fashioned fun.

  7. Play mini-golf - If Dad is a regular Tiger Woods, hit up the local mini-golf course together. 

  8. Take a scenic route - If you are lucky enough to live in an area with mountains, rivers, and canyons, consider taking a long drive instead of hiking. Dad will still get to see the beauty of nature and have some great car ride conversations! 

  9. Visit an arcade - Almost everyone does their gaming at home these days, which is what makes going to the arcade such a blast. He’ll be reminded of his childhood playing pinball, Pac-Man, or another not-so-forgotten favorite.

  10. Go to a sports game It's baseball season! Find a game to attend, whether it's the majors, minors, or just the local softball league playing down the street. A game’s still a game, no matter where it’s played.

Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure Dad will love it.

What do you do for the dad in your life? We'd love to hear from you in the comments below.

Keep it sassy,
Kelly

My Royal Caribbean Cruise


Our son, Christopher, and his wife, Monica, recently took us on a cruise with their two little ones, Diego (5) and Mia (4).  This was a
Royal Caribbean Cruise, which we were on one of their cruises many years ago.  The one thing I found different was that the gratuities were paid in advance.  I liked that.  We gave a small extra tip to our dinner servers and the room steward.  That takes the pressure off everyone.  As you can imagine, all the cruise workers were very nice and helpful.

Leroy and I had an interior room with a double or queen bed (not sure which).  There was room to get around the bed on each side.  There was a love seat and desk area along with a mini fridge.  There was a fairly large closet, room to store luggage under the bed, and the bathroom was small but adequate.

Here are two of the towel animals we found on our bed.  Our guy did not do this every day, but most days we found animal towels.


We had three stops on our weeklong cruise.  The first stop was at Coco Cay, which is an island owned and operated by Royal Caribbean. Who knew they had their own island?   We spent an entire day there.  There was more to the island than we saw.  But we took the kids to a splash area, which they LOVED.  Then Monica found a beach area.  Once Mia landed at the beach that was the end of the exploring.  That girl is a beach baby if there ever was one.   We all had a wonderful day there.  Very relaxing.  There was food there as well, which was all included in our package.  There was also transportation to and from the ship.  Since we were all a little tired, we took the ride back to the ship.  That was a big hit with the kids and the adults did not mind it either.



We basically sailed a day and landed a day.  There was plenty to do aboard the ship.  Swimming at the pool, listening to music, shopping on board, working out at the gym, and just enjoying the view to name a few.  There was a kid’s program on board and Mia and Diego had a blast going to that. 


Our next stop was Jamacia.
  It turned out to be a rainy day.   The four adults went onshore just to shop at the shops.  The kids went to the kid’s club at that time.   We went early before the rain.  We each got some souvenirs.  And yes, the guys found out they paid too much for the rum, but oh well that’s how it goes.  I was able to shop with Monica for her birthday.  She picked out a beautiful pair of earrings with a matching pendant.  We got a deal on some coffee, I got a bathing suit coverup and Leroy got a shirt.  



Our last stop was a fun one with the kids, West Bay, Cayman Islands.   Our dolphin and turtle encounter.  We were not allowed to take pictures of the dolphins, but we got into a tank area with two dolphins.  All six of us got to interact with the dolphins.   That was an experience.  I am so glad Chris made the decision that we should do that.  Once done at the dolphin place, we walked across the street to visit some turtles.  The kids LOVED the Cayman Turtle Center.  There were lots of turtles there and a playground.  We bought lunch there.  Fun for all.



We were on The Explorer of the Seas ship.  There was great food everywhere on the ship.  We had dinner together every night.  Most nights the adults went to see whatever show was playing while the kids enjoyed the kids club.  All in all, it was a great time, as you can see from the pictures.  Memories were made.



I know that the last picture is a little blurry.  Mia moves too much to get a non-blurry picture.  She is so funny.

If this blog doesn’t make you want to take a cruise with your family, nothing will.   I hope you enjoyed learning about our little vacation. 

Have you ever been on a Royal Caribbean Cruise or any cruise for that matter? We'd love to hear about your adventures. Comment below ↓  

Until next time.

                      2. Next, use a large bowl to beat cream cheese, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract.  Use a medium-high speed on the electric mixer for 1 to 2 minutes or until the mixture is airy and light. Spoon mixture into the muffin cups about 2/3 full. 
                      3. Lastly, bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                      4. To make the football strawberries: (no more than 24 hours in advance) Melt chocolate in the microwave according to the package.  Dip each strawberry in the chocolate up to the top of each strawberry.  Set them on a piece of parchment paper and let them dry completely.  Once they are hardened, melt the white candy melts and place them in a piping bag and snip the tip off of the bag to make a very small hole for piping the candy out.  Make the laces on the footballs with this and let them dry completely.  Place each strawberry on top of the refrigerated cheesecakes!  Enjoy!

                      • 1 cup sugar, divided
                      • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
                      • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
                      • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
                      • 1 package (8 ounces) of reduced-fat cream cheese


                        INSTRUCTIONS:

                        1. Preheat oven to 350°. Separate 2 eggs, putting each white in a separate bowl (discard yolks or save for another use). In a small bowl, beat butter and 3/4 cup sugar until crumbly. Beat in the remaining whole egg, 1 egg white, and vanilla until well combined. Combine flour and cocoa; gradually add to egg mixture until blended. Pour into a 9-inch. square baking pan coated with cooking spray.
                        2. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and remaining 1/4 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in the second egg white. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls over the batter; cut through the batter with a knife to swirl.
                        3. Bake until set and edges pull away from sides of the pan, 25-30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

                        BEST Peanut Butter Football Dip Recipe (crazyforcrust.com)

                          INGREDIENTS:

                          • 1/4 cup (57g) butter, softened 
                          • 4 ounces (113g) cream cheese, softened
                          • 1 cup (256g) peanut butter your choice; crunchy or smooth
                          • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
                          • 1 ½ cups (170g) powdered sugar (up to 2 cups if needed)
                          • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
                          • Chocolate sprinkles or chocolate chips for the outside of the football
                          • White chocolate or frosting for the football laces

                            INSTRUCTIONS:

                            1. Cream butter, cream cheese, and peanut butter until mixed (using a hand-held mixer). Mix in vanilla.
                            2. Add powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, and mix until combined. (If you want a stiffer mixture, add the extra ½ cup of powdered sugar.) Mix in chocolate chips.
                            3. Turn out the mixture on a large sheet of waxed paper. Use your hands to form a football shape. 
                            4. Place the waxed paper onto your serving plate. (It helps if the plate has sides…less mess!) Cover in sprinkles or chocolate chips, pressing them into the surface a little so they stick. Pipe on the laces using melted white chocolate or some leftover frosting and chill until ready to serve.
                            5. Serving suggestion: pretzels, animal crackers, cookies, and a spoon.
