Are you looking for a great gift for Dad? TJ Maxx and Marshalls are the PERFECT place to look.Offering savings of up to 60% less on designer merchandise than department and specialty stores but with the same great quality…you just can’t go wrong! And they have something for every dad, no matter how hard he is to buy for.
For the “Techie” Dad: If dad is always in search of the newest gadgets, why not pick up some great accessories to pair with them. Get some MP3 add-ons like speakers, headphones or a leather carrying case to make his music listening experience a special one. You can also grab some fun laptop and office supplies that can make work more enjoyable. TJ Maxx and Marshalls both offer tons of gadgets to choose from, after all, who doesn’t love gadgets and gizmo’s?
For the “Sports Enthusiast”: For the sports fanatic in your life purchase some apparel from his favorite sports team so he can showcase his pride. You can complete the package with a new pair of brand-name sneakers. And look, they also have balls, gloves, golf bags, and bags to throw all their favorite gear in
For The Gourmet Chef Fanatic: With summer right around the corner help get him prepared with grilling tools and unique spices. A new recipe book and apron will guarantee a summer full of tasty treats. Or even a new saute pan which always comes in handy. I use mine on the stove top, in the oven and on the grill.
For the “Beach Bum”: If dad is happiest at the beach, help him update those faded swim trunks and worn out flip flops with brand new beach gear. Add in a beach towel and a pair of designer shades to complete the look.
Or, maybe Dad needs some Joe…you will just have to decide which kind:

I also received a $25 gift card…and let me tell you, $25 will go a long way in TJ Maxx. I walked away with a pair of shorts, a polo shirt and a pair of Panama Jack flip-flops for my guy. Oh shoot, I wasn’t supposed to tell that just yet. Oh well, I know ya’ll won’t spill the beans.

This little country gal went and spent the weekend in the big city…and she had a ball! You may say Atlanta, but here in the south it is pronounced as Atlanna.

We stayed at the Country Inns and Suites on Windy Hill and when we arrived we were welcomed and treated like princesses. The staff was phenomenal. We had a large suite on the top floor of the hotel that included a sitting room with a small kitchenette, a bed room, 2 bathrooms, etc.

We had a bag of goodies waiting on us that included popcorn, candy, chocolate, sodas and fruit.

This is Sherry. We LOVED Sherry. She was always so helpful and kind and has the sweetest smile.

This is Madjid. He was so cute and bless his heart, he tolerated us and chauffered us around like he loved us. We had so much fun with Madjid even though he probably thought us crazier than loons. He took us to Cumberland Mall and when we pulled up the first thing we see is this:

Valet parking at the mall! Who knew? It really blew our mind.

This happened to be our favorite store in the mall. We shopped and bought goodies in there…but, while we were in there, these ladies had the customer from hades. I felt so sorry for the gals that were running the store. They tried over and over to explain a policy to the customer and she was just obstinate and rude. I wasn’t even involved in the mess and I felt humiliated by the woman. The precious gals who kept their head…

I admire these young ladies…cause I would have lost my temper with the customer from heck. AND, they helped us pick out some really great purses!

This is Susan, she went with me to Atlanta to Refresh and Retreat. We would like to send out a BIG Thank You to Country Inns and Suites for providing us with such a great room to spend our girls weekend out in! Day 2 coming soon!

Yesterday my sister came over, we had planned a day of making cake pops with all of the kids. Even my niece was here, home from college. So, all the kids gathered around the trusty old island in the center of my kitchen and proceeded to delve in the fun. Everyone but my grumpy old man, Smartypants. I swear that kid acts like he is 80 years old most of the time. He is truly the grumpy old man of our family. See, let me show you:
Now, we have the rest of the bunch. Enjoying their time together, relishing in the festivities of the day:
Then we have a surprise….a funny guy after all:
It is so nice to see that he can be a character after all. He is the one who staged this, unbeknowst to me till after I had snapped the picture. It was quite funny.
Here are the after pictures, lots of fun was had regardless of how the cake pops turned out. However, this will not be something we untertake again. One year we made candy ornaments out of lifesavers, that one turned out pretty good…these are a mess, they are time consuming and after awhile…tedious to the point everyone lost interest. We will just hve to see what we can come up with for next year.
So, that was my day yesterday, spent with all the kids and my sister, involved lots of fun and chocolate..AND, even a trip to shop at the tent. Yeah, Hicktown has a tent that has all kinds of goodies available. So, I had to give my sister that experience. Perhaps she will blog about it. Nothing like tent shopping in Hick Town to make Christmas complete.
