The Kid Blender:  A Single Mom’s Attempt to Find Joy in an Unexpected Life
February 8, 2012 – 8:00 am | 3 Comments

In this series of blogs, the “Kid Blenders,” I will be addressing our challenges, trying to blend our two families together. The names of the children will be changed to spare the easily embarrassed. And let me be upfront about this: I’m no clinical expert. I’m just a single mom trying to figure life out as I go.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas

Sure, we may be Mile High Mamas but we’re all about the Papas in our lives. Disney’s FamilyFun magazine has some great Father’s Day ideas:

A Grate Gift for Dad. This clever trio is a tasty way to honor the King of the Grill on Father’s Day. And who doesn’t love dessert (they’re cupcakes!)?

Formal Greetings. Even if the dad in your house isn’t a shirt-and-tie kind of guy, he’s sure to love this stylish Father’s Day card.

Crafty Computer Frame. We’ve all seen decorative mouse pads, but what about the computer itself? This monitor frame, made from craft foam and dotted with photos of your family, will turn Dad’s home or office computer into a much more colorful — and endearing — place.

Are you an aspiring chef? Make Dad some Hoot Owl Cupcakes, basketball cookies, Bee-bee-cue sauce or Tramp’s sweet dog bones.

Feeling crafty? (And we mean in a good, productive way!) Try making a Cogsworth Air Freshener, Simba’s Father’s Day card, or King Triton’s crown for your King of the Day.

Need more ideas? Try making a Pluto key holder, Daddy Dollars, Uncle Scrooge’s Money Bin, an incredible pop-up card and more!
