Pinterest 5 - All For Your Dad!

Father's Day is coming up this weekend and I'm broke.

Not even gonna lie, girl.

I'm broke.

If I didn't have bills to pay and gas to buy then I may have something all worked out but I don't and that hurts my feelings.

Please note: I did tell my hubby that he would be getting a gift in July instead of June for this day to celebrate his role as a dad.

Also, I do have a nice plan for Father's Day.  Since he has been working like crazy lately the kids and I are going to grill out on Saturday for him *if he's off work* and on Sunday they are going to hang out with Nana while the spouse and I go on a canoe trip.

So see...I may be broke but I'm thinking ahead and planning!

This was also the topic of my Pinterest 5 search this week...

Father's Day...when you're financially limited.

1 - Beer Coasters - Because your dad is still 22?  If you're dad is living alone then heck yeah.  From a female's perspective - no.  My only exception is if they are meant to be pulled out for football watching parties and cooking out.  Otherwise, no thanks Pinterest.  

2 - Cute

I really like this probably because I have two younger kids and it fits my husband to a T.  If you're awaiting a paycheck you can probably pull this together for less than $5.  It is the thought that counts.

3 - Sweet toothed dad

My dad loves sweets but he says he doesn't now so whatever.  My husband hates sweets but loves to grill like most dudes (total assumption but I have met a lot of men that love to grill in my life.)  I thought these cupcakes were a cute way to celebrate the dad who is also the king of the grill.

4 - A card that made me smile.

I love all the shirts that have a little cooler on them and say - Don't hate me because I'm a little cooler.  I laugh every time.  Now this play on words has me smiling!  I know several men who are fixated on lawn mowers so this is just too cute and your kids could make it!

5 - Pinterest is so smart.

When I type in Fathers Day Gifts no money I get this.  And yes it is neat how it is a key chain with all these cool screwdriver ends and a bottle opener but it is also $20+ and then you figure in shipping.  I do like this and all but we will hold on to it for a little while longer.

So what is your go-to when your pay check is a week away and the day for dad's is in thirty minutes?  And what is your sweet fella getting this year from you?  Share away sweeties!
