This Father's Day, my husband asked for mulch...
not glamorous...but totally practical...
and I think by asking for mulch,
he's also looking for extra helping hands to
put all that mulch out... so we know what we'll
be doing this Sunday afternoon. By 4 PM we will
only too happy to sip a root beer float
after a hard day's work.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads, and granddads this
June 16th...including my very own mulch-loving
husband and my dad (the kid's grandpa)...being a dad or
a granddad, it's an important job...and they do it well.

What are your Father's Day plans??
It's probably better than putting out mulch!!

TIES for Fancy Root Beers
For any of the printables...whether it's a cute S'more's menu or sheet of Dad's day ties for your root beer, simply save the image to your computer and print the size you'd like. It's my treat!!
All the cute tie printables are just below. Print them as 5x7 size on card stock to get the same size you see pictured. By printing the 5x7 size, you can get four "ties" per page. Print one set as an 8x10 large version if you choose to go the two-liter root beer route...obviously you'll want a bigger tie!!
These ties are super cute crafts for the kids and grand-kids!!
S'mores for a crowd is below too... no shame in
recycling an awesome idea for feeding a crowd.

Father's Day Dessert Ideas on FOX19
(Original Post 2018)
Hello June!!
...and just like that we are off and
running --a brand new month is here!!
Oh, June,
I do hope we can slow the pace down a bit...
May had me on my toes...sprinting!
You'll never guess what caused
me to burn some of our dinner last night...
hint: It's in the photo below.
Did you guess the S'more??
If you did... you were 100% correct.
I was taking
way too many close ups of this
cute little s'more...and
I lost track of the time...
Who takes photos of S'mores??
Maybe just me...ha.
Luckily... we had dinner on the grill too
and in the microwave...
So, I only burned a small bit of our dinner.
Besides, we had plenty of S'mores...
So, we would have been well fed.
Welcome to viewers from
Fox 19 Morning News...
on this first Friday of June,
So happy for you to visit the blog.
Since it's June...
Father's Day this year will be
Sunday, June 18...
The good news is we have plenty
of time to get ready...
Today on the Fox 19 Morning Now Show
I shared two fun ideas for Father's Day:
A Brownie Peanut Butter Pie...
THE perfect ending to a Father's Day cookout.
The recipe is located at the end of this post.
I also had the pleasure of sharing the S'mores Bar
A really sweet way to treat a crowd to a fun dessert.
We have the occasional neighborhood
S'more's party in
our backyard.
Here's a look at the spread from a few
summer's ago...
Good times...
I wrote a blog post on the S'mores Party
and if you are putting
one on, I wrote a list of the best tips to
keep your party running smoothly...
Truly the BEST TIPS ever...
Before you
do a S'mores Party...take it from me,
it's a great
idea to read up on all the
pointers for a non-sticky event!!
Really clever ways to keep the party
a S'more than wonderful production!!
I promise, using my tips will make a the
S'mores Bar a more relaxing time for all you
hostesses with the motesses...
(aka: Learn from my previous mistakes)
No one wants sticky marshmallow hands...
singed clothing or melted chocolate bars...
(been there, done that)
with a little preparation...
your party will be a smashing success.
You can read about the tips and
our neighborhood party here:
ALL THE BEST TIPS: click here: S'mores Party Best Tips
All these fun ideas will be a snap... because
I am sharing all the
cute printable tags!
Just for you!!...
and just in time for
Father's Day!!
For the Father's Day S'more Bar...
The sky is the limit.
Truly.
You can create whatever kind of s'more you
think your family would love...
Name a s'more after a family member,
include their favorite ingredients so everyone
can makes one!!
Before long the "Uncle Charlie S'more "
will be sweeping the nation...
If I were going to guess that s'more might be:
Graham Cracker + Marshmallow +Fresh Strawberry Slices +White Chocolate
Below I am including a S'more Menu, one that we use,
you are welcome to print it for you very own S'mores Soiree!
A GREAT BONUS TIP:
For a crowd, make your s'mores on a cookie sheet!!
In the OVEN!!!
I know, right...
Is this not a genius way to make a lot of these???
It's perfect for a rainy day or a really big shin-dig.
Just be sure to have all your toppings ready to go when the
warm gooey marshmallows come out
from the oven.
HOW TO: S"MORES IN THE OVEN
I line a rimmed tray with parchment or foil.
Line up the graham crackers on the cookie sheet.
Place 1 (one) marshmallow on each graham cracker
Bake at 350 for 4-5 minutes or until
your marshmallows are golden, toasty and puffed.
Add desired toppings and a top graham cracker....Taaa Daaa...
S'mores forever... easily made and quickly eaten.
(Use caution...they will be very warm)
How easy!!
I created a few cards to match all the S'more party fun.
There are a few versions and a blank card...
feel free to print them off for your own use.
How to Print:
Simply copy and save the image
to your computer and
then print from home. (Be sure you have enough ink)

in Cincinnati the first Friday of
