We took Dad to Bonefish Grill for Father's Day

We celebrated Father's Day a little early this year and took my husband to eat at Bonefish Grill for dinner. I made reservations, for 8PM, earlier in the day and we only had to wait about ten minutes before we were seated---of course we did get there ten minutes early. 

Bonefish Grill is both an elegant and casual dining restaurant; with menu items ranging from steaks to seafood, chowder to salads, and Bang Bang Shrimp that is out of this world!

           

                        

A friend found out that we were going and told my husband that we had to try Bang Bang Shrimp (pictured above), so we ordered two of them to split between the six of us. We loved it! Priced at only $9.70, it is very affordable and I guarantee you your taste buds will be very happy!

Next, we had the Corn Chowder with Lump Crab; it was creamy, and as you can see had several pieces of lump crab on top that we mixed into the chowder. I highly recommend their chowder!

My husband had the rib-eye, with their garlic mashed potatoes; while I opted for the delicious crab cakes and a salad for my meal. The sunflower seeds on this salad added a different texture and taste from any other salad that I have had at other restaurants. For those of you that know me, know that I am not an olive person, but I did try the olives on this salad---and I am still not an olive person!

Our waitress, Tristan, was very friendly and helpful. I ordered everything from her recommendations. She is a twin, which was kind of neat, because we have twins. 

Bonefish Grill is very affordable and they even offer a "Specials" only menu that has lobster tail for only $8.70! I think I might have been drooling a bit over the lady's lobster tail, sitting the next table over from us!

If you cannot make it to Bonefish Grill with your dad this Father's Day, go tomorrow or next month. And if you live across the miles, send him a Bonefish Grill gift card.

Happy Father's Day to the 'best dad' that my children could have!

Edible Arrangements {Great Father's Day Gift} Just ask my Family!

Our family received the All Star Dad Celebration Edible Arrangements to review for Father's Day. This is the first time that our family has ever tried an Edible Arrangement.

This has been one of the hardest items to stay out of until Dad got home. I told my teens that we were not opening it until daddy got home tonight. So I put it in the refrigerator for the rest of the day!

In all honesty, it was me that was struggling to stay out of it. The fruit kept calling my name...okay, okay, so did the chocolate, but I was good and waited until my husband got home.

It was late, before he got home and our teens were already gone, so I went ahead and showed it to my husband and we made the executive decision to open while the kids were gone---just to look at the arrangement more closely, you know, to see what all was included!

And for a few minutes, we did look at all the fruit and chocolate covered fruit; this arrangement came with Cantaloupe Wedges, Grapes, Honeydew Wedges, Pineapple Stars, Semisweet Chocolate Dipped Apple Wedges with White Swizzle, Strawberries and star shaped brownies ( or so we first thought!).

Too yummy to wait for the kids!

My husband made the first move and went for a semisweet chocolate dipped apple wedge. I was close behind him; and while I prefer milk chocolate, this semisweet chocolate apple wedge was very good!

Remember those star-shaped brownies that I mentioned earlier---well, we soon found out that they were actually star-shaped chocolate covered pineapples!

 I would have never thought to cover a pineapple in chocolate, the kids loved it, so I will have to try this sometime in the future!

Guess what? Kids are home and it's time to devour the arrangement--literally! My husband's favorite were the strawberries and the chocolate covered apples. My favorite was the cantaloupe and honeydew---loved the honeydew!

Someone else liked the apples too!

All good things must come to an end---not really; there are a few pieces of cantaloupe and honeydew left that will make for a great snack tomorrow!

*Happy Father's Day Babe---a little early!*

ToiletTree Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush | Father's Day Gift Idea

I've always heard pros and cons of brushing your teeth with an electric toothbrush verses brushing with a manual toothbrush. For years I have thought that it really doesn't matter as long as your brush your teeth with one or the other!

However, over the years when brushing with both manual and electric, my teeth sure do feel cleaner after using the electronic toothbrush than after using a manual toothbrush.

Recently we were sent the ToiletTree Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush to try and with it came a travel size brush too! I really like the option of optimal plaque removal or a more gentler mode for sensitive teeth and gums. I like that the bristles surround each tooth for overall cleaning.

A few features of the ToiletTree Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush:

• Ergonomical and waterproof design.
• 2 minute auto-timer ensures dentist recommended brushing. 2 brush modes - Clean & Sensitive.
• Brush operates at 8,800 oscillations per minute which helps to remove more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush.
• Unit charges on included recharge station using universal voltage (100-240v)
• BPA-free and FDA approved

My husband has claimed both the full size and travel brush, but I think it's only fair that I get one of them! Right?

I normally think that these electronic tooth brushes are expensive, but right no on AMAZON they are priced at only $39.95 {was $99.95!}. And with Father's Day approaching quickly, the ToiletTree Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush will make for a great gift!

Canvas4Life | Father's Day Gift Idea

If you have been wanting to buy a canvas but do not know which company to use, I highly recommend "Canvas 4 Life." I just ordered the above canvas through them for my husband for a Father's Day gift (of days gone by) and the quality is excellent. I love it and even better my husband cannot quit talking about it!

The most difficult thing about the whole process was deciding which picture I wanted to use---normally I would pick a picture of children, but decided to go with this race car picture. The only pictures we have of my husbands race car are snap shots that we took---so I decided to put one on canvas for him.

It was simple to design and didn't take a lot of time either. I'll walk you through the steps if you want to order one:
::Click the “Start your Upload” button

::Upload your photo using the browse or Facebook function

::Select you layout

::Select the size

::Then select your coating preference (uncoated, satin, matte), frame depth (.75” or 1.5”), bleed type (bleed, no bleed, mirror bleed, gallery look, and other effects). Please note that if you are unfamiliar with the terms “bleed” will take some of your image and use it to wrap around the stretcher bars so you’ll lose image on the front of the print. “Mirror bleed” will copy image from the edges of your photo and use that to wrap around the bars so you do not lose image on the front of the print.

::Follow the order process and input your shipping information.

It is that simple!

"Canvas 4 Life" was very prompt with their delivery too. I ordered mine and had it within a few days---not even a week had passed before I received my canvas!

With Father's Day approaching quickly, a canvas of your husband's or dad's favorite photo put on canvas will make for a great gift for Father's Day! Visit Canvas4life.com  to get started with your gift today; plus use promo code FD2014c4Lytcs56 to get 25% off your order. Promo code is good through the end of June.

ToiletTree Toiletry Bag with Travel Accessories--Perfect for the traveling Dad!

ToiletTree Toiletry Bag with Travel Accessories is perfect for the traveling Dad! My husband's old travel bag was just that OLD! So it was time for a new one. The ToiletTree Toiletry Bag was suppose to be for Father's Day, but we went ahead and gave it to him; and by doing so he was able to use it on our vacation last week.

The bag is very roomy, it held everything that my husband needed to take with him which means he didn't have to throw any of his items in my travel bag!

Some features of the bag:

• Designed to organize all of your toiletries while traveling.
• Large double zipper compartment for easy access. Separate zipper compartment located on the bottom of bag.
• Bag comes with 3 TSA approved travel bottles, collapsible cup with pill holder, and toothbrush case.
• Designed with a fully water resistant interior.
• Can also be used as a makeup and/or medicine bag.

Now, that little collapsible cup with pill holder, well, my husband used it for mouth wash! Which he thought was the neatest thing to have a mouth wash cup included with this bag----I, being the wife, didn't tell him any different!

With Father's Day approaching, this Toiletry Bag would be a great Father's Day gift. For a limited time, Amazon has this bag on sale for $24.95 (was 39.95)
