Way to go Old Navy!

I'm so thrilled to hear that next Monday Old Navy is launching a line of rainbow-themed Pride shirts. Four designs will be available in sizes for men, women & babies!

And it gets even better! Old Navy will donate 10% of the proceeds to the It Gets Better Project, an amazing effort to encourage the world to speak up against hate & intolerance! Awesome!

No other retailer has stepped up until now & I truly hope others take notice! Make a stand in favor of love and show off your rainbow!

Daddyland Coupon Book

What a fun & creative gift for Father's Day!

I'm probably showing my (old) age, but early childhood memories of trips to Disneyland involved the use of E Tickets. I always feel a little nostalgic when I see them.

So I was giddy when I saw that Disney Family has put together an awesome retro set of "Daddyland" printable coupons. Just download, print & staple. Easy peasy & sure to make every Dad smile! Get the FREE printables HERE!

Happy Friday!

Couldn't have said it better!
Have a fabulous weekend!
