Homemade Tie for Dad

May 22, 2013momstownRecessNo commentsactivities, activities for kids, dads, Father's Day, fathers, gift ideas, gifts, grandparents

What my son doesn’t know is that his Daddy kept a supply of ties in his desk at work and that he really only wore his creation for the car ride. It doesn’t really matter the length of time that the tie was worn at all, because I can assure you that both of them were beaming with pride each morning.
