Father’s Day Shaving Cream Art Luggage Tag

June 17, 2015 By Jennifer Leave a Comment

Hello! Jennifer from Satsuma Designs here and very excited to be back at Just Us Four blog – thank you Shannah! At Satsuma Designs, I create Seattle-made baby products and content that help make caring for kids as easy as child’s play. Click here for a fun offer to help your kiddos thrive!

Do your kids have Father’s Day gifts all wrapped up? If they’re like mine, they’ve made a cute card at school, but want to have something to wrap up for Dad to give him on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 21st. I thought it would be a fun pun to use Dad’s shaving cream to make art, add a special note and create a laminated luggage tag that he can take on the road with him or wrap around his briefcase to take a little visual reminder of how much he’s loved everywhere he goes. Here’s how your kids can make a Father’s Day shaving cream art luggage tag.

This is a two-part post with the second part of the story over at Satsuma Designs. Here I’ll teach you how to make the art and at Satsuma Designs, I’ll show you how to create the personalized luggage tag to give Dad on Father’s Day.

Braised Pork Sandwich with Jicama Kale Slaw

June 11, 2015 By Shannah Coe 1 Comment

I am excited to work with Williams-Sonoma to bring you this recipe. As always, while this post is sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Father’s Day is in just a few weeks. I’ve been trying to decide what to do for Mathlete {besides sending him off flying for the day} and I instantly thought of a picnic. We did one at a local winery for Mother’s Day and it was great. One of our wineries has also opened a brewery on the property and I know Mathlete would love checking out some of the beers they offer. Of course, if we are going on a picnic, we are going to need food to take. I wanted to skip our regular choices {like balsamic chicken sandwiches} and I saw some braising sauces made with craft beers at a recent shopping trip and instantly knew I wanted to make a braised pork sandwich with jicama kale slaw.

Pineapple “Butter” Cake – Making Substitutions

June 14, 2013 By Shannah 35 Comments

I am so excited to be working with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and Country Crock for a series of posts. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Unilever.

Father’s Day is this weekend…yes, I know, it came up crazy fast!  I started prepping for Father’s Day last month so the holiday wouldn’t sneak up on me like it has in the past.   Plus, I wasn’t sure when exactly my knee surgery would be so I wanted to ensure Mathlete got a proper celebration.
I love to cook and, well, Mathlete loves to eat so I wanted make him a delicious meal that I knew he would enjoy and that featured one of his favorite things: pineapple.  His love for pineapple runs  so deep that he will actually order the fruit cups for the kids at restaurants just so he can eat their pineapple.  He is in trouble if they ever develop a love for it!

We started with pineapple teriyaki burgers and finished with some delicious pineapple “butter” cake for dessert.

{A Glimpse} Prepping for Father’s Day

May 31, 2013 By Shannah 1 Comment

I am so excited to be working with I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter and Country Crock for a series of posts. This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Unilever.

Father’s Day is approaching so quickly!  In between now and then, I also have end of school parties for both kids and a lot of work at the regular job.  I also found out that I will be having knee surgery in June so Father’s Day may be spent with me on crutches which would seriously limit my ability to do much!  So, I’m starting my preparations early and we’re going to have an early Dad’s day celebration for Mathlete!

Father’s Day Tool Wreath

May 20, 2013 By Shannah 19 Comments

Dads are special people.  Mine {especially before I was married} was my go to for any kind of fix it related question.  In my mind, he could/can build/fix/design anything I could/can envision.  These days, I may go to Mathlete first but I often chat with my dad about any project too.  There have definitely been many a phone call from me to him while I am standing in the middle of a Lowe’s aisle.
So, of course, a plain old gift or decoration just won’t do to recognize him on Father’s Day.  Instead, I combined the gift and decoration into one
