#SundayFunday


Why not invite friends, and family, over today - or to a park - and play some games that don't require electricity or wifi? There's a million ideas out there for games to play with toddlers all the way up to adults. Between Google and Pinterest you won't hurt for ideas. Choose a variety of games and activities that include staying dry and getting wet (it is August after all!) plus some games for the shade and those humans - big and little - who like to do some low key things.

If you can do s'mores that's always a win, so are frozen treats like ice cream cones and popsicles, and make sure you have lots of water to keep everyone hydrated. If you decide to extend the get together into a meal time then invite everyone to bring their own meat and assign everyone a side dish or dessert to bring to share with everyone.

I find that some of the best and most fun get togethers I have ever been to have been spontaneous ones so don't put too much planning into this #SundayFunday, just go with the flow and have fun!

Join TOMS One for One There is plenty of criticism out there for TOMS and its short term solutions. Critics don't even buy the "at least they are doing something" statement.  However, you have to start somewhere. And every bit of awareness helps something go from short term to long term.  We all have a part to play. Read a Road Map Day One of the many reasons I would stink at The Amazing Race is because I never did learn how to read a road map well.  I remember doing worksheets and class lessons on maps and I was able to skate by ...

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
