The other day, I put my hair up in a messy bun, threw on a blue sweater and jeans with tan Uggs and went into the kitchen, where Zoe, my 16 year old and Tenley, my 11 year old were standing, both sporting messy buns and wearing the exact same thing as me. I offered to change, and they protested, Continue Reading

While most photos of children and family put forth a cleaned up and polished look, Alain Laboile takes another approach. He photographs his six children in their natural state – which is often pretty messy – as they play and explore in their Bordeaux, France home. The results are delightfully honest and candid images of good old dirt-between-your-toes fun. See gallery
There’s nothing traditional about photographer Nagano Toyokazu’s portraits of his daughter. His unorthodox shots put the girl at the center of a series of whimsical scenes, in turn commanding the attention of a line of yellow rubber ducks, conducting a chorus of frogs and tackling an impossible tower of ice cream scoops on a cone. They’re funny, sweet, and probably the most adorable thing you’ll see on the internet today. Click through and get ready for the cute.
Your dad is one cool, Rolling-Stones-loving, facial-hair-rocking dude.
He deserves to get something equally as rad as he is this Father’s Day.
Send him a photo puzzle in the mail!
Instead of receiving one card for Father’s Day, dad will get multiple envelopes in the mail with pieces of a photo puzzle in them creating excitement, magic, and an awesome image in the end.
Dad will get the first envelope in the mail with a card and a sweet handwritten note letting him know how much you love him.
When the final puzzle piece arrives, your tough as nails dad will find it hard not to get a little choked up when he’s reminded how cool he is for raising such an awesome person.

Why It’s Cool
Let’s admit it, we all love getting a greeting card in the mail. (Thanks for that birthday card with cash money in it grandma!)
This Father’s Day send your pop a week’s worth of greetings with the accompanying weeks worth of happiness.
Suspense, supporting the US Postal Service, and making dear old dad smile. Sweet!
Ingredients:
A photo your dad will love
Scissors
7 envelopes
Postage
STEP 1: PICK AND CHOOSE
Scan through your photo albums and grab a photo that will make dad smile.
This is fun ’cause you can take a trip down memory lane while looking through your photos for an awesome pic to send to your dad.
STEP 2: A MILLION LITTLE PIECES
Time to get crafty with your scissors.
Cut the photo into 7 pieces that will fit back together and will fit in your envelopes.
You can keep it simple with square shapes or go a little wild and start cutting different shapes that all fit together.
STEP 3: SEND A LITTLE SUGAR
“Hey Dad! Remember that time I stuck a raisin up my nose and it turned into a grape? Good times.”
Write a little note to dad on the back of each piece of the puzzle letting your dad know how awesome he is or a memory you’ve shared.
You can also write one word or two on each puzzle piece that will form a sentence when the puzzle is put together.
STEP 4: EXPLAIN YOURSELF
Dearest Father,
In the first envelope you send write a note to dad that explains he will be getting 7 envelopes in the mail that contain pieces of a puzzle that will fit together in the end.
Also, thanks for being a cool dude that has taught me many things. Things that include but are not limited to: how to ride a bike, how to make algebra easy, to always carry a hanky in your pocket.
You are the best.
Love, your favorite child.
STEP 5: PIECE BY PIECE
Place each piece of the puzzle in its own envelope.
Seal the envelope with love.
STEP 6: TO SIR, WITH LOVE
Stamp and address each envelope.
Almost ready to send dad a little bit o joy!
STEP 7: RAIN, SLEET, OR SNOW
Pop one envelope in the mail every day so your dad will receive all 7 envelopes before Father’s Day.
Taking It Further
Print the image on magnetic inkjet sheets so dad can put the finished puzzle on the fridge for the world to see.
Give dad all the tools for the photo puzzle and have him send you one.
Blow up a photo and make a giant photo puzzle that you can hang on the wall.
