Well, I'm in Calgary at a conference learning from some experts and I still have a few gifts to pick up for Father's Day. They really are hard to buy for, don't you agree?

Last ezine we tried something new and it was such a hit with YOU! If you missed it, today is your lucky day! We are offering our 'Day Out With Dad' again so you can get a sneak peak at just some of the amazing savings and vouchers that are coming out in our new book. About that new book, I just saw the final proof and it is looking really good. The printers are rolling the presses and it should be here before the end of the month. So if you haven't got your copy yet get your very own copy . Be one of the first to receive the 2nd Edition of The 'Little Black Book' for busy families. Wait until you see all the new family friendly businesses we've found.

You know we love photos, so take a picture of the kids and Dad on Father's Day and send it to us for our next edition. That would then make a great gift for next year. :)

I saw the funniest shirt on my girlfriend's son Matthew today. I have to share it with you. If I would have seen it sooner I would have had T-shirts made - I think they would have sold out. It said, "Dad 'thinks' he's in charge". That has to be the quote for this weekend.

Enjoy and have a great Father's Day!
