Are you procrastinating buying something for Father’s Day. (That falls on this coming Sunday.) Or, maybe you aren’t procrastinating but you just haven’t found anything of interest to the Dads in your life? Enter the Mom Central Father’s Day Gift Guide. (At this point, you should hear the sounds of angels blowing trumpets and singing. Hear them? No? You didn’t click yet. Click. I’ll wait. See? Angels.)

The gift guide is separated into four categories:

• Under $25
• Under $50
• Under $100
• Over $100

I’ll be honest. I clicked on the Under $25 category first. Not because I don’t think FireDad is worth more than $25 or that his parenting isn’t somehow worth much more. But because the economy stinks right now. That list had some nice grilling options. I did, of course, hop through each of the categories and, I’ll be honest: FireDad would love everything in the Over $100 category. (That Casio EX-S5 Camera? He’d love it so he didn’t have to borrow my big, honking DSLR!) The lists have everything from a Microbrew gift basket (don’t tell FireDad) to a book on Sea Warfare. You’ll have to give them a look to see everything they have to offer.

To make matters all the more awesome, Mom Central is also giving away stuff every day through Father’s Day. Everything from grilling accessories to a Jeep tent built for seven people. I’m going to be honest. FireDad saw the tent. FireDad wants the tent. So if you could refrain from entering that giveaway, the FireFamily would be grateful. What? The Dads in your life want it as well? Can I bribe you with cookies? They’re yummy! No? That’s unfortunate. May the best Dad win! (Which is obviously FireDad… right? Right.)

Whether you’ve already purchased a gift or you’re still trying to figure it out, visit the Gift Guide and the Giveaways list. As always, thanks to Mom Central for going above and beyond the call of duty to help moms. Thumbs up!

June 21st is when Father’s Day falls this year. June 21st is also the first day of summer. And when I think of summer, I think of hot weather. And hot weather makes me grumpy. And the only thing that makes me un-grumpy is something that cools me down (swimming, air conditioning or a cool treat). What better way to help the dads in your life cool down this Father’s Day than a nice, cool Frosty from Wendy’s?

Cool, chocolatey goodness isn’t enough for you? For every Frosty sold on Father’s Day (and the day before, Saturday the 20th), Wendy’s will donate 50 cents to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. (As you know, we’re a family touched by adoption.) They’ve gone another great step this year and have created a site that allows you to make a free e-card to send to a dad in you life… and for each one sent, they will donate 25 cents to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Hooray!

If you’re unfamiliar with the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, here’s a quick look at their mission statement.

MISSION: The Foundation will dramatically increase the number of adoptions of waiting children from North America’s foster care systems.

As you know, we’re strong supporters of ethical reforms in adoption. One of those reforms that our family believes in is that there are too many older children waiting for homes in our foster care system. It’s heart-breaking. Something needs to be done. The fact that their mission is to do something about it is something we can support.

In short, don’t forget to get the dad in your life a Frosty at Wendy’s on Father’s Day weekend (June 20th and 21st) and go send some e-cards as well at Frostycard.com. We’ll be going to buy one for FireDad on the 20th (as he works on the 21st). See you there!

[Thanks to Mom Central for letting us know about this yummy, worthy cause!]
