1. Why you should say no to alcohol

2. A pinch of salt prevents the egg's shell from cracking while boiling

3. Balloons make for a sophisticated and chic backdrop

Contrary to what many of us might think, or remember balloons to be, they can be very 'grown up', chic and sophisticated. Just remember to stick to a neutral, or limited colors color-palette. Clear/transparent balloons also add texture to your overall look without a solid/bold  balloon being there.

4. The father has an important role in teaching persistence to his young adolescent children

According to sciencedaily.com and research done by Brigham Young University (BYU), father's play and important and unique role in teaching their children about being and staying persistent. All about completing tasks, sticking to a goal. Not to say that mother's can't enforce these teachings, but it is important to know that the father being involved is very important and really he is just as influential as a mother.

Just remember:

Also let's take this time to remember those that don't have their father's with them.

Below are some charities that help support those that don't have families of their own.

Additionally, if you or someone you know doesn't have a father present with them, take this day to remember them, thank them for what they've done and/or hope and pray that they are safe and in a good state wherever they are. If they haven't been the best relationship you've had in your lifetime, hope that he, no matter what your memories of him are (if at all), that he is better than what he was to you and that you can have a family one day in which you are a good father, have a spouse that is a good father to your children. Also, don't forget that you can help those that also don't have father figures (even mothers) in their lives.

Some of many Orphanage foundations you can help TODAY!

Even give this as a gift to your dad to be one to another child out there that needs the financial support to live their own lives.
