THE FEED: Last Minute DIY Dad Ideas

THE FEED: Last Minute DIY Dad Ideas

Every Thursday in The Feed Kevin talks to Kallie from ButFirstCoffee Blog.com about all things parenting and mom life. With Father’s Day coming up this Sunday Kallie has some super fun last minute DIY gift ideas for the kids to make for dad.


Dad Questionnaire – These are super funny for kids like 3-6 you just have them answer questions about their dad like what’s their job, how old are they. You could take it up a notch and do a video of them saying it too.

Popsicle stick picture frames – I think these are just so cute but adorable.

DIY mugs – all you need are some plain mugs (like from the Dollar Tree) and Glass Paint Pens you can get these 2 day shipping on amazon or most craft stores. Once you’ve decorated them allow the mugs to air dry for 8 hours in order to cure. Then, pop them into a non preheated oven, turn to 375, when it hits temperature set a 40 minute timer and then they are done!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy pulls over to save a kitten, ends up saving a whole kitten family

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Guy pulls over to save a kitten, ends up saving a whole kitten family

Anytime you see an animal struggling to cross a road you’re natural instinct is to pull over and help. Turtles, bunnies, or even kittens.

A guy is going viral after he pulled over to save a kitten and then before he knew 12 more ran out of a patch of weeds near the same road! He ended up saving all of them and they are all getting adopted. So sweet.

There’s video of the whole thing too.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do all your fingernails grow differently?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do all your fingernails grow differently?

I thought about this while cutting my nails the other day. Do they all grow at the same speed/time?

The answer is no. Your fingernails actually grow faster on your dominant hand. The nails also grow faster on your bigger fingers than the small ones.

For a full nail to grow from the base to the tip it takes about 6 months.

Happy nail clipping!
