Wondering how to make Father's Day special for Dad? Consider taking on some of the household jobs that dads often do - the most laborious ones. Round up the kids and start checking off these items on Dads to-do list:
1. Mow the Lawn - Make Dad's job easier by giving your lawn a mini-makeover. First, rake away leaves, sticks and any other debris that may get in the lawnmower's way. Then, trim away! When you're done, do Dad another favor by hosing off your mower and (if needed) changing the air filter and oil.
2. Clean out the Drain - Make a natural drain cleaner by putting 1 cup of baking soda followed by 3 cups of boiling water down your house hold drains. How does it work? The boiling water makes the baking soda's chemical composition more alkaline - perfect for tackling those heavy drain accumulations.
3. Simplify the Trash - Trash duty is no one's favorite chore. Make it easier by lining your trash can with multiple bags. This way, Dad won't need to replace the bag next time he takes out the rash. Another tip: if your trash bag springs a leak, don't wait to wipe off your trash can. Cleaning the liquid spill is much easier than scraping it off down the road.
4. Call in those Repairs - If Dad's been waiting for some free time to repair a broken appliance, window, fence, etc. treat him today by letting him off the hook and calling in a pro. Schedule the repairs and surprise dad.
5. Detail his Car - While Dad is kicking back and watching some sports, taking a nap, etc. Get his car detailed for him. Whether you take it to a local all inclusive car wash and have it washed and cleaned inside and out, or you get out a bucket, some water, soap, sponge and a vacuum and have the kids help you, treat him to a "new" car.
Happy Father's Day!
