Father’s Day is coming up, Sunday June 21st. That means it’s time to treat Dad and how him just how much he’s appreciated!
Why not put together an awesome Pajama Day box just for him? Personalize it by filling it with treats Dad will love and use for his very own PJ Day. A day where he can kick back, relax, and be cozy…
Here are some things you can gather to create his Pajama Day in a Box:
– Some craft beer
– A pair of cool PJ pants
– His favorite movie
– A magazine he loves: Car & Driver, Time, Sports Illustrated, etc
– A batch of yummy homemade cookies
– A comfy robe
– Book of crossword puzzles
– Hand dipped pretzles
– A new book from his favorite author or a classic he loves
– A set of happy socks
– A bag of donuts from the local shop
– Some fun boxers
– A copy of his newspaper of choice: The Wall St Journal, NT Times, etc
Gather it all together and wrap it up. Present it on Father’s Day morning and let him know that this is his day to chill out and do whatever he wants all day long – no questions asked!
Sometimes you just need a break. Whether you’ve had a hard week or you’re just feeling tired out from the day to day hustle.
So this weekend, we give you permission to be totally and completely lazy! Stay in your pajamas all day long, relax, and maybe even do something you wouldn’t normally do…
Here are 8 things to do in your pajamas this weekend:
1. Have an ice cream sundae party.
Ahhh…real ice cream sundaes? Yes, pleeeeease. Get out your favorite ice cream flavor, sprinkes, whip cream, and chocolate sauce and go to town. If you’re a peanut butter lover, you’ve got to check out this recipe for Friendly’s peanut butter sauce…don’t forget the Reese’s pieces! Yum!!!
Check out these silly girls who take ice cream sundaes in pajamas to a whole new level!
2. Lifetime movie marathon, anyone?
Yep, they are totally cheezy with predictable and often absurd story lines – a guilty pleasure for sure. but there’s just something about a good Lifetime movie that we can’t quite quit. Check for the latest schedule here.
3. Get messy & bake some cookies!
Baking cookies is messy and takes time. So stay in your jammies and declare it a cookie day – the household chores can wait! Bake your favorite recipe, have fun decorating, and enjoy the yummy fruits of your labor.
4. Learn to Yo-Yo.
I know, a little adolescent, but Saturday is National Yo-Yo Day after all! So channel your inner child brush up on your skills. You’ll be walking the dog in no time!
5. Read Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
Chances are you’ve seen the movie, but have you read the book? You might be interested to learn that the Holly Golightly portrayed in Truman Copote’s orginal work is a bit different – and darker – that the character in the movie!
6. Do something crafty.
Get creative! Knit a blanket or sew an easy tote bag. Maybe screen print a cool t-shirt for Father’s Day? We found a whole bunch of fun ideas on Pinterest for weekend crafting.
7. (Pajama) Jam to the oldies.
When’s the last time you chilled out and enjoyed your favorite music from way, way back? Whether the oldies of your day are on vinyl or i-tunes, break them out and get down. Maybe it’s Motown, The Beatles, Disco, 80’s Hair Bands, or possibly some early Britney Spears. It’s all about your jams, in your jams!
8. Do a jigsaw puzzle.
Jigsaw puzzles take many hours to complete, and we think pajamas are pretty much the only way to dress for it. Not only are they fun to do with friends and family, but puzzles are actually a good way to keep your brain sharp too – using both side of your brain with logic and creativity. So ditch the i-pad and turn off the TV and instead do something low tech this weekend. We love this colorful cereal box puzzle!

Have you ever noticed that how you get ready for bed can have a big impact on how easily you fall asleep?
Here are some tried and true things to do before bed to help you sleep better:
1. Wind down before bed.
We know you probably love to catch up on your favorite shows in the evening, but it’s best to do your TV or movie watching a little earlier in the night.
Give yourself time to wind down – at least 30 minutes – before it’s time to close your eyes. Turn off the TV and grab a book or magazine and get cozy.
2. Quiet your mind.
Mind chatter can get in the way of good sleep. If you have something on your mind, it can be hard to shake. Journaling is a great way to empty your mind of those thoughts.
Spend a little time reflecting on your day or simply do a brain dump of thoughts, things you need to do, or bright ideas. This will help you to get to a more peaceful place so you can rest with ease.
3. Indulge in some aromatherapy.
Essential oils are a really nice way to end the day. Scents like lavendar, chamomile, and sandalwood are known for their calming properties. You can simply take a few drops and rub them into your skin or incorporate into your hand lotion and give your hands or feet a brief massage.
Or treat yourself to a cozy pair of spa slippers complete with scented grain packs for relaxation.
4. Listen to soothing music.
There’s nothing like music to change your state. Find some relaxing music and make a practice of listening to it before you drift off. We love this set of soothing music with nature sounds. I-tunes and Youtube have many varities of music to calm you, so find what you like!
5. Try a relaxation practice.
Take a few minutes to ease into relaxation. Kind of like counting sheep, but a little less active. Try a muscle relaxation exercise or visualization. These breathing techniques may also help you to relax.
