Happy Easter!
I’m running yarn all over the backyard for the kiddos to follow to find their baskets from the Easter Bunny. The Todd is baking the ham–he being the cook in the family guarantees that our guests won’t be poisoned, so that’s good… From the Collards and The Angriest Cat In The Universe–Happy Easter!

Friday’s Motivation Moment
Free Package Tracking & Return Service
Based on that truly awful video of a Fed Ex delivery guy simply tossing a hugely expsensive tv monitor over a fence that went viral this week, I’m guessing we’ll see several new signups for UPS My Choice. It’s a free service that tracks your packages, allows you to “sign” for things via a text and handles all of your returns with pickup and delivery. I’m guessing this will really come in handy around the Collard house for post-Christmas purchase regrets. Click here to sign up, once again, the service is free.

Most Entertaining Father’s Day Gifts
Sure, it’s nice to make The Todd all teary-eyed on Father’s Day. BUT–if I can get him to crack up over a gift, it is soooo much cooler. Here’s some of my favorites this year:
The Aluma Wallet–it looks like a leeetle, tiny Halliburton briefcase. Given The Todd’s propensity for sending his wallet through the washer, under the lawnmower, etc. this sucker is awesome! It’s a BOGO free deal for a mere $10.99, click here to see your options.
Six Free Gifts From VistaPrint–here’s why this cracks me up: last year I ordered the most truly appalling family picture ever taken of us and put it on a t-shirt with the saying “Cutest Family Ever!” The expression on The Todd’s face was priceless: you could tell he was terrified to laugh at it in case I was serious. There’s also a free coffee mug that you can personalize with a picture of his offspring so he remembers who they are as he blearily drinks his coffee. There’s photobooks, calendars, return address labels, all kinds of lovely things you can personalize for the coolest father in the world. Click here to order, you can still get them in time for Father’s Day, and all you’ll pay is shipping.
The Ghost Pepper: what is it with men? They have to drive the fastest car, climb the highest mountain, eat the hottest pepper… On the off chance you can’t buy that Maserati for your spouse this year, you can always present him with The Hottest Pepper In the WORLD. Oh, you know he’s going to love it. Click here to order.
