Celebrate Dad with a piping hot cup of coffee paired with donut holes and a delicious vanilla bourbon dipping sauce with this simple and fun Donuts for Dad Father’s Day Celebration.
We just spent the whole week celebrating National Doughnut Day with some of our favorite lifestyle bloggers. So, it only seemed fitting that we keep the donut vibe going as we start thinking about the next holiday, Father’s Day! When my kids were in pre-school one of their favorite things was Donuts with Dad.
I was the one who typically spent my day volunteering or attending functions at preschool, so they thought it was extra special when Dad would come and hang out with them at school.
Father’s Day is quickly approaching and if you haven’t already started to think about how to make Dad’s Day extra special I have you covered with a delicious and fun Donuts with Dad Father’s Day celebration.
