• Ooey Gooey S’mores are a Summer Staple

  Date: 2012.06.20 | Category: Uncategorized | Response: 0

  Last weekend, a motley crew of Smiley Central employees gathered together at our offices far too early on a Saturday morning, groggy and growling for coffee. After loading up several vans with supplies (hey, we like to be prepared) we set off for a weekend adventure of hiking, tubing and camping as an office-bonding exercise. And bond we did — when you’re in a fan with your coworkers for six hours on your way to the mountains, things can get a little crazy. Luckily, we all made it through the weekend without being mauled by a bear or popping a tube on the river’s rapids. We did come back with mosquito bites, sunburns and some really great stories.

  What is everyone’s favorite thing about camping? S’mores. Some of the Smiley Central staffers ate only s’mores on our weekend in the woods and that is fine. Whether you like your ‘mallows burnt to a crisp or lightly toasted, you really can’t beat the ooey-gooey goodness of melted chocolate, warm marshmallows and crunchy graham crackers roasted over a roaring outdoor fire. To commemorate our weekend in the woods, we created this brand new smiley graphic of a cool dude roasting marshmallows. Download it today and share it with your friends! Who knows? It may inspire you all to pack into a van and head to the mountains like we did.

  

• Show Dad You Care With a Father’s Day Smiley

  Hey everyone, this is your reminder to take some time this weekend to tell your dear old dad “Happy Father’s Day.” While Memorial Day seems to be the official start of summer, it always seems to us like Father’s Day is the real start to summer — probably because it is usually accompanied by grilling out and playing baseball, two of a dads’ favorite things to do. We can all thank our pops for a lot of things. We asked around the Smiley Central office what people could attribute to their dads. Some people mentioned religion, a sense of family pride, a hard work ethic, how to cook, how to fix things, how to play baseball or tennis or football or swim, how to ride a bike, how to fix a flat tire… the list goes on and on.

  Still looking for a great Father’s Day gift? How about a tie? A new pair of socks? Just kidding, we give you permission to give him something he really wants — a smiley from Smiley Central. Download the smiley below for free and send it over to dad. It’s guaranteed to make you his favorite son or daughter.
