Hat's off to Dads

Dads do so much every day. Need some ideas for Father's Day?

Gifts can be very simple and meaningful at the same time, especially for men.

How do the dads in your life show love? That's probably the best way to show them love.

Here are a few simple ideas, along with the love language in parentheses:

• Make his favorite meal and everyone give him a homemade card (gifts/acts of service)
• Take his car to the carwash and have the kids help vacuum and wipe down the dash, etc. (acts of service)
• Tuck random notes from you and the kids in his closet, car, medicine chest. (words of affirmation)
• Do something as a family that he loves to do (quality time)
• Make little coupons for free backrub, footrub, or backscratch. (physical touch)
• Encourage older kids to write out 3 specific memories with their dad that were special. (words of affirmation/gifts/quality time affirming)

Remember, dads are typically low maintenance and these things -- homemade cards,  notes, coupons, etc. don't need to be fancy.

Happy Father's Day, and may the man in your home feel deeply honored and loved.
