This Father's Day I wanted to give thanks. I recognize how blessed I am to have a husband who loves me, 3 kids under 5 who keep me busy 24/7, and a life that I love. I am extremely fortunate to be able to be a stay at home mom with my 3 kiddos, and still have the flexibility to train my clients and teach my classes that I love to do. It also keeps me sane and connected to the outside world. Whether you're a stay at home mom or a working mother, we do a lot. We all know that, it's no secret. But today, it's all the men in our lives. Come this Father's Day, like many other women out there, I wanted to say thank you to my man for being a wonderful dad to our 3 children, and an amazing loving husband to me. Our children learn different things from their moms and dads about life. I love being able to give my children the love and the nurturing that I do, but there are just certain things a father can share with his kids that are just beautiful to witness. Something that I hope my children will always remember. Something that I hope will keep them close to their father for the years to come.

15 Reasons I am Saying Thank You This Father's Day:

1. Thank you for working hard for us, and keeping a roof over our head.
2. Thank you for being a good leader in our home.
3. Thank you for showing the girls your love for the outdoors, and the fun in getting your hands a little dirty.
4. Thank you for running around and playing hide and seek with them even when you are dead tired.

11. Thank you for surprising us every once in a while with fun gifts and special treats that we all enjoy.

13. Thank you for taking the kids out on a sunny day and giving me some time to relax at home in a quiet house.

15. Thank you for loving me, and teaching them that the most important thing in life is 'family'.

 

And no matter HOW many times I see this, it still reminds me of you and how you really do know how to live the "DAD LIFE" 24/7 365. Here's to a bright future and many more memories for us all to share! I love you and here's to wishing you and all you other wonderful dad's out there a Happy Father's Day!
