Father’s Day is coming up… and I have mixed feelings. Yay! I love the men in my life. Ugh, I hate gifting to the men in my life. They are so difficult! My husband said it well the other day. “If I want something and we can afford it, I’ve probably already bought it.” This is very true. My dad wants nothing, ever. At least that’s what he says. And my brother… he learned from my dad.
Do you know any men that are hard to gift for? If so, I’ve gathered some ideas to help you find the right gift for the men in your life this Father’s Day.
From Momma:
What Daddy couldn’t use a little more “Me and Momma” time?
I know we are busy. Work, church, kids, activities, running the household, it all takes time
Sometimes, Mr Napping and I get so focused on “Us” as a family that we forget about “Us” as a couple.
We get along better and things run more smoothly when we take the time to reconnect with each other.
Besides, I’ll tell you how to adjust each of these to make them a “from the kids” gift instead.
Date Night Jar
Let your sweetie pie know that you want to schedule some of his time. Make planning easier with date ideas already gathered and written out. Don’t play the “I dunno, what’da you wanna do?” game.

From the kids version – Instead of date nights ideas,
write down family activities you can do together.
Bike rides, picnic at the park, whatever you enjoy doing as a family.
Or write down things you’ve wanting to try together.
