Fathers Day is almost here! This year I have felt like the biggest slacker when it comes to planning for special days! In fact, I’m writing this post with Fathers day coming up next weekend. This last minute thing is new to me and I’m pretty sure it has been a byproduct of the grief our family has been processing since our foster girls left us in January. So, if you find yourself in my shoes, trying to make sure the fathers in your life feel the love in just over a week, take advantage of my last minute gift search! Here are some celebration and gift ideas that you should be able to get before Fathers day!
If you’re feeling at a loss for what to do or where to go, here are a few ideas to get your wheels turning. While Fathers day falls on a Sunday, don’t feel like you can’t utilize Saturday as an alternative celebration day!
