THE BEST IDEAS FOR A GREAT FATHER’S DAY

With Father’s Day right around the corner, I want to let my guy (and dads) know how much they mean to me. But this year, since I’ve been on an extended medical leave of absence, I’ve got to show them without breaking the bank.

So I took to the web and collaborated with some of my friends to find the best ideas for a great Father’s Day to help make the guys in our lives feel special!

Whether the special man in your life is with you, has been called home, or is no longer in your life, I have a round-up of great gift ideas, scrumptious meals, and ways to make it through the pain that so many of you experience on this day.

• Cheesy Breakfast Bacon Burrito – From Delish
• Bacon Weave Breakfast Tacos – Also from Delish (If bacon is in the recipe, then I have no doubt this will be a hit with my guy!)
• Epic Quinoa Burgers with Sweet Potato Fries, Carmelized Onions, and Grueyer – From Half-Baked Harvest (If your favorite guy doesn’t like quinoa, you can certainly substitute a traditional ground beef burger, which is what I’ll be doing.)

Encouragement ON A painful father’s day

I realize that Father’s Day can be an extremely difficult day for some.

Maybe you haven’t been the father you’d like to be.

Whatever your circumstances, here are some encouraging posts to help you through your day.

• The Value of Father’s Day (even when it hurts) – From True and Faithful
• Fathers, Do You Struggle with Provoking Your Children? – From Living Our Priorities
• I Don’t Know My Daddy Like That – From Her Soul Speaks (Grab your tissues on this one, friend, and be prepared to learn a little something!)
