This Sunday is Father’s Day in the US. I wanted to take a moment to honor all the Dad’s out there. It is not easy showing up and being present as a father, but those who do make a world of difference in the lives of their children.
You are leading by example for your family. Every joke you share, every hug you give, every tear you dry, every cheer from the sideline, and every time you handle anger responsibly, you are modeling the behavior that is shaping your child into a strong, compassionate, and honorable person. This weekend we celebrate you!

Keep Him Safe
For the man who is always protecting his family, here is a gift to keep him safe.
SafeSleeve Anti-Radiation Phone Case
You know how harmful radiation is. You also know how often dad is on his phone for work. And when he is not on his phone, he usually has it in his pocket. Without a protective cover, the radiation from his phone can cause serious damage over time. This anti-radiation phone cover is the perfect gift to keep him safe.
The Comfort Zone
It is no secret that men ultimately just want to be comfortable. Whereas I would choose a slight bit of discomfort for the perfect look, my husband is all about the comfort zone. This bathrobe is the perfect, non-toxic, ultimate comfort gift.

A Salute To Fathers Everywhere
When I think back to my childhood, my father was my real-life hero. Today, I add my husband to that category.
I salute all of the wonderful fathers who have touched the lives of so many, be it their own children, somebody else’s, people they have mentored, and children they have coached…I celebrate you.
Thank you for being great fathers and role models for our children. The impact you make on our future generations is immeasurable.
“A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way.”

To your health & happiness,
