Growing up with a dad who has helped raise two daughters I didn’t really think about all the things a male would need to learn when raising girls. Now that I’m watching my husband, Derek, experience it with our girls, I have a whole new understanding to this dynamic. While this is by no means a list of everything fathers have to learn when raising daughters or do I assume all family lifestyles interact the way I’m showcasing here, this is the experience I’ve seen with the shortlist of lessons a girl dad has to learn when raising daughters. Today’s post is not only written as an observation of myself but was a combination of answers given by fellow girl moms and girl dads I polled. Forward it over to fellow girl dads or soon-to-be girl dads so they can freshen up on what’s ahead with a life of a girl! Expect more talking during playtime. Boys can roll around trucks for hours quietly by themselves but girls seem to require more chatter during creative pretend play. Dads, ... Continue Reading...

Have the kids hand paint him a banner! Grab your smocks, roll of paper and finger paint and get to work on a World's Greatest Daddy banner to welcome him to breakfast tomorrow morning! Kids love finger painting and their dad so putting two and two together seemed like a no brainer. The setup was also super simple as we already had all our favorite art supplies on hand. I grabbed a marker and wrote out "World's Greatest Daddy" with a mix of script and block print. Honestly, if you watched my Instagram stories yesterday you saw that my first thought was that this was going to be a disaster. I gave each girl a bowl of paint, a paintbrush and put on their smocks and thought they'd get paint everywhere. I mean, they haven't done too much stand up free form painting yet so I wasn't sure what to expect. Plus toddlers with a bowl of paint ready to flip or spill was the ... Continue Reading...

To learn more about my affiliates, please review my disclosure policy here. Father's Day is coming up so it's time to put the finishing touches on his gift. If you took my advice from my previous about quirky and traditional Father's Day gifts and chose the universal remote for your pops, it's your lucky day as I'm now giving you the finishing touches to that gift with a king of the remote printable to add to you gift! We have this Logitech universal remote in our living room and love that it has helped us condense all our remotes into one. We can watch tv, play recorded shows on our dvr, play music on our blue ray, binge watch shows on netflix and do tons of other things all with the use of one single remote. Mom don't tell him but SPOILER alert: we're gifting my dad one of this remote for Father's Day! Now he won't need 5 remotes to interact with all his entertainment equipment (as long as Derek programs it for him!) To make the gift extra special, I personalized the gift with a remote printable tag stating who's the king! Feel free ... Continue Reading...
