Can you believe that Father’s Day is only days away? If you are like myself, it has truly snuck up on me and I began to scramble for ideas on what my kids could give their dad and grandfathers for Father’s Day. After letting them help me search the internet for ideas, we came up with a plan to do 3 different things to show their dad and grandfathers just how loved they really are.
