Fatherโs Day is June 15th this year. Our tradition is basically a card and a photo for my husbandโs office. But recently on the Be a Happier Parent podcast,
articulated one of the ways that The Good Mother Myth affects men, saying โWe donโt have as rich of a cultural understanding of what it means to be a good father,โ and it made me feel like I didnโt want to rush past Fatherโs Day this year. So in the interest of celebrating the dads who are loving, growing, and showing up day after day alongside us, here are a few gift ideas. (These arenโt affiliate links.

โ๏ธ PSโThe fastest way to grow as a writer is to book a manuscript critique or a creative coaching session with an expert. My clients get agents, sell books, and win awards. They also learn how to enjoy the creative process, so they can keep going when life gets hard. ๐
This is so thoughtful, Heidi!
