There is a new Kelly Clarkson single that has been played on the radio a lot recently. It is a song that she wrote for her Father and the awful person that he was. Her story has been redeemed by having a wonderful husband who loves her and her children and shows her that not all Father’s walk away. I know that so many women and children can relate to that song. Over the course of history, parents have chosen an easy way out. To walk away, to pursue their own dreams and desires instead of sacrificing for their family.
But, I’m so, so, so incredibly blessed and thankful to be able to say that I will never be able to resonate with that song. My Dad never walked away. He always took care of me(still does!) He loves me.
And now that I’m a Mom, I have a husband who is a Father that is just the same for his girls. He lays down his life every day for them, and he always will. Because his Father showed him how, too.
Today’s Dad offers a fresh perspective on fatherhood and they deserve gifts that are just as personal, inspirational, and loving as he is. The same is true for grandfathers, too!
I was able to use Snapfish to select some really special and personalized gifts for all three of the amazing Dad’s in my life! Both my Dad and Father in law are still working, so I knew that mouse pads and desk calendars would be an awesome addition to both of their offices.
And, of course, my own loving and dear husband, who is the best Daddy to our girls, we made a personalized coffee mug and special mouse pad of his own to use and enjoy every workday!
Snapfish was wonderful to work with. I was able to easily upload my own photos, personalize, create, and customize all of my own products. The shipping was fast and the quality of their items are fantastic. If you want to make a wonderful Father in your life happy this Father’s Day, give Snapfish a try!

Love Snapfish!
Now that I’m a momma, I love when my husband takes over the morning routine with our 10-month-old daughter, Eloise. Listening to them talk, sing, and play while he gets her dressed over the monitor is the sweetest way for me to start my morning!
That Kelly Clarkson song brings me to tears every time I hear it! Even though, like you, I can not relate in any way. I still love it! Great options for Father’s Day gifts!
These would be awesome as father’s day gifts!
Photo gifts are my go to. We are about to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and because wood is the suggested gift, I have the neatest wood/photo gift lined up for James.
One of my favorite dad moments is spending the summer fishing together at the river.
When thinking of my dad I have the fondest memories of just helping him out in the yard and projects like that. I guess it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you are doing it together. Now I’m not sure if those are his fondest memories.. since I’m sure I got in his way and made them take longer.. but he never let that show to me.
This year is exciting because we get to celebrate my husband’s second Father’s Day, plus my father and my FIL. I have the best memories with my father. Total daddies girl. He has always been strict with me, but he shaped me into the woman I am today and I am forever grateful for him.
i am so happy that you cannot resonate with that song! you have some wonderful amazing people in your life. i unfortunately can relate to it, a little too well (although my father did not come back because i did not ‘make something’ of myself for him to want to) and it is super hard for me sometimes to see fathers as anything other than my own – even though i know so many amazing fathers! to me, a parent and a mother are the same thing, and fathers do not factor into the equation at all. which i know is horrible and unfair. i’m getting there! KC didn’t have the best father either, though I know he will make an amazing one, nothing like his or mine. and that’s what matters. that mug is awesome – i’ll have to keep that in mind for KC one day. maybe I should get him one with the cats on it hahaha.
Some of my favorite memories of growing up with my Dad are of early morning fishing trips on the lake! We didn’t need to catch a thing for it to be a big adventure!
Generally – daddy/baby bath time with our son. Specifically – when I returned from a work trip today to find a super-smiley little guy waiting with mommy at the top of the stairs so I could say goodnight before his bedtime.
Sweet pictures! My little baby (who will be 1 tomorrow) helps daddy make the coffee in the morning, too! He is such a good daddy to her!!!
My favorite memories of my dad are when he’s being goofy and making us all laugh! 🙂
I love these gifts! I actually got a mousepad for my dad too 🙂 Photo gifts are some of my favorite things to give.
