As I reflect on Father’s Day, I think of how lucky that I am to have an amazing Dad who is always here for me, treats my husband like his own son and supports and has a lot of fun with his grandchildren (not to mention builds terrific Little Free Libraries).   As I scrolled through some old pictures, I found that there are very few pictures of my dad alone – he usually has at least one kid with him, sometimes multiple and there seem to be a lot of shots with ice cream, tractors and the dog!  Here are a few of my favourites as well as some book suggestions to enjoy on Father’s Day!

Happy Father’s Day to my awesome Dad, my husband who is an amazing dad and all the other great Dad’s we know.  Enjoy some downtime and some Father’s Day reading today:
