I love Father’s Day because we can celebrate what a great dad my husband is, my amazing father-in-law, and my dad too!
It’s a day to honor our dads, husbands, and other fathers in our lives.
For me, Father’s Day is a little bittersweet, since my dad passed away a few years ago. He was a great example to my kids, and a great grandpa.
I think about my dad every day, and I’m so grateful for the person that he was, and what he was able to teach me and my kids.
My family remembers my dad and his great example – and all the fun we had — every day, not just Father’s Day.
He was always up for an adventure and loved the outdoors.
And luckily we have so many fun memories with him — from fishing in the California mountains to investigating tide pools in Hawaii!
I recently found out about Cardstore’s Pin it For Papa contest, and I thought it was a cool idea.
And to kick off the contest, Cardstore is offering one TT&J reader a chance to win a $100 Visa gift card. All you have to do is participate in Cardstore’s Pinterest Contest, Pin It For Papa, and enter via the Rafflecopter widget below.I can’t wait to see all of the fun activities everyone pins about their dads!
This contest helps you recognize those moments and activities that are special to you and your dad! Cardstore makes it easy to create custom cards to honor your favorite fathers — and your favorite activities together — by adding personal photos, personalized messaging and your signature. Cardstore will then print, stamp and send the card for you!
Here are the contest details:
For a chance to win the $100 Visa Gift Card, follow the directions in the Rafflecopter box below. It might take a second to fully load, and if you are on a mobile device, you may need to enter on a computer for best results.
Cardstore is offering additional bonus prizes which will be carried out on their Pin It For Papa Pinterest Board. You may pin as many images from their board as you like for more chances to win one of 3 $50 gift cards for each week of the contest and their grand prize of a $300 gift card. This will all take place over at their Pinterest page.
Good luck!
xoxo

So sorry to hear about your dad, Jen! I totally understand it being a hard day for you. I lost my mom over 20 years ago and Mother’s Day is tough for me. It sounds like he set a wonderful example for you and your family. He is with you in spirit! Hugs!! =)
