Today’s post is a shout out to all of the dads out there. Whether you are a seasoned pro, a newbie or a wannabe. This is a tribute to you. Big hugs to dads today, this is second in a series of Happy Posts. What are you all up to to honor the men in your life?
Mom I don’t want to leave you out. It is you and dad together that have made me the happy person I am. I feel blessed for each and every moment I have on this Earth. Remember all of these wedding photos? Great memories huh!
Y’all see my hubs to the far left? He was there too sillies it was OUR wedding afterall……
One of my biggest fans is my dad. I am one of his greatest admirers too. It’s about time he gets the spotlight on my blog, what better than to share him with the world on Father’s Day! My dad has always been there for me.
I have amazing memories of my childhood. My formative years were spent growing up on Long Island. In the summers we fled to my aunt and uncles organic dairy farm in Devon, England. That is my little girl in the photo, she looks a lot like me as a kid.
Don’t let the wedding photos deceive you. My dad is a really casual guy. It is not often that you would catch him in a suit. In the way that I live in Lululemon he lives in Levi’s and plaid shirts.
My dad always wanted to be a farmer, but instead he is a dentist. That is why he loves his John Deere tractor. He has the best of both worlds. Teeth for work & tractor for play. Go figure.
He makes an awesome grandpa too. Thank you for that. Our kids adore their Grandma and Papa. My kids especially love when you take them for milkshakes at Ruby’s. ‘Cause we are all about the food over here.
To my hubs, you are a dream come true……most of the time 😉 No really you always have my back and I have yours. Without you raising these kids would be a much bigger challenge than it all ready is and not nearly as fun.
Hopefully one day my little guy will be a great dad too. For now he is precious as my small little nugget.
If there was a dessert from my blog I think you guys would love today I would go with this cherry crisp. Just for you. Can we enjoy it together over the web?
Or perhaps this Maple Apple Upside Down Cake…
Either way, life is sweet. Happy Father’s Day.

What a beautiful family!
What a sweet tribute to your dad. I am sure he is so very proud of you! Where on Long Island did you grow up? My mom is from Long Island!
Maris I grew up in Roslyn Heights. Where is your mom from?
Happy Father’s Day to you!
Great tribute to the two important dads in your life:)
Aww love this post! So cute. Your family is adorable.
Thanks Katrina, glad I can share them with you guys 🙂
I would love to enjoy that cherry crisp over the web, or in person. It looks sooo good!
And what a super sweet post, Marla, to your dad and also to your hubs. Yes, raising kids alone without a partner would be one of the hardest things EVER. I cannot imagine it and so glad you have your hubs there to help you and that you each have each other’s back.
The pics of him with your kids and you and your dad….are all great. I love posts like this 🙂
Hey Averie, love your Father’s Day post too. Especially what you say here:
“Because I am the “parent on duty” day in, day out, I may not always be the “fun” parent based on just having to live life and get things done.”
My hubs id definitely the “fun” guy. Though we both keep the kiddos outta trouble 😉
Hope you guys have a most wonderful day!! xo
What a lovely post! Beautiful family… 🙂
Lovely photos, what a nice way to Celebrate your Father.
Aww, love this! You were such a beautiful bride. 🙂
I absolutely love this post! The family is gorgeous, I so remember the bond a daughter has with her father and you are so lucky to share these fabulous memories… I miss my dad so much… You really have it all, talent, good looks from your dad and the most precious of all your own gorgeous creations from you and your hubby! Blessings to all today and always… xo
Claudia, I am touched by your sweet comment. I am happy you took the time to share that with me 🙂 I am grateful for every minute I have with the people who touch my life with their love & kindness.
