Lisa Leonard Keychain for Dad
So, I was at the local card shop today buying… wait for it, yes, cards. (You guys are so perceptive.) And I was discouraged not only by the selection of Father’s Day cards, but also about the message portrayed in so many of them. Now, I admit that I lucked out in the Dad department (Hi Dad!), but the stereotypes depicted in the assortment allotted to me included themes of cussing, bodily noises, beer, remote control obsession and a little bit of golf. I don’t find anything wrong with many of these things (I like to hold… and control the remote as much as the next guy), but I walked away slightly dismayed that I couldn’t find anything more clever, more modern to speak to a better breed of fathers out there.
Like this…
If you have never heard of Lisa Leonard Designs, then let me start by saying, “You’re Welcome”! She is amazing. And I want almost everything she makes. But today, I have to thank her for her contribution to the Father’s Day dilemma. I know the guy in my life is a superhero. He leaves for work at 5:15am, cleans the kitchen regularly, bathes and feeds little Lyla, embraces life by loving things like photography, and often he even forces me out of the house so that I can have much-needed-me-time. Yep, he’s our superhero. Happy Father’s Day, Mikey.
ps… this post is your Father’s Day card… and gift. Hope you like it. 
Awww, you shouldn’t have
But I’m glad for it…because of all the many things I’ve wanted to do and be over my life, a superhero was definitely on the list.
Now I can check that off!
Luv ya!
