Sometimes less definitely is more...a hard lesson for an idea person like me. Whether it is planning a vacation, entertaining guests, or making dinner, in the end, I'm forced to admit that my family would be better off with a relaxed, happy me than with lots of interesting activities, foods, or presents.
So...if you didn't do that much for Father's Day this year and were feeling a little guilty, maybe wishing you had done more, be comforted: at least you didn't run yourself ragged and consequently walk around with short nerves toward your poor husband on his special day.
Anybody else have to learn this lesson over and over again?

I learn this lesson in my daily life... I try to cram too much into too little of a space and then it's bedtime and I wonder where the day went. Along these lines, I made a Father's Day choice to overlook the petty details and enjoy the simplicity. http://gratefullygrowingingrace.blogspot.com/2011/06/two-fathers-days.html
Lessons learned for us mamas!
This is a lesson I learn over and over, too!
I'd love for you to link this up to Learning Laboratory at my blog today =)
Oh yes, you're not the only one. If it makes you feel any better, I took several of your ideas for Father's Day and we all loved it! The button hunt, the mad-libs, and (everyone's favorite) the chocolate bar blind taste test. Thank you!
Yay! So glad you found the ideas useful! Hearing that always makes my day!
Thanks for linking up! =)
I forgot to add that I used the mad libs as a gift from my 3 year old and it turned out hilarious. Thank you!
Fun! My three year old made one too, and it definitely cracked us all up! :-)
