FATHER'S DAY THANK YOU

June 16, 2022 janet gunn

Ski trip 2022 - Luca & Derek

This year I am a little late on the gift guide for dads, but it’s never too late to say thank you to our son’s dad, Derek, even though our guy Luca is away working as a camp counselor and getting paid (yee-haw) this Father’s Day, it’s ok because he’s doing what he loves… and we love that!

We didn’t head off on a big adventure this year, but Derek and Luca love road trips and skiing, so there were a few of those priceless moments. Fathers are so important, and our world needs great dads! There is no rule book for parenting, however, listening, quality time, and being emotionally available are qualities kiddos need…and of course Love. Derek provides all that and more, and I’m so grateful and thrilled for our young man and his gift of a father who is present.

Here are a few ideas for shopping online, keeping it short and sweet.

Look Optic - My Favorite Readers - Use my code Janet15 for all glasses.

A product for the whole family - Collective Labs

Collective Labs - "GRATEFUL25" for you -- this will give you $25 off -which includes Shampoo, Conditioner, Serum, Scalp Massager, Microfiber Hair Towel

Rapha Riding Gear / Giro Shoes / Poc Helmet

Rapha

biking helmet

Biking Shoes

Words to live by - The Daily Stoic

One Skin - Nu Calm App

One Skin - Run don’t walk for this product! For men and women, this product is a game changer for skin! Use my discount code JANET15

NuCalm - Because dads need to chill out.

Tombolo - The ultimate in Cabana and Hawaiian shirts

Vongole!' Cabana (Navy)

Polo - Green (Terrycloth)

This quote is one of my favorites. Our son knows he is loved and supported and that his life and thoughts matter.

Cheers to the wonderful fathers, father figures, and male mentors out there, you have touched the lives of people out there, you don’t even know.  Thank you for all that you do, for the hard work you put into the world, and for your strength. Thank you for our fathers whom we loved and learned from who are no longer with us, they too are remembered.

We love you, Janet, Derek & Buster

Have a beautiful day! Thank you for reading.

Good Dads - A Real Game Changer - TedTalks

Levels helps you see how food affects your health.

You can see his LEVELS Instagram Video here - Both Derek and I are learnig so much with our CGM from Levels. Neither of us is diabetic or pre-diabetic, our goal is health and longevity! But after one month of continuous monitoring, we’ve both made changes that we weren’t aware we needed to do, but are happy to do so.

Keep dad safe! How about an Alto membership? If you live in a city that is serviced by Alto it's a lovely rideshare experience. - Use my code JANET10

My dad and I - unfortunately, he passed away at a very young age in 1977. He would have been extremely proud of Luca and our family. My father graduated from T.C.U. in Ft. Worth, Texas, and was signed on to get his master’s degree at S.M.U. in Dallas where Luca attends college, unfortunately, he passed away a month before. It's a wonderful feeling to know my dad is watching over Luca and in a cosmic spiritual way,…I think my dad will receive his master’s degree.

2020 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

November 13, 2020 janet gunn
Holiday Gift Guide 2020 janet gunn

I think as 2020 wraps up, we all need a holiday and to spread a little joy and kindness. One of my favorite things to do when this time of year rolls around is sit down with a nice cappuccino and put together my holiday gift guide. This year, there’ll be a lot less travel and a little more vino and carbs flowing! I will miss hustling about town the day before Christmas, but thank goodness for online gift guides and Amazon elves. So grab your list, check it twice—and let’s get shopping and giving!
