I’m slowly working on building Zelda’s collection of books, with both classics and new favorites. Around bedtime each night we try to sit down and read one, so I’m constantly looking for new additions to add to her library. Let me know if you have any suggestions, I always love getting new ideas!
One of the classics is Rapunzel, the story of a girl, with long flowing hair who is locked in the tower by an evil witch. The witch is her only visitor, who enters the tower using her hair as a ladder (ouch!). One day Rapunzel’s singing catches the ear of a prince, who Rapunzel invites up into her tower and befriends him. But trouble ensues when the witch learns of Rapunzel’s new friend, and the prince and Rapunzel find themselves in trouble!
I hope you like this one as much as Z and I do!

My dad is the example I try to live my life by. My parents used to own a restaurant and growing up, I saw my dad work nearly 15 hours a day, sometimes 7 days a week to provide for us. From him, I learned what hard work meant and how to enjoy life even when it seems like all of the cards are stacked against you. He always made sure to spend every free moment he had with my sister and I. He taught me how to ride a bike, he practiced tennis with me, he took us to Wisconsin for a family vacation, he taught me how to make ravioli, all while probably exhausted. Family always comes first for my dad even he worked all day he came home with a smile. This is the precedent I live my life by and it is all thanks to my dad.

Your Gifts For Every Dad segment on “You and Me This Morning” inspired me! My son will be a father for the FIRST time! My son and his wife announced the happy news on Mother’s Day which was my best present ever! I will be checking out Dazzle for some great Father-To-Be Gifts! Thanks for the inspiration!

My Dad means LIFE to me. He is an extraordinary human-being who has taught me the beauty of not only life itself, but Existence. He has shown me how to appreciate the gift of life and all of its contents… good or bad. He has been an exceptional Father, guide, mentor, role model, protector & hero to me. He is the person who I feel the safest, most comfortable with in the entire world & can count/depend on him for anything & everything. He is someone I have learned good morals, values, standards, manners and virtues from. He is the realist, most genuine person I have ever known. He never lies, paints, or sugar coats anything… he is the real deal. My dad is a kind, noble man with an amazing heart. He truly is a humanitarian and the most modest, humble & down to earth person anyone could ever know. He IS and ALWAYS will be MY hero for all of Eternity

My dad is the true definition of selfless. When I was young, I hated my father because I could never understand why he left the five of us to move to Colombia. As I got older, I realized that in order to support us he had to be away from us. He didn’t like being away from us anymore than we liked it. However, back then, there weren’t many opportunities for immigrants over here- especially when you had a family of seven to support. So as much as he wanted to stay with us, he moved back to Colombia and would send money to my mom to keep a roof over our heads and take care of us. I only got to see him once a year (if I was lucky) my entire life, but I respect what he has done for our family so much. Unfortunately, I never really had the chance to bond with him as a kid. But, as an adult, I try to make up for lost time and look forward to our weekly calls and the few times we get to see each other. He will be traveling here at the end of June to meet my son for the first time and I couldn’t be more excited!

Unfortunately I don’t have a Dad around. But I wanted to tell you about my husband who has shown me what a Father really is. He is the most amazing, loving and hard working person I know. Throughout my whole life I never knew what a father was and I feel so lucky to have my husband be the father I always dreamed of for our son. I can’t wait to watch the bond they share for the rest of our lives, it melts my heart.
