How We Celebrate Dads For Father’s Day!

Hey All!

Depending on your culture and if you celebrate Father’s Day, It can be celebrated in many different ways. You can take your dad out to dinner, take him on a shopping spree, or do something fun that he loves to do. Father’s day is the perfect opportunity to recognize everything he does. Whether you are getting together with all your family or spending quality time, this day is meant to honor and celebrate all the men in the family who are Dads or Father Figures. There are plenty of men out there helping to raise kids that aren’t even theirs folks. It’s been almost a year since I’ve seen my dad sadly as he lives in NYC and we live in Los Angeles. The last time I saw him was at our wedding and I’ve never seen him more happy in his life.

You probably can’t tell in the picture above since he never knows how to smile in pictures. lol. But we had a blast dancing the night away and laughing it up together. It was not only a celebration of me getting married, we also celebrated our parents who helped us put on the wedding and who with out them we wouldn’t be here today of course. While I can’t throw my dad a huge party this Father’s Day or even see him, I’m still going to celebrate him and virtually spend the day with him over video chat. We have two words we like to use to celebrate Dads being a Hispanic family. One word is Estrenar (because it’s very common to give dad a new shirt, grilling set, or speaker he can use that same day) and the second is Apapacho (because Dad gets to be spoiled with love and care for that specific day).

There is one store that me and my dad bond over our Insane love for and that is Target. I recently took him to Target with me so we could shop together for his Father’s Day gift. When I say took with me I had him on video chat so he could see me as I shopped at Target. My Dad is not one of those guys who likes surprise gifts. He likes to know what he’s getting or he likes to tell you what he wants.

Target has an amazing selection of gift ideas for Dad!
