This year, Father’s Day falls on June 21st. Normally that would consist of going out to brunch or celebrating a big BBQ celebration with family, Father’s Day this year will undoubtedly be different. Never fear, there are still plenty of fun ways to celebrate Dad at home! Here are some unique ways to celebrate all of the Dad’s, Step-Fathers, Father-in-Laws, Grandfathers, and Father’s-to-be

Even though we are home for Father’s Day, it doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate Dad. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to be creative. Just remember, the best thing about being home is that we are forced to slow down and spend more time with family, creating unforgettable memories.
