bigger isn’t always better.

As a little girl it was told to me that fairy tale endings happened in a castle. A big palatial home with space for your treasures.

Today I see things a bit differently. A big space filled with treasures equals a lot of things that need to be dusted. I can think of other ways I would prefer to spend my day. But with all honesty there is one thing I would like to keep from the fairy tale...A man servant. 

Someone who takes out the trash. Someone who takes my car out for oil and filter changes. Takes the dogs for walks and carries all my bags from store to store without complaint or sigh. 

Sure you could argue that this is the role of the dutiful husband. But, hear me out on this, with your husband no longer spending his time doing menial tasks he can do more important things like play with the kids. Opening you up for time, I don’t know to maybe take a shower? Better yet to leave the house and get a manicure on all ten finger at once.

This fathers day think beyond the tie. Unless its a uniform for your new man servant.
