How do you choose a thoughtful Father’s Day gift for someone who rarely tells you what he wants?

My newest article includes everyday investment pieces, sentimental DIY gifts and experiences that create intentional time between Dad and his children.

But after asking two dads about their favourite Father’s Day gifts, I realised they remembered the feeling of the day more clearly than anything they had unwrapped.

Perhaps the best gift is simply creating a day that makes Dad feel noticed, loved and appreciated. 🤎

A month ago, I asked Tony a question:

“What if we each invested $1,000 into our health?”

We’ve spent so much of the past few years operating in survival mode—parenthood, broken sleep, major moves and all the invisible emotional and mental load that comes with family life.

Now that we finally have a little more space to look honestly at how we’re feeling, we’ve decided to begin a new experiment.

We’ll each have $1,000 to invest deliberately in our health over the coming months. But this won’t only be about what we buy. Each month, I’ll share one paid investment and one free investment involving time, attention or effort—and explore what they actually give back to our lives.

The introductory article is now live:

I’d love to know: if you had $1,000 to invest in how you feel, where would you begin?

I thought moving into our tiny home would be the moment we could finally exhale.

What I didn't anticipate was how many decisions would follow us through the front door.

The snag list. The deck. The landscaping. Moving our belongings across the country. Settling two little boys. Moving our cats. Starting life somewhere completely new.

Eventually I didn't even want to decide what groceries to buy.

I wrote about the decision fatigue that quietly crept in after building our tiny home — and why we've decided that some of our plans can simply wait.
