Fathers Day is unfolding

What I am about to post is: about putting some care into your husband, if he is a father ( even if he is not- he is still worth it ). Now this post, you would think should be about something to do on
 " mothers day". Nope!!! Men need some pampering too. Even 'manly men' need to be appreciated and have some relaxing care for themselves.
What I am talking about is drawing them a soothing warm MILK BATH !
Yes, that's right- a milk bath....and Ill tell you how and why on many levels its a wonderful idea for your man...your children's father, your husband, the love of your life....whatever you want to call him ;)

We all know Cleopatra used milk and honey baths and her skin was talked about as being silky and luxurious. It was a rich persons pleasure. Now I don't advocate using honey because it can get a bit sticky and a bit cloggy in the drain....and who wants a mess to clean up afterwards?? Not I~
Use it on your toast...then call it good.
First the how:
In a clean bathtub run hot/warm water ( or pool temp. whatever you desire will do, even cool water if its hot out where you are- works fine) Immediately pour a half gallon of whole milk in the tub while the water is running. Only use whole milk as you want full benefits. It has omega 3 fatty acids and calcium, etc. that makes you soft, sooths the skin and is beneficial to your health. No additives or yucky chemicals. ( make sure its hormone free milk if you can.)

If you choose to bump it up a bit and get some aroma therapy going, try some fresh lavender or rose petals. Again, don't use oils as they leave a ring and make clean up not so fun...

I've found that men usually like just the milk in the water, with the exception of some liking the lavender if they are not afraid of the calming effect it has on their senses...it doesn't make them a girly man! Men who are secure in themselves, are good with doing this.
(make sure you strain out the leaves before you drain)
Women, just draw your man a relaxing milk bath and maybe put his favorite music on in the bathroom, give him a kiss and take the kids out away from the house for an hour or two so he can let the rough edges of the week melt away. Maybe you can go shopping for his favorite foods. What guy doesn't like a home cooked meal in a peaceful home full of the family he loves??
Trust me, once he has partaken of this unusual but most satisfying act of love, his heart will be full of happiness and love.
Fathers day, like mothers day, is only one day a year. In all reality, I've always felt that you need to be cherished every day of the year. Do things like this for each other often. Make sure not much time goes by that you don't give an extra hug or a special gesture to the one you love for what they do..  forgive the little imperfections that may annoy you...bask in the warm fuzzy feelings and the everyday things they do to make life work comfortably. Wake up every morning and ask yourself, "what can I do today to make this a good day for my loved one" Hopefully they will wake up thinking the same thing about you~ ( its a good idea to communicate this with each other so your on the same page) Acknowledge your spouse when they go the extra minute for you.
And the kids......well, they are your blessings. And when you have a rough day with them and you want to pull your hair out from frustrations...we all have been there..haha... best thing to do is wait until they are fast asleep at night and look in on them quietly, sleeping like angels and remember how beautiful they really are...and yes someday they will grow up and have kids of their own and you can smile with glee when they come back to you and apologize for running you ragged on too many days! Life is funny that way. It tends to go full circle!

I am giving a special shout out to my own father on fathers day who passed in 2001. I miss you dad and I think of you often.
Here are to the fathers that have been taken away too soon or the ones who lived a good life and have passed to the heavens above. Our love goes out to you~
