The best part of my week

Mar 81 min read

Every Saturday morning my 7yo daughter and I have been going to get donuts and coffee together while the rest of the family sleeps. We just sit at this little table and talk about whatever. Last week she told me I'm her best friend and asked if I was her best friend too. Obviously I said yes immediately. These little traditions are making me realize that some of my best memories with my kids will probably be these simple moments, not the big vacations or expensive stuff. Just me, her, and a maple bar.

That's the sweetest tradition. Those Saturday morning memories are going to stick with her forever. My daughter and I have our Tuesday ice cream run and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Man, that's gold right there. Those quiet moments with just one kid hit different. We do something similar with my son and Legos on Sunday mornings, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

This is what it's all about. My kids are older now and I'd give anything to go back to Saturday mornings like that with them. Soak it in, brother.

Donuts and coffee with dad on Saturday morning sounds like her best part of the week too honestly. You're creating memories that'll outlast everything else.

This is it. This is the stuff that matters. One on one time with your kid doing something she loves. How long have you been doing this tradition?
