    Yoda Best Footprint Cards for Father’s Day, Mother’s Day or Any Day

    June 7, 2019 - By 

    We got a little geeky this past Mother’s Day and did handmade Star Wars inspired cards proclaiming “Yoda Best,” using a green footprint for Yoda. These work great for Father’s Day too!

    The Modern Dad

    I was reading an article about Estee Lauder being sued for discriminating against new fathers because dads get two weeks paid vacation and moms get six weeks, and it got me thinking. My husband got only ten days of Paternity Leave from the Army when I gave birth. It would have been amazing to have him there for six weeks! I can be honest and admit I spent the first week of him back at work crying every day under the stress of trying to figure out this mom stuff on my own. I didn’t have family around to help…
