FREEBIE PRINTABLE for Dads!


If your family is anything like mine, your kids miss their daddy like CRAZY when he travels.  My husband is on the road much more than he's home, so when he leaves for long trips... it helps the kids (and me) to count down and visualize how long we have left to go.  Plus, it helps my kids stop asking me the redundant, "How many more days until daddy gets home" question.


This printable is super easy... just download from the link below and print.  I laminated the main image for durability... then used an exact-o knife to cut a slit for the chainlink strips.


I also made a coordinating set of strips to use for the countdown chain.  Each time he leaves town, you can just print and add a new set of strips to the sign.  Make one for your fridge... or print one for each kiddo! 

It's hard on both moms and kids when dads are out of town, so I'm hoping this makes it a bit easier to get through those long days and to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Please PIN and then DOWNLOAD THIS FREEBIE {HERE}!

  5. Thanks for this! My husband used to be a road warrior, but now he's mostly home with only the occasional trip. But even when he is home, he's still gone 13 hours a day for work so I am dying for him walk in the door each evening so I can catch a little break! I just might make one of these on a daily basis to help me maintain my sanity :)

  7. What a neat idea! I have to say, though, at first I accidentally read it as "we are so GOOD when Daddy comes home!" and I had to agree :)
