Long Live the “DAD BOD”

“DAD BOD” – Ever since Leonardo DiCaprio showed his not so sculpted body on a beach, people have been labeling that “bod” the “dad bod.”

Funny thing – he isn’t even a dad, so labeling this type of “bod” a “dad bod” is giving a name to a body  that says “I am a little too busy to focus on me right now but I haven’t completely lost it.”

So why do I say Long Live the Dad Bod? Clearly, I am all about fitness and good health and maybe “dad bod” doesn’t scream “super fit.”

BUT – from my perspective. This momma is sitting in her beach chair, watching her husband building sandcastles and bringing water from the ocean to make a pool for his kids and nothing could be sexier than that dad with his shirt off doing anything and everything for his kids.

Having a “dad bod” means that this dad has his shirt off, getting some sun, spending time with his family. The “dad bod” means that he IS in-fact a dad and no, his focus isn’t always on himself. He is the dad that sometimes wakes up to his kids in his bed and can’t sneak out to get a workout in.

The dad that spends his mornings helping to making lunches and getting the kids out the door rather than working out. The dad that enjoys  his beer at the end of the day after the kids are in bed and gives himself a high five for helping to keep the kids alive that day.

The dad that slips extra chicken nuggets in his mouth from his kid’s plate and always jumps at the chance to eat pizza instead of the spaghetti squash his wife makes him eat because she “wants him to live forever.” The dad that works full time and so stopping at a gym for an extra hour a day is just taking too much time away from his family.

The dad that doesn’t miss a chance to watch his kids play sports and so he watches them exercise rather than do it himself. The dad that selflessly gives everything he has to his family and if he ends up having extra time to focus on him, he will.

That is the dad who creates the “DAD BOD” and is is about the sexiest BOD there is.
So, wives….you LOVE on that DAD BOD, you embrace that because that DAD BOD came from lots of love, late nights up, sand castle building and extra hours spent fathering some amazing children you created.

And to the owner of the DAD BOD — we love you JUST the way you are.

Keep rocking that DAD BOD, dads 😉

Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer Year 16 and we are putting the whole “for richer or poorer, in sickness and health” to the test. 😳

Between hospital bills and almost 2 weeks in the hospital - we have reached the sicker and poorer side of our marriage 🫤

But we have also stayed madly in love throughout every adventure and moment… and this won’t be any different. 🥰

To the guy I married when I was 20 years old and everyone said it was crazy…. 

You are the best part of my life 💕

Here’s to another 16…. 🥂 
More health & more richer 😉😆

HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉 My favorite pe HE IS HOME!!! 🙌🏼🥰💕🎉

My favorite person in the entire world is home after a long 12 days in the hospital!!!!!!

12 days is the LONGEST we have ever not snuggled together….
The LONGEST the kids haven’t had daddy home…

For 10 of those days, we didn’t have a full conversation.. which is also the longest time we have gone without talking 😪

He still has pancreatitis and will need gallbladder surgery in the near future….
But for now, he can heal at home with his family! 💕

We are so grateful for all of the love, prayers, visits, meals, kid pickups and every bit of incredible support. 

For most of the time he was gone, I cried every morning and every night before and after I was with him. 
I am so very grateful for every person that offered any help because it meant soooo much and mentally I needed it!!!

We are soooooooooooo grateful as a family for ALL OF YOU!! 💕

Every person who helped and prayed and supported us was absolutely apart if his healing.

We are snuggling him extra now and taking every bit of time we have with him!!!

XOXOX, 
The Doran’s

This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… This is not the Mothers Day I would have picked… 

But I would pick these kids, this family and this moment of pride for my boy over and over again. 

Just being together matters. 

Just raising good humans matters. 

If my Mothers Day gift this year was this reminder that my kids are growing into great people.. that’s enough 💕

I don’t know if it’s a sign… But I do know t I don’t know if it’s a sign…
But I do know there is power in prayer…
I do know there aren’t any coincidences…
I do know that these doves weren’t not just flying by and found a place to land… 
They had to come from up above and swoop down into this courtyard.

Tonight will officially mark the most amount of ni Tonight will officially mark the most amount of nights we haven’t slept together in 17 years… 😢

The hardest part of today was him being out of it so much and sleeping that he was talking in his sleep to the kids. 😪

The second hardest was feeding him and seeing him be the most weak he has ever been. 

The third hardest was leaving him… 

I walk away and leave it to God and the nurses to take care of him while I’m gone.

And go home and put a smile on my face when I’m home with the kids…

And pray that when I come back, he has GRANDPA JOE’d himself out of this bed and I can take him home 🥰
Our favorite person in the house went to the ER wi Our favorite person in the house went to the ER with chest pains (holy scare) —
And it turned out to be the gallbladder. 😬

After alot of scans and tests, it looks like our guy is going to spend some days in the hospital and set to have surgery soon. 😢

My husband is the ROCK of this whole family. 
Everyone else (including me) are just mini hurricanes in this life and he is the rock that stays still and holds us all together. 

For a second, I thought I would just stay silent on here. If it wasn’t fitness, podcasts or inspiration, maybe I’ll just keep quiet. 

But - I have opened up alot about my life… 
And I don’t want you to follow me or my family and think everything is rainbows and butterflies.

I don’t want people who go through illness or hard times to think they are alone in that. I want to continue to show you that there are hard times, scary times and not every day is a party… but we move forward. 

We draw strength from eachother as a family, we draw strength from the friends that have been placed in our lives and we draw strength from God. 

I will continue to be open about our family in hopes to inspire you, to be here for you if YOU need someone and to show you that we’re all human and all have struggles. 

We are patiently waiting for surgery…
we were all set to go yesterday but his pancreas levels were bad so they canceled it.

Today, we are waiting for blood work to give us the all clear for surgery and hope his pain goes away. 

The kids have never seen daddy like this so it’s hard watching them cry everytime they think of him or see him, while trying to hold it in at the same time. 😪

Last night, the kids and I prayed..
We prayed for daddy’s pain, we prayed for the surgeons hands, for the nurses who are taking care of him, for the doctors, and for our friends who have been so thoughtful.

Thank you everyone for your continued prayers, love and support! 💕
All the feels today as so many people stopped to s All the feels today as so many people stopped to support my sweet girl. Some teenagers, some parents and then this guy that paused his job to give her some business. 

He then gave her back the dog treat and said to give it to the dog. 

All. The. Feels. 💕

Would love to blow up his kindness 💕
