I love Beth Blair’s profile of terrific writer, husband, dad and blogger Fred Goodall over on SheKnows.com. And Fred shared a Father’s Day tradition that I think is just wonderful — and worth trying with your own family:

Each year Fred’s kids make a Father’s Day poster that says ‘Happy Father’s Day,’ with the year written on the poster. He holds the sign while his three kids, ages 9, 6 and 2, gather around. Then they take a photo. “It’s nice to look at those photos and see how our family has grown over the years,” he says.

Something simple, inexpensive — yet so precious as the years go by.

What Father’s Day traditions do you enjoy with your family?

My favorite moms and travel gurus, The Traveling Mamas, are now The Vacation Gals.

Have you checked out their new blog? Beth Blair, Jennifer Miner and Kara Williams are three professional travel writers — and moms — who share their favorite destinations for family trips, girlfriend getaways and romantic escapes. They also talk about the latest travel gear and travel news and offer great travel tips.

What I really like about the blog is that it doesn’t just cover family travel (as much as I love family travel!). They’ll also get your juices flowing for that great girlfriend getaway or a romantic weekend when Grandma’s watching the kiddos.

Very cool:  The Vacation Gals is a finalist in the 2010 Bloggies — the 10th annual Weblog Awards.

Voting takes just a minute, and it’s a great way to support your favorite blogs. (Another fave of mine, Leo Babauta’s Zen Habits, is also a finalist.) Check out all the great stuff these gals are doing, then go vote!
